By Matt Bowen On Thursday, the Raiders cut CB Stanford Routt—one season after giving him a deal that was eventually restructured to 5-years, $54-million dollars (with $20-mil in guarantees). A surprise move? I didn’t see it coming, but then again, the Raiders have a new GM and head coach in...

Round 1 Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama We have discussed ad nauseam over the past few weeks why CB is a need (along with the interior of the OL and generating a pass rush) for Dallas . . . so why don't we take a different approach this week? Let's assume (there's that word) that Cuzzin Jerruh...
