Gallery seals Raiders pick for stronger line
Alameda California Norv Turner and the Raiders chose Robert Gallery second overall to shore up the offensive line after a 4 12 season. The pick focuses on a physical run game and protection for a new era under Turner, with Rich Gannon aging and quarterbacks rated elsewhere. Gallery’s arrival anchors a rebuilt line as Oakland aims to balance offense and defense with free agents Sapp and Washington joining the front.
