Mark Davis: Raiders had first pick before, didn't work out

After a turbulent two decades since Super Bowl XXXVII, the Las Vegas Raiders are back at No. 1 overall, but owner Mark Davis is cautious about the pressure. He noted that despite the excitement of controlling the draft, the franchise has failed to capitalize on the top pick before, specifically citing JaMarcus Russell's 7-18 record. Davis emphasized that Fernando Mendoza and the new additions need to prove they can end the team's 17-year playoff drought, as the top selection is no guarantee of success.
