Oakland Raiders: Former first-round draft pick dies in Pennsylvania

When you ask any Oakland Raiders fan who the biggest draft bust in team history is, the answer you get will likely depend upon what year they were born. Different generations will have different viewpoints.

Though, given the money, talent, and expectations, it seems fair to slap the label, “biggest draft bust in franchise history,” squarely on the shoulders of one JaMarcus Russell.

Some might argue the point, but you can probably find some redeeming qualities and solid moments in other draft busts like Todd Marinovich and Robert Gallery.
