Whew - the draft is (finally) over
The NFL Draft is over. I spent more than 23 hours at Raiders headquarters this weekend and learned the television networks sure know how to drag out an already long process.
TV analysts and Web sites are grading the draft with Raiders getting anywhere from an 'A' to a 'C+' in the few I looked at. Of course, these grades are usually off because many national analysts don't have the perspective to understand what picks mean to a team other than a chart assessing needs in the generic sense.
I gave the Raiders an 'A' both days. Here's to hoping they don't make me look silly (weren't the likes of Teyo Johnson and Robert Gallery supposed to be a great pick?) Now for your questions about the draft, Randy Moss and anything else Raiders-related.
