#12: JaMarcus Russell pick
The Oakland Raiders selected JaMarcus Russell first overall in 2007, and at the time, the attraction was clear. He had a huge frame, a powerful arm, and a Sugar Bowl performance for LSU that made some scouts dream of a franchise quarterback who could throw the ball through winter wind and tight coverage. The cautionary tale came later. Russell held out as a rookie, struggled with consistency and preparation, and was out of the league after only a short run.
