Raiders' Lane Kiffin on JaMarcus Russell

After the Oakland Raiders selected JaMarcus Russell with the number one overall selection in the 2007 NFL Draft, head coach Lane Kiffin talked about the pick and why it was clear Russell would be the choice, the Randy Moss trade talks and more...

Kiffin gave 12 minutes of audio on the selection of quarterback JaMarcus Russell. Some of the highlights are included below, including the fact that no team came close to trading up for the Raiders pick, and the full audio is enclosed below:

"He can help us win games."

"It became a no-brainer...a guy that wins...he is a winner. He is dedicated." "He is a by example guy. They all follow him."

"We know JaMarcus better than anyone (who) gives criticism."
