Oakland Raiders 2012 draft picks:
1st round (to Cincy): QB Carson Palmer
2nd round (to NE): OT Joe Barksdale and RB Taiwan Jones
3rd round (Supplemental): QB Terrell Pryor
4th round (to Wash): QB Jason Campbell
5th round: Still own pick
6th round: Still own pick
7th round (to Seattle): OLB Aaron Curry

Do you really see a lot of value here? Lets set aside Palmer for a second.
Campbell played okay, but he wasn't a star. The Raiders didn't win the division last year, and they probably weren't winning the division this year with him at the helm. But, either way, he will be gone.
Barksdale and Jones are both backups. Do you ever see Jones being a starter? I mean, Barksdale....maybe. But, then again, with the struggles on the line currently..... I would expect him to get more of a look.
Pryor- a bit of a project, and now, when do you think he will actually get to play QB? Five years from now?
Now, I am on record that I like the Curry trade. I wish the Chiefs had made that trade.
But, other than that trade.... there is a whole lotta meh at best. And, the Palmer trade is amazing....just astounding.
