NFL Draft musings

* Nice to see that both Stanford day-one draftees will be staying in the Bay Area. I think the Raiders made a mistake in taking Teyo so high (I'm sure they could have traded down and still gotten him) but at least he'll have some time to develop. Because after all, Teyo was recruited to Stanford as a QB and has only been playing WR for two years of his life. At least he'll be able to learn from two Hall-of-Famers.

* I'm satisfied but not thrilled with the 49ers picks. If Kwame Harris gets some good coaching he could be very solid because he's so huge. But I wish the Niners used the first-round pick on our two most pressing needs: defensive end or wide receiver. Hopefully our second and third picks will shore up the subpar defensive line. And please Niners, take a chance on a WR in the fourth round like Kareem Kelly, Mike Bush or Justin Gage.

* I think Willis McGahee's agent would make an excellent used car salesman. I mean, two weeks ago people were talking about McGahee going in the 3rd round. But his agent somehow got the buzz going, made all these optimistic promises about his health, raised his media profile tremendously and got him drafted at 23. I think the Bills may have got swept up in the hype and picked a guy they really don't need. Your first round draft pick shouldn't be a player who'll be third on your depth chart (let alone sit on the DL for most of the year).

* Those EA Sports commercials with Ray Lewis are awesome. The one where he brings Terrell Suggs his sacks of laundry is especially hilarious. And I wish my voice sounded like that badass EA Sports narrator.
