New York, NY - Shockingly, as this blogger was waiting to interview Arizona and now New England Patriots Tight End Rod Gradkowski in the Radio City Music Hall Media Interview Room, The Carolina Panthers selected Notre Dame Quarterback Jimmy Clausen, thus ending one of the longest falls of a quarterback who should have been one of the top 10 picks in the 2010 NFL Draft. In fact, the only person with a deeper fall is Texas Quarterback Colt McCoy, who's still here in the hall in the green room (presumably).
The other highlights of NFL Draft Day Two thus far:
1) The draft of USC Safety Taylor Mays to the San Francisco 49ers, giving the Niners the second coming of Ronnie Lott and a person who's every bit the complement to Linebacker Patrick Willis on the San Francisco Defense. Taylor Mays is the perfect player to stop the legion of super-fast halfbacks like Reggie Bush and Chris Johnson of the Titants, who gave the Niners fits last year.
2) The Baltimore Ravens are building a scary defense, even after trading out of the 1st round of the NFL Draft. The Ravens were able to get Texas' highly-ranked linebacker Sergio Kendle and Alabama Defensive Tackle Terrance Cody, in effect getting first round level talent in the second round. I think they call it stealing.
3) Someone in the interview room asked if Oakland Raiders Manager of the General Partner Al Davis was sleeping because the Raiders have an excellent draft. The Raiders started in the 1st round by selecting linebacker Rolando McClain, then in the 2nd round added Defensive Tackle Lamarr Houston, and then in the 3rd round just added Jared Veldheer from tiny Hillsdale College at Offensive Tackle. A basic draft that frankly will not cost the Raiders a lot of money.
4) Colt McCoy's still waiting...
Rock the Casbah!
I think you mean Arizona Tight End Rob Gronkowski, not Linebacker Rod Gradkowski.
ReplyDeleteI did. Especially since I video interviewed the guy. I know I've been sitting here too long!
