Final NFL Mock Draft ‘07 - Complete Seven Round
x - won coin flip with Tampa * underclassmen
From Mobile Wonder to OHHHHHHHHHH Nellie
1 Oakland - * JaMarcus Russell - QB - LSU
The Raiders have not done many things right over the past five years. They need to get this right after another poor ’05 performance especially on the offensive side of the ball. Russell can be a difference maker at the NFL level. He gives this offense a player that can make all the throws with enormous physical talent. How early should he start will be critical in his development with a poor offensive line a key problem area in recent seasons. A possible signing of QB Daunte Culpepper would give him the time to develop without the pressure of starting immediately.

The NFL Combine ’07 Concludes -
Get Your Minds Right
The NFL Combine ’07 came to an end this week with 327 pro prospects who attended the event completing an extensive evaluation process. A few of the highest names QBs Brady Quinn and JaMarcus Russell opted not to run or throw at the event but most other highly regarded prospects did participate in most of the events. Quinn did lift and did a fine 24 reps @ 225 lbs. on the bench. Over the weekend, there were reports that his stock is falling which is typical media nonsense that gets publicized every year at this time. Quinn has never been out of the top five on our board and would never get out of the top ten selections on value and need alone for the April player selection meeting.
