Silver Minings: Raiders to face Lynn Bowden Jr. in Week 16

The Las Vegas Raiders will get a reminder of a draft decision gone bad when they host the Miami Dolphins on Saturday night.

The Raiders traded third-round pick Lynn Bowden Jr. to the Dolphins on cut-down day in September in what was a stunning decision to many. The Kentucky product never fit in with the Raiders, but trading draft picks as rookies is rare in the NFL.

Bowden has played a lot recently because of injuries in Miami and he has produced. He has had 17 catches in the past three games and he has 18 catches on the season.
