Panicman Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Sign Michael Turner, then McFadden is a moot point. With a top tier running back in place, that allows the FO to draft Jake Long and finally give some protection to whichever quarterback wins the job, let alone who wouldn't want run behind Ovie and Long. Big holes equal big runs. We already have a homerun hitter with Norwood. Bring on Turner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-dawg Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 If the money is not too ridiculous, I'm all for Michael Turner.....like his combo. of power and speed..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Ray Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I think Turner is going to command more than we will offer seeing that he is the BEST FA RB on the market and will draw interest from many teams. Our best bet is to draft Jake Long in the 1st and take a RB like Ray Rice, Kevin Smith, or even better, Tashard Choice in the 3rd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Storms Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 That's a brilliant idea, go for someone that can't contribute to the passing game and remains a heavily overrated runner who hasn't carried the load since his career at NIU.

outlaw87 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Making McFadden moot might not be good.If we are sitting at #3 with Mcfadden on the board, we could get a really good trade offer.If we have already got Turner, teams will make the Raiders a trade offer, knowing we won't take McFadden.So unless he is still a FA after the draft, I don't want him. I'd love someone to trade up with us to get McFadden and then we take Mendenhall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesse58 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 i wouldn't say that he's the answer, but i wouldn't be upset if we offered him a reasonable starters salary. imo he hasn't proven enough to deserve anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Latona Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I think Turner wouldn't be bad, but if hes too much, Ray Rice would be a good choice that will still allow us to adress our line first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gritz Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Let's see......hmmmmmmm.....if Michael Turner is the answer...."I'll take 'Surely To Be Overpriced Running Backs Who Haven't Ever Carried The Load Alone in the NFL Who We Can't Afford Anyway" for $1000 Alex."
