Help at wideout

Today’s topic is the severe drought of wide receivers that currently plagues Oakland.  While Javon Walker’s 4 catch 60 yard performance against Arizona makes me feel a little better, the Raiders are still ridiculously thin at the position.  Curry is a great athlete, but has never put up #1 WR numbers.  Granted, he’s never really had a terribly consistent quarterback, so he may have a breakout season...but I’m not counting on it.  Behind those two, there is nothing in the way of experience, and while some of the rookies have potential, they haven’t shown much thus far.  There are several veteran wideouts available like Joe Horn, Terry Glen, Koren Robinson, but none have the upside that Drew Carter offered before his knee injury.  The other option is the waiver wire, hoping that someone else’s trash can become our treasure.  A mix of these three options is probably what will get Oakland through the season, but I’ve got an idea:  Darren McFadden.  “He’s our future starting running back!”  I know, I know...I hear you.  But think about it.  He’s one of the most special athletes in the league.  He’s big, and fast enough to burn any linebacker or safety in coverage.  I’m not saying Kiffin should move DMC to the third wideout position, but you have to think that maybe McFadden will spend a little more time being split out than we all previously thought he would.  If Oakland can get number 20 on a mismatch a couple of times a game, they may not even notice their lack of receivers.
