I just love our draft class overall. I know I sound like a broken record on some of my posts, but the energy and composure of this draft class overall is just awesome.

Fun point they brought up in this presser is that Nick was the only player last year that was able to run down Jalen during a game. That is some amazing speed!

I am encouraged by the fact that Emmanwori was a top target of our staff and they did what they had to do to insure they got their guy. THAT is where value lies, not in a bunch of hogwash from outsiders, wannabes, fans, etcetera. It was a team effort and we will see if it was correct, but so far it looks like a great success.

Emmanwori had better become a mega star, as trading up, grabbing him just when Pete was ready to draft him. This act could be the last straw between ole Pete and Schneider. The Raiders traded down after Emmanori was drafted.

Guys don't always drop out of round 1 because they aren't round 1 quality

There can be a run on Tackles, for example, which push a player at a different position.....regarded to be a 20's value to the 30's for example

So yes, what I said in fact could (and often is) correct
Yeah a lot of first round picks go on guys who probably aren’t first rounders

That’s crazy. I wonder if Pete talked about emmanwori on the plane

That was my inference, or I made it up, based on chronological events on day 2. I am quite sure that Pete and our guys talked shop on the plane. What else could they talk for an hour with Pete standing the whole time? But quite sure it was mostly Geno and not drafts.
