Kiper re-grades drafts, gives Raiders C-

ESPN NFL Draft expert Mel Kiper re-graded last year's drafts and gave the Raiders a C-minus. Their top pick, guard/tackle Tony Bergstrom, is a backup and I agree with Kiper's take on linebacker Miles Burris: He "made some plays, but Burris isn't a guy who would start for almost any other team right now."

Burris needs another season to see what direction he is going in, that said, I have a good vibe about him.

Great pick for the 5th round....just watch.
