You and I would've taken Derwin and Slater.
They were as obvious a pick as you'll ever see.
Credit to Telesco, I guess, for not overthinking it. But both of those guys were CLEARLY the best guys on the board when they went off. [Reply]

Agreed, but I would have been ITCHING to move up for both. Telesco, IIRC, didn't for either. He played his hands masterfully for two incredible players at positions of need.
Hell, with SD/LA, it goes even further back than that, well before Telesco. Year after year, I remember SD taking a player I really liked, seemingly, right before KC drafted and we got stuck with the leftovers. Think: what WE did to Buf vis-a-vis McDuffie/Elam. It seems like it happened time after time, but the one I recall most vividly was Olshansky going right ahead of KC's pick and our need for a DT/DE. Who'd we get? Junior ****ing Siavii. **** is etched into my brain, so I'm a bit biased, I suppose.
Who'd you rather have? Ryan Simms or Quinten Jammer? Bernard Pollard or Marcus McNeil? [Reply]
An NFC executive told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler that Russell Wilson could be traded to the Raiders this offseason.
There’s almost no chance Wilson returns to the Broncos for a third season under center after head coach Sean Payton benched the one-time superstar QB in Week 17. The NFC executive pointed out that the Raiders were among the team’s on Wilson’s 2021 wishlist when it was clear his time in Seattle was over. The Raiders, under new head coach Antonio Pierce, will need to upgrade at quarterback this offseason after Aidan O’Connell struggled mightily as the team’s starter in the season’s second half. Wilson, who had the league’s third best completion rate over expected in 2023, would certainly be an upgrade for Davante Adams. [Reply]
The #Raiders interviewed former #Browns head coach Hue Jackson for an offensive staff position, per source. Jackson has a long history with Marvin Lewis, who's set to join the Vegas staff. [Reply]
