Sad to hear that, Jason Campbell had a promising career ahead of him. RIP.

Not funny, but funny

Actually good for Campbell to get out of DC at this stage. It's obvious they blame him for their recent poor years, which is harsh.

I think he could be a good pocket passer.

Of course, whether he will be a good pocket passer in Oakland is moot at this point, but at least it's not DC.

Does the JaMarcus Russell admission by the Raiders take Ryan Leaf's worst draft pick ever title away?

Does the JaMarcus Russell admission by the Raiders take Ryan Leaf's worst draft pick ever title away?

...and taken in conjunction with a reasonably solid, sensible draft- is this evidence that Al Davis is no longer alive?

The Raiders could maybe try and turn Russell into an O lineman or Defensive Tackle.

He's certainly fat enough for it.

im delighted for Jason Campbell,i think he has the ability to be  a pro bowl QB with the right supporting cast.
hopefully Cable will give him that in Oakland.
Lamar Houstan and McClain are very good draft picks for the raiders considering what they have done in the past.

Jamarcus Russell is up to 300lbs now - he's massive!!

According to Adam Schefter the Raiders are preparing to cut Russell thus taking over from Ryan Leaf as the biggest bust of all time.

The Vikings have had a disastrous draft. Chris Cook corner back and Toby Gerhart running back with their first second and third pick. I am well and truly sickened. The Ravens had less picks going in and ended up with Sergio Kindle and Terrence Cody. What a mess.

Brilliant draft from the queens, not only do they draft the wrong players for the wrong positions but they managed to get worse instead of better simply by not picking the best available player.

Still, they are not so far removed from not getting their pick to the podium on time, I mean what sort of mickey mouse organization is it that cant even get their pick in on time. 

How does Farve taste now viking fans? the man is a prima donna and the Packers absolutely did the right thing.

Nice draft pack by the way.

that botched draft pick turned into future hall of famer defensive tackle Kevin Williams. Favre statistically has his best season ever for us last year and the Vikings front office after a number of poor years in the first half of the 90s is one of the best at drafting in the NFL, so we will have to wait and see how this years picks turn out.

Capt, the vikings had a team capable of winning it all last year, they had everything except a quarterback that could be relied upon not to make it about him, they had the superbowl champions beaten, all he had t do was to fall forward and Longwell would have been in range, not the aul gunslinger though, nah he makes it about him, throws a ball across his body and gets picked and ruins yet another season for yet another team. Karma baby after what he did t the jets, he is a scabby hoor and this year the packers will hand him his ass, I am not even a pack fan and I cant wait for him to go toe to toe with rogers, rogers and the pack will eat him alive.

rogers and the pack will eat him alive

no chance
