The Raiders might be trying to apply some Moneyball approach. They'll take Swisher next.

Raiders must be trying to qualify for some type of federal bailout.

with raiders and Broncos.. no excuse for KC this year

 

[GroveDiesel]

73rd best safety on the board"he's probably out playing basketball right now and he gets a phone call"

Holy crap..this is funny

Can you imagine what this kid is thinking right now?"Yeah, ok, that's not funny guys. There's no way Al Davis is on the phone tonight. That's not even cool. Berman just said what? No, come on, there's no way they just took me in the second round. Stop messing around."

 

[TwinTurbo]

Raiders.

"I never heard of this guy until 3 weeks ago."Gruden trying not to laugh his ### off.

Nfl.com Tracker has no info on him... Was he in jail?

Wow....This is so BAD. He did not even get invited to the combine, but is worthy of a 2nd rounder from the Raiders...

Confirmed - NFL.com has no information on him.

I guess Al Davis must have read this article yesterday.

 

[Mighty Mice]

Nice pick for Seattle. Curry and Unger improve both sides.

Heywood-Bay and Mitchell. Yikes. Can't wait to see tomorrow's picks.

odd no other TEs have been drafted yet...good thing the lions stepped upi and grabbed one before other teams caught on!

if you think Pettigrew would have made it more than 5 picks longer than #20, you are doing it all very wrong.

just saying that there were more important things, imo... and that there are a few TEs this year.... agree Pettigrew is more than a solid TE, but I see that as more a finishing touch, maybe NE, or GB, than DET...more pressing.. but the earlier argument about OL, and Reciever, help in one, holds water..

I just think it's very obvious that Mayhew and Schwartz know that they aren't going to fix this thing in one year and are therefore taking BPA no matter the position, because they can upgrade everywhere. Which means they are taking a very reasoned approach to all of this and not hamstringing themselves by locking into a position rather than a player - unlike their predecessor who was obsessed with getting "weapons." They are instead getting players...and two or three drafts like this and they are an entirely different franchise.

Tight Ends were key in TEN where Schwarz is from

that's what I thought may be their thought.. many a good TE outta TEN over the last few

 

[MSULions]

Rich Eisen said he's a 7th round safety on Mayock's board

i don't feel so dumb now for saying aloud "who?!??!???!" when they announced it. And they traded UP to get him right?

 

[GroveDiesel]

Are we sure that Lane Kiffin isn't secretly intercepting this picks as they come in and substituting these "prank" picks?

I bet tomorrow they'll be in the 4th round and Al Davis will send up his pick while screaming "I can't believe nobody took Aaron Curry yet!!!"

By the 7th round, he'll be drafting kids that are playing nerf football out in front of his house.

 

[Reaper]

Kiper just guaranteed me Sanchez won't bust.

 

[JetMaxx]

First guy picked this early that I never heard of since Jon Harris was picked by the Eagles.

 

[PatsWillWin]

I LOVE THE RAIDERS

 

[QuizGuy66]

There goes Unger..

[MSULions]

cleveland takes another WR in the 2nd? huh...

 

[wildbill]

for the love of God the NFL should seize the Raiders

It's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen from the NFL draft. Ever.

They didn't even bother to get his height and weight

Nice pick for Seattle. Curry and Unger improve both sides.Heywood-Bay and Mitchell. Yikes. Can't wait to see tomorrow's picks.

Seattle's having a great draft. And not just this year!

 

[QuizGuy66]

So how many of you guys are going to sit by the phone all today tomorrow on the chance the Raiders pick you?

figured SD was a sure thing for division .. might be worth a futures wager

Definitely. Both Curry and Unger will be starters from Day 1.

 

[Christo]

Has somebody already commented on Jon Gruden's hair?WTF is going on? The front half of his head looks normal, then he's got a Donald Trump think going on in the back.

Did Gruden take a shower this morning?

 

[AnonymousBob]

I wish the Raiders had MORE draft picks. This is entertaining.

 

[David Dodds]

I think Michael Mitchell should hold out and wait for the players around him to slot his price....

Sure . . . Anyone who bet the Chargers to take the AFC-West before this draft is smiling.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Dallas has PASSED.

 

[HellToupee]

a PASS

 

[MSULions]

 

[QuizGuy66]

Dallas has PASSED.

okay that's the 3rd worst pick of the day after the Raiders...

 

[MSULions]

didn't want to pay someone 50th pick money!!

 

[noneother]

Dallas has PASSED.

now the BOSS in on camera

 

[AnonymousBob]

Good job, Dallas. Using the Tice strategy.

 

[HellToupee]

JJ is trying to one up Al

 

[RC94]

at DAL

 

[Steve Tasker]

Bills on the clock

Don't blow it

 

[Kleck]

This is great TV. You can't write a better script than what is happening today.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Gotta take Baker here I would think.

Knowing Brandon, he traded the rest of this year's draft and next year's first for Dallas's pick.

 

[JZilla]

Money Mike Mitchell is gonna destroy the NFL and make us all eat our words.

 

[Marc Levin]

I have now officially seen it all . . .

 

[Oof!]

at DAL

at you.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Bills on the clock Don't blow it

Levitre. They must feel pretty good about Walker, Chambers, Bell at OT. Now, they've made some big upgrades to the interior of the line with Wood and Levitre.

 

[AnonymousBob]

What are these teams doing????

 

[gorf]

So how many of you guys are going to sit by the phone all today tomorrow on the chance the Raiders pick you?-QG

 

[Marc Levin]

Was that a trade or did the Cowboys actually lose their pick?

 

[GroveDiesel]

Alright, taking the top guard in the draft here isn't too bad. I can live with that assuming they didn't give up too much to move up.

 

[3nOut]

Anyone know what the Bears got for their 2nd rounder? I've been waiting for this pick and they trade it away? I stepped away to put my kids to bed and missed the trade. Not one day one pick? I couldnt find the info on NFLs site. It better be good. For a second + something, they could have had Boldin. I'm surprised noone was able to pry Boldin away from ARI.

Levitre. They must feel pretty good about Walker, Chambers, Bell at OT. Now, they've made some big upgrades to the interior of the line with Wood and Levitre.

Yeah. I was hearing that Wood could play OG, but I think this pick settles that debate. They must not think too highly of Seth McKinney because it seems like Butler's spot in the lineup is solidified.

 

[Marc Levin]

Why would the 'boys trade all the way to day two - - voluntarily?

3rd and 4th.

Able to, I think - just not willing top pay the first round price. Though I have no clue WHY. AZ may have also figured that after the draft, they'd more easily be able to negotiate with Boldin

 

[Mighty Mice]

McCoy is a BEAST. Iggles going WR-RB on day one. Love it.
