Raiders got us by the balls

domino effect, bowe won't sign until he sees what quinn is making, quinn won't sign until he sees what russell is making

The Raidurrs don't have anyone by anything. They suck.

The Raiders have to fork up tens of millions to an unproven rookie.

The Chiefs will likely be paying a promising first-rate rookie a mere 1 or 2 million a year for five years.

Are you saying you wouldn't want the #1 pick?

Nah. Calvin Johnson > Dwayne Bowe. I would have taken that pick in a heartbeat (assuming a Genie gave me the ability to make it happen).

But there is at least a couple perspectives for every situation. Adjusting yourself to a reasonably positive one is far from the worse thing you could do.

I would love to have the number 1 pick. I have zero interest in JaMima Russell though.

Ah ok....just checking awhile back there was a guy on here actually arguing that he doesn't want top 5 picks cause they cost to much money.....

I was stunned by the stupidity.

See, in an effort to maximize the insulting potential of the star rookie of a hated rival, I've decided to make every syllable in his name an insult.

Tell me if you like it. He shall go by the name "JaFartCuss PussHell."

It's trademarked, so you are legally precluded from using it for profit.

Oh yeah hey lookit this.... Russell's agents don't wanna sign until they see what the #2 pick is getting. This is the first time they've represented a #1 and they don't want to end up getting leapfrogged by the deal that the #2 gets. That would be the last time their firm represents a #1 pick. We're all waiting on Calvin Johnson.

But certainly you can admit that having to sign a top 5 pick, one that has a chance of becoming a bust, can unduly burden a bottom 5 team that's already pretty loaded down with problems -- and often does. It might be one of the reasons we see the same handful of teams who occupy the cellar continue to occupy the cellar. One bust in the top 5 can drain you of guaranteed money for five years.

I still wouldn't turn it down, but there's an assortment of reasonable perspectives for everything.
