A vote for Kelly, Sands

ALAMEDA -- I know I said I was done, but this does need to be mentioned.

The Raiders didn't select Glenn Dorsey because they'd already made Tommy Kelly the highest paid defensive tackle in league history.

That's a year after giving Terdell Sands a four-year deal worth $17 million.

Kiffin's campaign for a defensive lineman might have been a smokescreen, but the Raiders better get stellar play from Kelly and Sands to justify adding another running back.

Dorsey will be in their division. And if he becomes a star, he'll remind them twice a year how good he is.

But if McFadden has an Adrian Peterson-like impact, will any of you care?
