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.

He wasn't that great before Charlie Weis came in and both installed a pro-style offense and coached him better. He's got an NFL-caliber arm, and he's a pretty good decision-maker. He's for real. The question is, who will want him? I can honestly see all of the first ten picks going to people not named Brady Quinn. The Raiders don't like drafting QBs in round one, the Bucs have re-signed Chris Simms, Arizona needs a Left Tackle, the Vikings are more likely to go after Jeff Garcia, and so on and so forth.
