DONE DEAL: We're hearing fourth-round pick in 2012 for Jason Campbell. Also, he's talked with Al Davis and a year was added to his deal, through 2011. No word yet on if JaMarcus Russell gets a chance to compete against Campbell or gets his walking papers.

UPDATE: It's 10 a.m. and Oakland is in serious talks with Washington about trading for quarterback Jason Campbell -- maybe for a sixth-rouond pick or a combination of picks. Does this signal the end for JaMarcus Russell, or a spirited quarterback competition at training camp?
The Raiders selected Maryland offensive tackle Bruce Campbell in the fourth round Saturday morning. He was the combine superstar who many experts had Oakland taking with the eighth pick in the first round.
Campbell, 6-foot-5 and 310 pounds, ran a 4.78 40-yard dash and has the longest arms (36 1/4 inches) of any player in the entire draft. Of all the tackles in the draft, he and third-round pick Jared Veldheer were the most athletic and physically imposing. Whether either can drive NFL defenders remains to be seen.

Campbell went 106th and two picks later, the Raiders traded up to draft Clemson receiver Jacoby Ford. The price tag was one of their fifth-round picks and starting middle linebacker Kirk Morrison. Morrison lost his job Thursday night when Oakland drafted Rolando McClain in the first round.
Morrison, I hear, was a class act who had led the team in tackles the last five years -- though most of those were eight yards down the field. A third-round pick from San Diego State in 2005, Morrison has started 79 of 80 games in five seasons. He has 621 tackles, six forced fumbles and five sacks.
Ford, the NCAA 60-meters indooor champ last year, gives Al Davis his speed fix. He didn't become a full-time starter until his senior season.
