Tyler

Brayton

Shaw, a former standout at Michigan State, adds depth with Gerard Warren still on the mend. His addition frees up Tyler Brayton to play more end.

It should be a high scoring game in Oakland this week.

Brayton, who can play at least three of the four defensive line positions, would have a better chance to start in Carolina. He’d rotate with the Colts.

The previous regime tried to move the 6-6/280-pounder to outside linebacker last year.

The first restricted free agent to sign! Kelly is a candidate to take over for Tyler Brayton and start opposite Derrick Burgess in 2007. His 6-5/300-pound body would be a load coming off the right defensive end.

Terdell Sands recently signed a big deal and should move into the starting lineup. Kelly started at end in Week 17 with Sands inside and the move reportedly worked well. Kelly is big for a DE, but good against the run and fits when Oakland uses a 3-4 defense. Tyler Brayton could lose his starting job.

Oakland would rather see Jay Richardson or Quentin Moses claim the gig, but the 6-7 Huntley has terrific size and could be a force against the run. Incumbent starter Tyler Brayton will probably be a swing tackle-end this year.

Tyler Brayton has kicked inside. The winner of the Moses-Kevin Huntley battle isn’t likely to see many double teams opposite Derrick Burgess.

The 2003 first-round pick has been a bust. Oakland’s new staff tried to move him inside, but Gerard Warren’s acquisition could mean the end for Brayton.
