With the first pick in the 2007 Draft, the Raiders selected JaMarcus Russell. Russell is a 6-5 quarterback out of LSU who has been touted as a one of a kind arm. "I kind of had faith in it. Everybody had been talking about it for a while," Russell said of being chosen first. "It's a dream come true. Growing up as a kid playing every sport in life and always seeing the guys on the professional level, and here I am today." "I can't wait to get in the black and silver and get to work."
