News, observations and reader questions about the Oakland Raiders

It's over

ALAMEDA -- The 2008 NFL Draft is officially over. The last part of this day is waiting for Lane Kiffin to speak and give the Raiders' take on why they had a great draft (I'm still waiting for a team to say everyone they wanted was always gone and they settled a lot).

Turns out Kiffin is busy chasing free agents, so he won't be down here. We did speak with defensive coordinator Rob Ryan and offensive coordinator Greg Knapp.

More on that later.

I'm assigned to grade today's haul, and admittedly I don't know enough about any of these guys to really "grade" them. Every pick fits the Raiders' style. They're all fast.

Even the slowest player, DE Trevor Scott, ran a sub-4.6 40-yard dash.

I'll let you know what the coaches said about these players in a bit.
