Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

JaMarcus Russell is eligible!

JaMarcus Russell is ours for the taking!

Russell, a 6-foot-6, 260-pounder from Mobile, Ala., was the nation's No. 3-ranked quarterback in passing efficiency this season. He threw for a career-high 332 yards and two touchdowns in the Tigers' 41-14 victory over Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl on Wednesday night.

Russell will finish his LSU career with 6,525 yards and 52 touchdowns in three seasons -- two as a full-time starter.

Thing is... should we trade down possibly? Or should we just stay safe and pick up Russell with the first overall pick?

I like the way you think...
Trade down for Russell or pick him right from the beginning are the only two options as far as I'm concerned, too. This doesn't solve the problem at running back, but I think Russell's too unique to pass on.

Draft Russell!!!
His interception rate and lack of running yards do scare me a bit. Also his penchant for getting sacked.

His value is WAY higher than anyone else's at this point and could net us some serious talent.

I am thinking that we trade him to the Texans for Carr and thier number 1.

Then we could get Carr and Marshawn!!! Well, I can dream can't I?

Pride And Poise!!!
