Perhaps the Russell pick is the bigger bust. The Raiders had the number one pick and had a choice of any player. The Chargers had the number two pick and Manning was already gone. Now if the Chargers had the number one pick and still went with Leaf, well that would be the biggest bust for sure.Originally Posted by Scott Merryfield
When you consider who the Raiders passed on to draft Russell -- Calvin Johnson, Joe Thomas and Adrian Peterson -- he may be a bigger bust than Leaf. The Chargers passed on Andre Wadsworth, Charles Woodson, Curtis Enis, Grant Winstrom, Kyle Turley and Greg Ellis. Woodson was the best of that lot. Fred Taylor did go at #9 overall.
