A league source tells us that the Raiders aren't talking only to quarterback JaMarcus Russell and receiver Calvin Johnson about a contract at the No. 1 slot in the draft.
Per the source, discussions are also being conducted with the representatives of quarterback Brady Quinn.
It's still unclear whether the Raiders are presently leaning toward any one of the three guys. One league insider believes that Quinn is in the mix solely for negotiating leverage. But the source also says that he wouldn't be shocked if the Raiders take Quinn instead of Russell.
"They're taking a quarterback," predicted the source.
We still think Johnson is the safest bet. But what the hell do we know?​

I wouldnt be surprise if the Raiders snag Quinn. Atleast we know Cameron was ale to develope a 2nd rounder in the past in Bress. BTW Beck reminds me alot of Brees.
 
I dont think that they will take Braddy Quinn if they take a Qb it would be Jamarcus Russel and if they dont take a Qb it would be Wr Calvin Johnson

Im guessing you meant a WR Calvin Johnson
 
This is getting more curiouser by the minute....is it Saturday yet? :confused:

I can't take much more of this. :shakeno:
 
This is the part of the draft I hate.

Houston played this stupid maneuver last year. That worked out WELL.

I understand the principal, but I also believe the process truly distorts the outcome.

At this point, if you are allowing the fact of who you CAN sign the easiest OR cheapest decide your #1 pick, then you truly don't have your team's best interest at heart. You're allowing the finances of the situation dictate the selection. If that's the case, fire your scouting department, subscribe to PFW, PFT, ESPN and any other website that will tell you who the top prospects are... and begin bargaining until you have the cheapest offer on the table.

Drafting is not about finances. Everyone has a rookie cap and everyone has to be salary cap solvent by draft day. The draft is about evaluating talent to build for the future.

At this point, you should know EXACTLY what you NEED and who you WANT to fill that need.

But, then again, there's a reason Oakland is picking first. May they get what they deserve and my sympathies for the poor soul about to be drafted #1.
 
If anyone is gonna bend their back and sign for less is Calvin Johnson. The kid very well he is likely not to go first and maybe fourth overall. My opinion Calvin Johnson agrees on a cheaper contract.
 
I hope they take Quinn and then we trade up to 2 to take Russell. Wow what a smokescreen that would have been.
