The Raiders have the #1 pick in the draft, and everyone thinks they will take JR. However, Lane Kiffen however sounds optimistic about developing Andrew Walter. Porter and Moss are both returning so they wouldn't be taking a WR, and I doubt they would take Thomas after their experience with Gallery. Al Davis never trades downs either so I don't see that happening. I don't see them taking a defensive player either since they've done that for the last few years and now their D is set. Will they take Russel? What do people think?

The starting QB for 2007 will be JaMarcus Russell. Walters is worse then Brooks. The guy finished with a 55 passer rating. You could probably put some pads on Al Davis himself and he could throw better then that.
What it all boils down to is that JaMarcus Russell is a big physical QB out of a tough conference that can take hits and still throw the ball. With the awful O-Line the Raiders have they need someone who can take the hits and manage to still have some production. The kid can throw as accurate across the body, while moving out of the pocket as anyone.....so he'd be a perfect fit.

There is a pretty good chance that the Raiders will pick JaMarcus Russell, but Al Davis is known for surprising people. I do think the Raiders will draft Russell and pick up a veteran free-agent QB. Bottom line is the Raiders need a franchise QB and I don't think Walter fits that mold. We haven't had a franchise QB since Ken Stabler(1970-79), so it's time to get one. Basically, JaMarcus Russell is too good to pass up and if they don't pick him, as a fan, it will be devastating, it will take minutes to get over. I love being a Raider fan!

The raiders will take JaMarcus Russell with the first pick.. Whoever said that he hope that the raiders don't take JaMarcus Fatso is smoking with the bengals.. Who cares about quinn, you can't even put them in the same sentence.. Russell wins big games and Quinn dosen't show up in big games..
They would be dumb to take another O lineman with the first pick, because they need a QB that can get the ball to Moss and Porter

al davis is a showman. hes all about making money and puting butts in the seats. not only that but he really likes to throw the long ball. todays game is about scoring points and lots of them. jamarcus russel is gonna do that for him. he's got a cannon just like walter but his mobility is what makes him a better pick. imo walter begins the season as a starter and JR steps in after getting a better understanding of what an NFL defense looks like. wiht good coaching this guy could be a freak

Garcia will be the QB, or maybe Harrington. Sorry I think they pick up a "veteran" in either of them even if they want to develop Walters. Look at Peterson to be picked, talk of the town with the Combine. Either that or they likely go with a QB, just not sure which one. They probably should work on the offensive line but I don't think they will do it on the first pick.

I hope Al doesn't take JR(fatso)Russel. This guy has such a high opinion of himself that he comes to the combine overweight and out of shape. At least Quinn showed up in top physical condition. I think Al takes Joe Thomas or trades down and stocks up on 2nd tier O Linemen.

The answer to BOTH of your questions is JaMarcus Russell.
