First round first pick if I was drafting...

Definitely a first rounder, most likely a top 10 pick, possibly even #1 overall.

Made a believer ot of me when he out played Quinn...

Well, Quinn was facing a much tougher defense in that game than Russell was. JaMarcus has had his fair share of poor games against tough defensive teams as well, so we shouldn't overhype him too much. He's a physically talented kid but he's got a lot to learn about being an NFL QB, I think. Not sure he should be a first-year starter.
