JaMarcus Russell, Calvin Johnson – Get your draft primer here!

Adrian Peterson says – My healing powers are amazing! No really.

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.

So you want to gaze into the crystal ball?

If only you could look ahead to this Saturday and see the draft?

Don’t worry my friend. Your intrepid author has your draft primer right here.

Pat Kirwan of NFL.com has been updating his Mock draft each week.

That is nice and we will look at it, but the Squibster is going to make things easy on you and break the top picks down.

Kirwan
Oakland – JaMarcus Russell

1. Oakland: JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU — The longer you watch him on tape, the more he is the right pick for the Raiders. He is a rare athlete with a great arm and all the throws. He can make the line calls, escape pressure, and end the run of passing on quarterbacks — which includes Philip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Leinart and Jay Cutler. The plan sounds like getting a veteran like Josh McCown to start off the season and let Russell learn from the sideline for a year. The Raiders still have to fix their offensive line, and there’s no reason to put Russell on the field until the supporting cast is in place. source

Oakland – JaMarcus Russell

Because they have to. Very little game experience. The game where he supposedly showed he was better than Brady Quinn was his best game.

Detroit – Gaines Adams

Trades pick to Tampa and then take Gaines Adams

Because they are not smart enough to take a QB for the future and are prevented by Matt Millen’s psychiatrist from taking another receiver.

Cleveland – Brady Quinn

Because Charlie Frye. Who? Yeah, that is their current QB. Quinn has to be better.

Kirwan
Tampa Bay – Calvin Johnson

4. Tampa Bay: Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech — The Bucs should be so lucky that a player like Calvin Johnson falls to them. If Calvin is the top-rated player on most draft boards, then sitting still might not be the best plan, especially if the Falcons jump up to take him. Not only would the Bucs miss out on him, but they would have to defend against him twice a season. If that were to happen, then the Bucs would take Gaines Adams to (eventually) replace Simeon Rice.

Tampa Bay – Calvin Johnson

Because they have two quarterbacks in Simms and Garcia and will be throwing two footballs and Joey Galloway can’t catch them both.

Arizona – Joe Thomas

Arizona – Joe Thomas

Because Edgerrin James complained to the General Manager that he can run if there was actually someone blocking in front of him.

Kirwan
Washington – Amobi Okoye

6. Washington: Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville — The Redskins need to move down and get at least a second-round pick, but if they stay put, then Amobi Okoye would add some life to the defensive line. Okoye’s skills have been compared to Warren Sapp’s. He has great first-step quickness and excellent balance. Throw in the fact he’s 19 years old and there is a lot to be excited about with this pick.

Squibster
Washington – trades down

Because they do not even like to draft. They like to trade.

Kirwan
Minnesota – Adrian Peterson

Minnesota – Adrian Peterson

Because Peterson was hurt all the time and his style of running will lead to more injury, by running upright, but they never quite got over Herschel Walker.

There you have it! It is easy.

So let’s just let Kirwan take over from here and we will rest until out big day on Saturday!
