I liked that he was drinking a martini, as well. I only wonder if it was gin or vodka. Unfortunately the citrus says it was vodka.

That guy can drink fruity cocktails for all I care as long as he keeps churning out successful drafts.

So true. I have not been able to find any Blanton's for my own personal consumption. But I travel a lot and have been spending time in Connecticut, where Maggie McFly's restaurant keeps the Blanton's in stock.

Episode 3: You Don't Want to Be Cluttered on Draft Day

Some interesting stuff in this one. The Colts only have about 170 guys on their board even though over over 250 guys get taken in the draft. That tells me they do a lot of winnowing down of the prospect list based on character and player attributes/scheme fit.

Patriots use a similar process.. they find out who 75-100 that are willing to cheat to win and that makes up their draft board.

Rapoport:
Sources: #Raiders coach Jon Gruden and GM Mike Mayock sent their scouts home for the weekend and they are not expected to return by draft time. The belief is they don’t know who to trust and wanted to clear the room.
That's a striking difference vs how the Colts conduct business. I bet we see footage in this series in a couple weeks with the actual area scouts who worked the ground scouting the new draft picks. If I were in scouting, I know which organization I would prefer to work for.

Wow, the Raiders organization is a raging dumpster fire. It doesn't seem likely that they get much value out of all that draft capital.
