AGRI Biz

For football fans, the offseason is long and tedious. We are provided with two pacifiers: the NFL Combine and the NFL Draft.   For Oakland Raiders fans these pacifiers are a time that we get ridiculed by the press for our draft picks, for overspending on free agents, and for the franchise's overall decision making—at least during the last few offseasons.   This year is very different.   The feeling is not one of anguish, but ...

The NFL Combine is behind us and it was very interesting in many ways. There were a number of players that really showed what kind of athletes they are. We have also entered into the first part of free agency. There have been some big signings. I was hoping for a few of them to be with the Silver and Black. Here is a new mock draft with big twist. ...
