Deranged Hermit

Not cool & Pissed
From his sources:

* Brady Quinn will be the first pick of the draft.

* SEVERAL teams trying to trade to number two. Doesn't expect the Lions to keep it.

* Does not think Adrian Peterson to Clev. is a lock.

* Not sure where Jamarcus Russell will land.

Nothing earth shattering here other than the Quinn news.

readers of jason, errr, Andy's Mock Draftover at NFLDraftGuys already knew Quinn was going #1 :clap:

 
If it's true, I don't see MIN or HOU taking long to get up there and take Russell. Maybe MIN might let the time run out and we can have a sprint to the commish. :clap:

I agreed with him than and I still do. I think Quinn can be very good in the NFL and he'll have some nice weapons if OAK keeps Moss.

You should preceed that with, "According to his agent, Russell's Pro Day workout..."
 
My thoughts from December haven't changed much. I know that Russell is a physical specimen, but Quinn isn't exactly chopped liver either. Due to the financial issues involved with the #1 overall pick, it makes the most sense to be a QB.

Why Brady Quinn will be #1

 
You should preceed that with, "According to his agent, Russell's Pro Day workout..."
Nah. According to everyone that watched.It was.
I don't think anyone doubts that Russell is a rare athlete at QB - perhaps one of the 5 or 10 best physical specimens we've ever seen at the position. What is in doubt is whether he has the makeup to really maximize that potential. I don't think an outstanding pro day workout will convince a team to take him as much as an outstanding interview will.

Jacket- what have you heard/read that made it jaw dropping? I have read little over than than he dropped 9 pounds and did the passing drills. Bloom, did you/Sean hear anything about how he presented himself?
 
Great passing, great footwork, great on the run, ridiculous arm strength, etc.

One of the best workouts in recent memory.

The kid is going to go #1, or at the very least be the first QB taken if Oakland is stupid enough to take a wideout first overall. I'm a betting man and I'll bet on this.

 
From GBN...

The big question for LSU QB Jamarcus Russell at Wednesday’s pro day in Baton Rouge was whether he was able to lose the spare tire he showed up with at the scouting combine. And while the overall verdict on Russell’s workout is still to be determined, Russell at least was back to 258 pounds, his normal playing weight. Working out in front of over 100 NFL personnel people, Russell also timed in the 4.80-4.85 range running the 40, the only physical test Russell took part in; Russell though did go through a full passing audition for the NFL people in the house. Indeed, Todd McShay is being quoted over at ESPN as saying "His passing session was the most impressive of all the pro days I've been to. His footwork for such a big quarterback was surprising. He was nimble in his dropbacks and when he's rolling out and throwing on the run. The ball just exploded off his hand.”

 
Do we need a reminder that not every QB with top physical skills becomes a quality starter? It wouldn't be sacrilege to pass on Russell.

The other news of the day that may change the big picture of things is the scuttlebutt that has the Randy Moss trade to GB being completed within the next 24-48 hours. That would land Aaron Rodgers in GB and would fuel speculation that Calvin Johnson would be the Raiders pick.

Do we need a reminder that such a statement goes for every position on the football field, including and perhaps especially WR?Russell's the #1 QB. It isn't even close.I hope, as a rival fan, that the Raiders fudge this one up, too.

It's especially true at QB. Word on the grapevine is that Russell's interviews at the combine didn't impress the Raiders brass. And while it's true that a guy doesn't have to be a rocket scientist to throw a football, it's also true that he won't be able to coast by on talent alone. If teams are concerned about his work ethic and his ability to become a leader then they have plenty of reason to justify passing on him. You act like he's a slam dunk. I don't think most observers share your sentiment.

its bad enough that I have to sit and watch Nomar Garciaparra's OCD stuff before and after every single pitch, now this? :sadbanana:

seriously Bloom, you're one of the best sources of quality info on this site, and to a lesser extent, so are the others like Lammey and Mr Shawshank Andy Dufresne..lets not cheapen it by turning yourself into a sell-out commercial for nfldraftguys.com.

BTW - if the NFL threatens to sue a church for using the term 'superbowl party' , imagine what they'll do to 'nfl'draftguys.com , once they find out your using their name on your site, without a license..

you are the ONLY internet football site that uses NFL in the site name...I'd worry more about changing that name, ASAP, than I would about shameless plugs..unless of course, you ponied up the mega $$ required to get an nfl license..( doubtful)

Other news regarding the draft:

1. From Charles Robinson of Yahoo sports

BATON ROUGE, La. – Where will JaMarcus Russell land? It's still too early to tell, but the trade whispers have started to circulate around the potential No. 1 pick in the draft. A prominent one has the Washington Redskins taking a keen interest.

According to a source with intimate knowledge of the situation, Redskins owner Dan Snyder has become enamored with the idea of drafting Russell, which has in turn fueled speculation Washington could be targeting Oakland's No. 1 pick in a trade scenario. The trade could involve Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell, the team's first-round pick in 2005, getting dealt to another team, or to the Raiders as part of a package to move up in the draft.

Russell has impressed the Raiders thus far, both with his skills set and his quiet-but-confident demeanor, which the team got to see over dinner at Ruffino's Italian Restaurant on Tuesday night in Baton Rouge. But coach Lane Kiffin insisted Wednesday Oakland was going to explore trading the No. 1 pick.

As it stands, Russell is set to take visits for personal workouts with Oakland, Washington, the Detroit Lions and Cleveland. If Washington were to be involved in a trade with the Raiders, a move to the top choice would likely cost the Redskins a healthy package of picks and possibly players. And it's worth noting Washington doesn't have a second-round pick this year to use for ammunition, having already dealt that choice away to the New York Jets (who sent the pick to the Chicago Bears as part of the Thomas Jones deal).

2. And this from PFT:
FINS FIXIN' TO MOVE UP?

Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports that the Dolphins might be bringing in quarterbacks JaMarcus Russell and Brady Quinn for pre-draft visits.

Though there's a chance (albeit slim) that Quinn will still be on the board when the Fins use the No. 9 overall pick, it's unlikely that Russell will fall that far.

Thus, Salguero suggests (and we agree) that Miami could be plotting a move up in round one.

There are rumors of talks between the Lions and other teams about the No. 2 overall pick, which Detroit currently owns. Indeed, we've caught wind of a trade that almost went down on Wednesday, which would have dropped Detroit deep into round one.

Under the trade value chart, the Fins would have to come up with 1,250 points in order to bridge the gap from No. 9 (which is worth 1,350 points) to No. 2 (which is worth 2,600 points). Alternatively, they'd be required to pony up an acceptable pack of players, possibly including quarterback Daunte Culpepper.

If healthy, Culpepper could be an intriguing fit in the Mike Martz offense. Some of Culpepper's best throws have come when he acts decisively in response to his first read. If Martz could get him to make quick decisions in a fast-paced offense, Culpepper might perform far better than when he stands in the pocket like a moose in the headlights.
3. Other outlets are confirming that the Randy Mosss/Aaron Rogers deal is very close to being consummated.My comments:

1. Why would the Skins trade Jason Campbell and multiple picks for Russell? Russell may be great, but it just puts the Skins back a few years again. I don't see Gibbs in this for the long haul, and to start over with a rookie QB who is still (despite his enormous talent) still probably a year away from starting is beyond me. And they would more then likely have to part with additional picks from the future.

2. There is no way Russell falls past Cleveland at 3. And no way CJ falls past TB at 4. THe Lions (Millen) hasn't fared well with top 10 picks. Thus, a move to 2 would seem to be a good spot for a trade. But I really don't see Russell as a Cam Cameron type QB -- that type of QB is Brady Quinn. I just can't see the Dolphins trading up for Russell.

3. THe Moss trade is initeresting. If this goes down, you would have to think that the #1 pick is either CJ to the Raiders OR a trade by Oakland out of the #1 spot. You would also have to think that Kiffen will not run a vertical offense like Davis prefers.

 
I find ridiculous the notion that if the Raiders get Aaron Rogers that it precludes them taking Quinn/Russell.

However, it does increase the likelihood of taking CJ.

 
I think Russell and QUinn are better then some of the QBs that have been drafted in the 1st round recently, but it amazes me there is so much talk of moving up going on when there was very little last year despite there being 3 quarterbacks that were clearly better then the top-2 guys this time around.

That makes no sense. Why would you make a trade to acquire a player with very little short term value and then acquire another player with very little short term value? I guess the Raiders could open the season with Russell/Quinn, Rodgers, and Walter on the roster. Their combined 18 games and 281 passes would certainly be very settling to their offense and their fans.

:angry: The Skins have one pick in the next 14 years and Campbell is emerging as a real NFL qb. If anything, they're trading down. They're hoping another team trades up for Russell and pushes down one of the players they're targeting.

Exactly. Additionally, to get rid of the baggage he brings.I may be contradicting myself a bit here as I'm obviously a Moss-hater, but if the trade is Rogers for Moss straight up, it's a coup for the Packers.

There's a reason some team might mortgage everything for Russell.
There have lots of teams that have mortgaged a whole lot to get a single player. How many of those have panned out?Hasn't worked out for AtlantaHasn't worked out for the G-MenIn fact, it surprises me that teams do mortgage so much to get a single player.
 
I'm not saying Russell will pan out and land in the Hall of Fame. I'm saying that, right now, he deserves all the hype, is the best QB prospect and should go #1.

Calvin Johnson might not end up as the best WR from this class. In fact, I'll take the field over Johnson 100 times out of 100. But there's absolutely no way in hell that anyone else deserves to be picked over him.

Wild, unsubstantiated guess: Philly trading up for Peterson.
 
There seems to be some confusion about whom was or was not impressed, by what, and when.

This was posted March 11 .

The formerly near-consensus #1 returns to the spot he played himself out of in the loss to L.S.U. Word is that the Raiders were none too impressed with Jamarcus Russell showing up out of shape at the combine. Can they afford a QB that doesn't take the biggest job interview he'll ever face seriously?
Then Russell had his pro day workout.This was posted March 15.

Pay no attention to this man, Bloom. Keep the pitches commin' I love it.

 
Question. Assuming Green Bay does trade Rodgers for Moss, where does that leave Green Bay QB wise in 2008, 2009? Wouldn't this trade just create a bigger hole and a bigger need for the team?

You mean again of course. They already re-did Westbrook's contract before the 2005 season and gave him an extension through 2010 worth $25M with bonuses of around $10M. No way do they trade up and give another RB big money on top of that, especially since Westbrook is a PERFECT fit for them.
