Oakland do need a QB, but is Russell the QB for them, probably not. in all honsety they should have taken leinart last year. They should draft Quinn this year if they are going to take a QB.
Calvin johnson is a good player, but the raiders are a few years away from being able draft a WR in the first round of the draft. A team like the pats could take the top rated player with the first pick in the draft, but the raiders need plug holes, they gotto find there guy and trade down for him.
I have to admit I have only recently started to watch american football, but I cannot believe all the hype that goes aling with it. You have a few good games and all of a sudden you GOD!! I look at the draft and all I see is hype, so many players are over rated and so many under rated. One of the reasons I love the pats so much is that they are so smart. They never buy into the Hype (I loved how the chargers bought into the hype and we smoked them). The pats will make the smart choice with there picks, they get good character guys,they type who have helped forged the pats into what they are today and the type who will keep they credo alive.
Sorry I went off on a tangent. what would I do with the Number on over all pick.......(this is the point I wanted to get across) trade down, there is always some fool who will take the over rated guy, you can take more picks and equally good guys when you trade down. I suppose Belichick fan does have a point if you think you got your guy take him, but you gotto be as sure as hell that he is your guy. Personally I don't think Russell is that guy, only time will tell if I am right or wrong. He doens't seem to have that fire in him, i don't get the impression that he is the kinda guy who wants to win it all over and over again. I watched an interview with Jarvis Moss, he seems like a guy who is going to do well, I think her has the hunger (I am not saying anything about where he should go in the draft(don't wanna open another kettle of ishh)).
Anyways the draft is only a few days away and I can't wait for 12hrs of sports talk!!
