Because Quinn's has fallen...at least in my eyes.

Quinn's down now because of the Sugar Bowl performance combined with the fact that he spent most of the year as the consensus no. 1 pick. Theres little doubt in my mind that if the Raiders keep the first pick it will be Brady Quinn. Russell will go somewhere between 3 and 9 overall.

I can't see Russell dropping out of the top 5. Oakland, Cleveland, Tampa, and Detroit all need a QB. Cleveland (Frye), Tampa (Simms), and Detroit (Kitna) could all survive without a new QB, but my guess is that one of them will grab whichever QB Oakland doesn't take.

If Calvin Johnson goes to TB and Cleveland opts for Peterson, I could see it happening. I actually don't think Peterson is going to be that good at the pro level, but the Browns have certainly made worse decisions, thats for sure.
