That's right. By now you know the troubles JaMarcus Russell is having completing a pass, hanging on to the football, etc. As fate would have it, Gradkowski is the second string QB for the Raiders now. Now Al Davis doesn't know Grad like you guys do, so what say you? If they were to bring Gradkowski in tomorrow, would he be an improvement over Russell? Or would Al be better off taking over the quarterbacking himself?

But I'm not going analyze it. I'd rather hear what you all have to say about it. How do you think the Raiders have been doing in the draft? Especially considering all the flak the team takes in the press for their picks.
