Len Pasquarelli, of ESPN.com, reports there is a good chance the Oakland Raiders will draft Georgia Tech WR Calvin Johnson and not Louisiana State QB JaMarcus Russell.

Well, considering even the janitors at all 32 NFL franchises think Calvin Johnson is the "consensus" top player in the draft, Len's really reaching out on that tree limb there....
Cripes, I could predict that. Len = Ms. Cleo.

I think they still go with Russell. And Tampa Bay becomes potentially scary good w/ they trade down. Arizona will push to trade w/ Cleveland to guarantee themselves Joey T. Lions take Quinn at 4. Cleveland takes Peterson at 5.Comment

Ihave had this hunch for a while now, but I really think Oakland is going to take Calvin Johnson. I'm willing to bet that they are going to enter Contract negotiations with both CJ & Russell, and CJ is going to come out looking better money wise to them than Russell, and they'll make that deal (like Houston did last year). After that, it could be a crap shoot. Does Detroit really want Russell? I don't think as much as they would like Defense or Joe Thomas. Plus "word" is that Marinelli has become in love with Gaines Adams. Cleveland LOVES Russell. Things could go so many different ways even IF Oak takes Russell, but things will go so many other directions if they take CJ."I would love to have a guy that always gets the key hit, a pitcher that always makes his best pitch and a manager that can always make the right decision. The problem is getting him to put down his beer and come out of the stands and do those things." - Danny MurraughComment

I'll make a prediction...if...IF...Arizona trades up...they'll go after Adrian Peterson. But I don't know that they'd have to trade up to get him.Comment

Edgerin James is making $20 million in garunteed money the next 2 seasons...they are NOT drafting adrian Peterson. they've wanted Joe thomas. Their GM last year at like mid season said they want Joe Thomas.Originally posted by Brando19"I would love to have a guy that always gets the key hit, a pitcher that always makes his best pitch and a manager that can always make the right decision.

Thomas would be a dream come true in the desert.Pass Jessica's Law and keep the predators behind bars for 25 years minimum. Vote out liberal, SP judges. Enforce all immigrant laws!Comment

Do you think the Saints needed Reggie Bush last year? No...they had Deuce McAllister. However...Bush surprisingly didn't go number 1 and he fell to the number 2 spot. The Saints realized he was the best player so they took him. Do you think most teams have Thomas rated higher than Peterson on their draft board? I don't think the majority of the teams do. So let's be realistic...every team knows it's good to have two good RB's...the Cardinals would take Peterson over Thomas if it came down to it...in my opinion.Originally posted by ND72Comment

there is a big difference between REggie Bush, who can also play WR and return punts & kicks, and Adrian Peterson, who will only play RB. Cardinals will NOT take Peterson."I would love to have a guy that always gets the key hit, a pitcher that always makes his best pitch and a manager that can always make the right decision.

Adrian Peterson himself suggested that he could be drafted by the Arizona Cardinals. On Saturday evening he joined Evan Cohen on Fox Sports Radio and was asked… Adrian, if you had to give me two teams that you may play for — your gut feeling as to where you end up in the draft and those millions of dollars that you’re going to make would be riding on it, you tell me what two teams? "I would say Cleveland or Arizona. Arizona you think is a possibility even though Edgerrin James is there? Yeah, yeah, I think it’s a possibility."Comment

Agree with ND on this one. Peterson is not the same kind of weapon Bush is. AZ has too much money sunk into Edge and Leinart, and those guys need MAJOR help on the line. If AZ passes on JT for AD, they're even dumber than Al Davis or Millen.Comment
