the    sides

For the first time in a long time Chief fans have a lot to look forward to. They had a great draft. They are still going to be horrible next year…but they’re going to be good soon.

Raiders - any question as to who is making decisions in Oakland? It’s not Lane Kiffin. McFadden is a beast and if he can stay out of trouble, the AFC West will become the division no defense wants to play - LT, LJ or DMac. But clearly the Greatness is still run by Mr. Davis.

My Broncs - solid draft so far. Love the Ryan Clady pick. He’s a beast and he’ll do fine.

Eddie Royal over DeSean Jackson….hmmm. Could be Shanny trying to be the genius. But…with all the character issues that the Broncs have had the last few years, there was no way he was going to risk DeSean over Eddie when talent-wise there wasn’t that much difference. Royal is a mature, solid, stable, fast punt returner. It might have been too early to pick him but Denver didn’t have any 3rd round picks.

I made a big draft day mistake. I recorded NFL Networks coverage of the draft, not ESPN’s. My thinking was - NFL Network is owned by the NFL so they will have the inside scoop.

My thinking was wrong. Plus - there is no one better than Boomer on draft day. Big mistake on my part, I switched over in the middle of the 2nd round. Besides that, NFL Network wasn’t in HD. Overall, a horrendous choice by me. Stick with ESPN on draft day.
