In Rizzo we trust

I know the pick is in, but it's funny how every time we're about to make a pick, ESPN goes to commercial.

Me and Dawkins seeing the same thing. Riley was right there with Penda & Wolf for me. I love the pick. 2 for 2 tonight!

Okay but... sigh. This draft didn't go as I expected. All good though, we didn't select Yang at 16.

Statistically Riley did nothing very well. I’m not enthused about the pick, but I haven’t done my due diligence.

I guess we will be waiting until FRI to hear from Dawkins.

It'd be nice if they catch up to the trade 18-21
on the TV coverage.

A little high but he's so skilled I think he could certainly turn out to be worth it.

I am ok with it. Riley looked good when I watched him and was apparently killing it in workouts.

We sure have a lot of skinny guys.

He is actually a lot like Keyshawn George. I don’t know if he will have George’s great footwork defensively though.
