You wouldn't think cast-offs from the worst team in the league would be hot commodities, but three players who were waived by the Raiders yesterday were quickly snatched up today, headlined by third-round pick Quentin Moses.
Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that Moses, who as the first pick of the third round was the highest-drafted player to be released yesterday, has been claimed off waivers by the Arizona Cardinals. That gives the Cardinals another team's high third-round pick after they got rid of their own high third-round pick, linebacker Buster Davis.
Schefter also reports that guard Kevin Boothe, who started 14 games for the Raiders as a rookie last season but was waived yesterday, has been claimed by the Giants. And safety Eric Frampton, the Raiders' fifth-round pick out of Washington State, has been claimed by the Lions.
That players whom the Raiders jettisoned are having no trouble landing with other teams may indicate that coach Lane Kiffin is right to think the Raiders made some mistakes in trimming their roster yesterday.
