What If? Feb 17

I always thought the weirdest drafting teams as of late have been the Titans and Jaguars.

When I was a kid it was the Chargers, Cardinals and Lions and between now and then it was the Seahawks, Titans and Raiders.

Raiders and Mike Mitchell might be the use case study

The Penix pick actually might well be a very good decision for the Falcons, it was their FA QB signing that wasn't.

Yeah, Mitchell was an odd oe.

Funny story. I had a Raider friend who was connected to the Raiders draft. He told me before the Raiders pick "We are taking Mike Mitchell", I was like yeah right... Whatever, this guy is full of it... I was in an AIM draft chat with a bunch of then KFFLERs. I told them.. "Watch this the Raiders will draft Mike Mitchell", keep in mind, Mitchell was not on most people's top 30 S's going into the draft, let alone a second rd pick. Low ad behold, Mitchell pops up as the current selection on the screen. The AIM KFFL chat was going crazy, how did I know that? . He made me famous. These guys still talk about it to this date...

You could pick a lot on the Raiders.

Mitchell, Ferrell, Arnett, Leatherwood, Heyward-Bey.

To me Alaualu is the wildest one of my time but the Raiders have the most. Arnett and Leatherwood really stand out to me. Two guys I don't think anyone should have sniffed until Round 3. One with character issue who played more like a 4th rd pick who was likely going Rd 3 based on post season stuff. Leatherwood had a ton of talent coming out but he played like a 5th rd pick in college.
