Good call, vince... the Raiders did indeed take JaMarcus Russell #1 overall. Good pick, Raiders fans?

Great pick...unless he turns into the second coming of Aaron Brooks or Jeff George....

The Oakland Raiders drafted Jamarcus Russell, QB out of LSU with their first overall pick. He is the first QB to be chosen first overall by the Raiders in franchise history.

So, who loves the pick? Who doesn't think it was such a great idea? Russell likely won't be great off the bat, but who knows.

Aaron Brooks was decent in the beginning of his career.

I like Brooksie, but last year, as a Raider, was a nightmare
