Most of the guys taken in the top ten aren't going to be stars in the league. I'm just making a guess based on a few things I've heard:- Detroit covets Adams- Detroit wants to trade down- Lots of teams are interested in Calvin Johnson- Detroit likes EdwardsGaines Adams is not going to be a star in this league.Adams is a good pass rusher, but gets pushed around on the run.Detroit will move back to 4, take Gaines Adams, and then use their leverage to dip back into the late first and take Trent Edwards. Or maybe not.

He's always been down to earth. That's one of the big plusses about this guy. Not much fazes him. He'll do well (eventually) with the Raiders. That are very fortunate to get this guy.
Looks like L.S.U. will put 3 players in the top ten picks, very impressive for them. How many of their players overall should go overall?

Russell facing Bailey and Bly twice should get interesting

I don't think the physical talent has too many questions. He looks to have pretty much the full package. My question about him is can he be a leader that can handle being the face of the franchise both on and off the field. There's a lot of responsibility being the #1 pick in the draft (especially at QB). Too me the answer to that (and I obviously don't know the answer) will determine if he's a franchise-level QB or just a physical tease.
A big part of Russell's future will be determined by the current Raider Oakland coaching staff. No one knows what to expect out of Kiffin be it good or bad because there's not a lot to judge him by. If it's a worst-case scenario and he's not ready to be an NFL Coach that could really hinder Russell's development. I think how the whole Oakland situation unfolds this year will have a big impact (be it good or bad) on Russell.

Especially if we don't know if we can protect him. Throw Andrew Walter to the wolves, and if we can put a line together, give Russell some PT later in the year. Maybe just a few series, I'd love to see them ease him in.At least 10 games, but I'd prefer he sit 1 year too.

The reason I say a full year is because having an entire offseason as the starter (you only get 1/2 of an offseason after the draft) is huge. Jason Campbell has said that the number of reps he's gotten this offseason as the undisputed starter has been dramatic in terms of his ability mesh with the WR's and really master the offense. With only very rare exceptions such as elite students of the game like Manning, or guys who are simply winners like Vince Young, I don't think the reps are worth it that first year. You can learn by sitting and watching and attending meetings the first year.
Congrats MassRaider, you got your guy. Do you already have a Jersey on a Fed-ex plane? I sure hope your right about this guy, or we have another tough 5-10 years ahead of us.Especially if we don't know if we can protect him.
