the Bobby Steele

1. Oakland - Calvin Johnson - I think oakland wants to make some strong strides towards a veteran QB like Josh McCown. McCown fits oaklands offense because he’s mobile in the pocket and he has a strong arm for downfield throws. Perfect for receivers like Moss and CJ.

2. Detroit - Joe Thomas - According to John Clayton of ESPN Detroit is NOT interested in Quinn. So I assume that they will take Thomas. They are also not thrilled about taking the 2nd overall pick. The Lions do not have alot of picks in this years draft, and most likely they will look to trade down.

Even though in my previous post I wrote that ”tha radahs” would not take Russell in the first round. I have decided to play it safe. Since the deal with Moss and Green Bay isnt progressing, the Raiders will most likely fill their weakness at QB. 

1. Raiders - JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU: I’m not so sure this will be the route they take. It seems like Calvin Johnson is on their radar and is, in my opinion, the top player in the 2007 draft. But until they unload Randy Moss or Jerry Porter, I don’t think it’s likely they take Johnson #1. So, for now, Russell is probably their guy.

With all of the hype surrounding QB JaMarcus Russell, It is apparent that the Raiders are currently making moves away from drafting the Louisiana State quarterback. Any team would benefit with just the physical skills of Russell alone, however the raiders are most likely looking for someone with game breaking abilities. Yesterday the Oakland Raiders attended the personal workout of Georgia Tech WR Calvin Johnson. Johnson has the size, speed, and game-breaking that the Raiders are looking for.

As of this writing I am very excited about what Cam Cameron has been doing with the team so far. I’m excited that he decided not to hire an offensive coordinator, and that he will be calling the plays himself. I’m excited that he scraped off all of our mediocre players with high salaries.

Cam went ahead and signed Free Agent Joey Porter to add to an already impressive defense. I know I’ve already mentioned this, but I am very excited about the possibilities with the new dolphins team.

Yesterday I just heard that the dolphins are interested in speaking with Brady Quinn and JaMarcus Russell.
