From one of my FFL email listserves. They've been pretty good in the past on this kind of stuff.
QB Vince Young, Texas: Whether he scored a 6 or a 16 on the
Wonderlic test, either score is on par with an autistic mule. Sorry, it’s the
truth. Interestingly, J.P. Losman and Kordell Stewart – both lacking
top-notch QB mentality – scored 14 and 15 respectively. Even Steve
McNair scored a 15, and it took him 6 years to demonstrate that he “got it”
Anyway, Young skipped the Combine drills but will throw at his Pro Day --
though he won’t do speed, strength or agility drills. We already said
Young will fall past Tennessee at #3 (see our February mock on the
site) and we’re sticking to it. Our best Titans source told us Jeff Fisher
developed a Senior Bowl coaching crush on LT D’Brickashaw Ferguson,
just like Jon Gruden did on Cadillac Williams last year. Plus, the Titans
just released All-Pro LT Brad Hopkins.
Bottom line: Unless Vince unveils a laser-guided rocket launcher at his
private workout, he’s slipping to #7 or further, barring a trade: It’s
Houston/Bush, New Orleans/Leinart, Tennessee/Ferguson. Oakland might
trade up a few spots with the New York Jets (#4) to grab Young if they
don’t trade for Daunte Culpepper first.
Ahhhh... Vince Young with the Raiders. It's enough to warm your heart in the dead of winter.

I honestly do not see them making that big of a mistake. Acquiring Moss and Jordan at this point in time in their careers only to be lead by a developing QB with questionable NFL talent? Better off sticking with the guy that has been there and to two title games and a Superbowl. No, he is not anything spectacular but he has made it work in the right systems. Oakland does not need another Tui.
