Bye, bye Fabian

ALAMEDA -- Cornerback Fabian Washington was traded to Baltimore for a fourth-round pick (125th) overall.

It's been quite the plunge for Washington. This time a year ago, he was supposed to be an anchor of the secondary. But it only took two games for him to lose his starting job in 2007.

He was arrested this offseason for domestic battery, but not charged. He entered a 26-week intervention program as part of a deferred prosecution agreement. He also has a pending paternity case with the girlfriend involved in the domestic case.

The Raiders traded up in 2005 to draft Washington. Three years later, he's only worth a fourth-round pick.

Wow.

Those are the kind of draft mistakes that keep the Raiders from escaping the bottom of the NFL.
