The Raiders are counting on JaMarcus Russell to help turn around their franchise.
 
 

Owning the No. 1 overall pick, the Raiders had a myriad of options. But in desperate need of a quarterback, Oakland chose JaMarcus Russell at the top of the draft, sending fellow QB prospect Brady Quinn into a slide that didn't end until the 22nd pick.
