What are yours?

Mine:

- The Raiders picking that safety who I couldn't even find in my draft mags.

-Jerry Jones' presser after the draft which made no sense, and even better the shots of their "war room" with Wadie poo just standing around while some dude was on the phone.

-The funny lens shots of the crew at NFLTA. They had Gruden make his Chucky face while they blew his head up to epic proportions and the crew called him Beavis. Hehe.

-Scott Hanson telling Gruden after the Bucs picked Freeman, "I guess even though you aren't there anymore they still stockpile QBs". lulz.

I didn't watch NFLN's broadcast today, but I wish I would have. ESPN sucks more everyday. I'll be watching NFLN tomorrow.

BTW, to add to your LOL Fireball... check this video from the Raiders' website: Click on the video "Coach Cable Discusses Mitchell"

Sounds like the Raiders scripted that interview with their own interns... lol. They said they were scared he was going to be gone before they picked him... too bad no one knew who he was. He then goes on to compare him to Ronnie Lott and Jack Tatum. good one Al Davis!

Yep, Jerry Jones trying to explain he was smarter than everyone else was a classic.

The Raiders added Ohio University safety Michael Mitchell with a second-round pick they acquired from the New England Patriots, along with two second-day picks, in exchange for their own second-round pick.

"When you see some highlights of this guy, you're going to see a guy that has that Ronnie Lott, that Jack Tatum mentality," Cable said. "He literally

knocks people out. It allows you know to get back to Raider style of football, which is really the reason I wanted this guy so bad."

Mitchell, 6-foot and 220 pounds, said he has a penchant for getting people's attention on the football field.

"My dad and I would watch old films of Jack Tatum and Ronnie Lott, and he'd say, 'That's how you play football,'" Mitchell said in a conference call. "So, from a young age, I knew it was about hitting and being physical. I definitely model myself after those two individuals. I like to impose myself on other people."

Mitchell prefers to knock out opposing players. The Raiders plain knocked it out of the park Saturday, based on their expectations coming in, Cable said.

"We got both of the guys that we targeted," Cable said

awesome. that's the only word to describe this.

Josh Freeman says the Bucs told him their signing of Byron Leftwich before the draft was a "smokescreen."

"They told me it was a smokescreen, everybody would think they didn’t want a QB," Freeman said. "They said they were ready to trade up. It worked out great." The Bucs didn't guarantee any part of Leftwich's contract and can cut him with no cap hit. Leftwich may not even want to be in Tampa anymore.

      TE group

      What you are saying isn't always true and I'll give you several examples to demonstrate this. 1) The best player on the board at the end of in round 1 by all consensus is RB (top 15 player in draft who slips b/c of the devaluation of the RB position). Your team is in desperate need of a LT because the current one is getting your QB killed. You already have a serviceable RB in place. The LT has a 2nd round grade and you have the first pick on day 2 of the draft Who do you choose? 2) Your run defense was abysmal the previous season. A DT in round 2 does not provide much in terms of pass rush, but most reports have him rated as the best pure run stuffing DT in the draft. The two highest rated players on your board at the time are a TE and tweener at OLB/DE who slipped into round 2 after a run on WR's. Who do you choose? 3) Your pass rush rush is solid across the board. You even have guy coming off of the bench to provide production. Your secondary in below average. No Safety on the roster is a difference maker and as a unit the squad doesn't have an INT. The highest rated player on the board is a DE. The 5th highest rated player on the board is a an intelligent ball hawking Safety. Which player would make the team immediately better?  1) I think the BPA logic applies when your team is solid across the board and you can afford to draft for depth 2) I think it also applies when your team stinks and any solid player will be an immediate upgrade over what you already have. I agree that you should NEVER reach for a player when you are need at a position like we did for Bryce Young. But I also think if there's is a player on the board that will fill a glaring weakness you need to take him even if a player with a higher over all ranking is available at another position (which isn't a need)

      Bryce Young excels at dividing Panthers fans. That seems to be what he's best at.
