April 28, 2007 will go down as one of the worst days in Oakland Raiders history when they drafted JaMarcus Russell. Raider Nation jumped in joy when they selected JaMarcus Russell, big mistake.
Russell was selected in front of people like Calvin Johnson and even Adrian Peterson! He was in a contract dispute with the Raiders in 2007, which made him miss all of training camp. Russell did not start until late in the 2007 season for the Raiders.
Next year, JaMarcus started for the Raiders and got abused by opposing teams' defense. The offensive line for the Raiders was no help, they always are in the top 5 for most sacks allowed. Anyway, it wasn't a good year for JaMarcus Russell.
His third was even worse then the other ones. He lost his starting job to Bruce Gradkowski in the middle of the season. So, he sat on the bench for most of the season.
Then this upcoming year, hopefully won't be so bad for JaMarcus Russell, but it probably will be. He came to Raiders camp weighing in at 290 pounds! Obviously, JaMarcus Russell was one of the worst picks in NFL history.
