Raiders Pick Terrelle Pryor in Supplemental Draft: The Oakland Raiders spent a third-round pick on former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor in the NFL Supplemental Draft, forfeiting a pick in that round in the 2012 NFL Draft. Pryor was given a five-game NFL suspension to match the suspension he would've received if he stayed in college for a final season. No other players were picked. Jason Cole writes that this is a terrible outcome for a player who needs discipline and development "Name the last quarterback the Raiders really nurtured?" he writes.
Raiders looked like they were making a bit of progress last year, obviously had nothing to do with management or personnel decisions.
At least Al didn't pick Tebow in the first round.

Hey, it's not like the Raiders ever do anything with third-round picks anyway.

But what will the Patriots steal from them next year?

Ron Curry, which may actually be the plan here.

The concession staff isn't going to hire itself.

Any wonder the Raiders continue to struggle? They now have no second, third, or fourth round pick in the draft to possibly select a athlete who has a NFL position to play.
