Trade for Raiders: The Raiders drafted Bruce Campbell in the 4^th round in 2010 in what looked like a steal at the time as the athletic offensive lineman was widely projected to be drafted in the first 2 rounds. However, Campbell proved why he fell so far and why he probably should have fallen farther as he played just 19 snaps in 2 seasons. There was some talk that the Raiders would have him compete for the starting left guard job with the soon to be 35 year old Cooper Carlisle, but I guess not. Guard will be a major need of theirs in the draft.

However, Goodson was a nice pickup for them. Darren McFadden can’t stay healthy and Taiwan Jones is unproven. Goodson was buried in the depth chart in Carolina behind Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams and with the addition of Mike Tolbert, there was no room for him. However, he’s proven himself to be a decent #2  back when given the opportunity and the Raiders are just giving up a developmental prospect they’ve given up on for him.

Trade: B

Trade for Panthers: This trade makes less sense for the Panthers. Goodson had to go, obviously, but they probably would have been better off getting a late draft pick for him rather than a lost cause prospect, unless they really think they can turn Campbell into a functional offensive line prospect.

Grade: C
