Moss

There are two types of trades: one that benefits one team much more than the other (the Dre Bly- Tatum Bell was an example of this trade, or even the Portis- Bailey trade; both of which was Denver gaining a huge advantage) and they trade that benefits both teams. The first Raiders trade I believe was completely unbenificial for the Lions, and I don't like it at all. I know it was too make room for Calvin Johnson, but that was a bad pick anyway. Mike Williams still has potential if you give him a chance, and Josh McNown is an impressive QB, possibly better than the aging Kitna. Plus, the Raiders now have a decent WR, and a QB who is rumored to be starting with the reigns until Russel is ready. Now the second type is one that benefits both teams: For the Raiders Moss was a cancer that wasn't going to help this team move on as when he is unhappy he won't play. And with Moss, Mike Williams was not going to be able to groom. Getting rid of Moss for that 4th rounder they already lost was smart. For the Pats, on the other hand, the trade was amazing, because that gives Tom Brady the perfect target. All in all, for the draft days the Raiders did a great job, and hey, maybe could reach 7 wins... I wouldn't be surprised
