Missing football ping...
Aren't the Raiders required by law to draft a QB in the first round this year?
Who won the Heisman? why wasn't Troy Smith in the top 5? Could it be because he's a midget?
Russell looks like Roethlisberger the way he eludes pass rushers in the pocket. Of course, he has a stronger arm and better deep ball. But accuracy is a big question.
To everyone who's watched Brady Quinn play: Do you really think if this kid didn't play for Notre Dame and have model good looks, he'd actually be a top-3 pick. His accuracy is worse than Russell, and he doesn't have the physical tools.
If I were the Raiders, I'd pick Calvin Johnson or Joe Thomas, who look like sure things at need positions, then pick up a Jeff Garcia or Matt Schaub and hope for a QB next year when the pickins are better. They are in a multi-year rebuilding plan anyway.
