BTW, Sam Raimi is on record as not liking Venom, so unless Marvel's basically told him he has to include him, I wouldn't expect to see him--or Carnage--in the movie.
As far as non-science-freak Spidey villains:
Kraven, Mysterio, Scorpion, Shocker, some of the Hobgoblins, Vulture, the Enforcers (if you want to go back far enough to count them)... I'm sure there are others, but they're not coming to mind. I agree completely--and have, in fact, been saying as much since I walked out of Spider-Man 2--that the next villain cannot be a normal guy turned into a freak by a science accident, not if the series is going to work.
