This trade is bad for the Skins becasue it moves another team that may need a WR ahead of the Skins in the draft order. Minnesota may take Moss's replacement at #7 now.
yeah that's exactly what I'm thinking, looks like M. Williams could go at 7
off topic for a second, it's uncanny how many guys named Napoleon have played for the Raiders-Napoleon Kauffman, Napoleon McCallum, Napoleon Harris

Good news is the Vikings still have 2 very good recievers in Marcus Robinson and Nate Burleson.

Minnesota could still draft for defense at #7. That's where their main weakness is.

Damn Kerry Collins...people are gonna think he's good now.
I'd take Kerry Collins over Mark Brunell.

What I wanna know is this: What is good ol Norv gonna do when Moss has one of his "moments"? Can you imagine those two going at it on the sidelines? It's gonna be interesting to see how those two get along.

I'm not really sure why either team would team would do this trade. Oakland just resigned Jerry Porter to a big contract, and it didnt really seem to be the sort of money you pay a #2 guy. Also, their defensive front 7 was atrocious this season, and now they are giving up possibly the best player in that group to pick up more offense? I know its Al Davis, but geez...Nap Harris, if my memory serves me, is a middle linebacker and the Vikes already have our very own local boy EJ Henderson manning the middle for years to come. This isn't to say that he couldnt switch to Sam LB, but why would the Vikes give up Moss just to get a decent LB who may or may not fit and a high draft pick? It seems like a pretty bad trade on both sides, especially when you consider that the Raiders, after their last batch of moves, resigning Porter and franchising Woodson, are now significantly OVER the cap, at least according to AskTheCommish.com's latest numbers, which were updated today. I'm not really sure how they plan on picking up 7.5 million more when they are already nearly 12 million over as it is. And I was under the impression also that they planned to make a big push for Lamont Jordan, which would be a much more prudent move on their part.
Normally I would be all for this idiotic trade, but I fear this idiotic trade is going to cost us Mike Williams. And that is really very bad news indeed.

Yes, but I would also take a monkey we taught to throw footballs over Mark Brunell.

I can't remember where I read this, but I remember reading somewhere that the Vikings were disappointed that Henderson wasn't grasping the defensive schemes
I'll see if I can find a link
