First Pick

Books:

At the first voluntary minicamp under new coach Lane Kiffin, Andrew Walter looked nothing like the quarterback who absorbed 46 sacks and turned the ball over 22 times in eight games as a starter for the Raiders in 2006. Rather than drop back and wait for a receiver to come free, Walter was on the move, looking for targets. Kiffin's offense is rounding into shape, but at first glance it looks a lot like the one Jon Gruden installed in 1998.

Heroes:

Trade 1st pick for more lower picks, 1st round offense players want too much money, hold out, sign at the end of pre-season, and expect to start in september without goin to camp, practices or team meetings.... get somebody who is hungry
