NFL Draft
Pick #1
The Oakland Raiders select QB JaMarcus Russell of LSU.
Russell will be a bust, at least initially. He will be forced to start for the Raiders immediately in a brutal AFC West, for a team with a suspect offensive line and receivers who lack any desire to play in Oakland.
His upside in unmistakeable, physically he's amazing, in the right system he could thrive, but being forced to start for the worst team in football may ruin him. I hope not, but it looks like it's going to happen.
