I'll see what I can find, that might have come from a piece on PFT. I think you hit the nail on the head if that this might be myth or misinformation on the part of the Raiders. The only person who gave out real information before the draft is no longer here. Can I get an Amen on that? |
Oh, I think there's plenty of room for rumor, lies and unsubstianted attacks.

4. Oakland -- The Raiders remain a mystery of sorts, but we're now fairly sure (ha!) they're not taking Arkansas running back Darren McFadden or Virginia's Long. Too many running backs, and too much bad blood with Howie Long, Chris's father, are the short-hand reasons. That pushes us in the direction of Gholston, because the Raiders' top need is an impact pass rusher. Oakland likely will also try to solicit offers for the pick, believing that someone might try to move up for either McFadden or USC defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis.

I've looked around a bit, and I haven't seen it anywhere else, including PFT and the local Oakland media. I'd think PFT would be all over it if there were something to it (and maybe even if there weren't).
