ESPN's Louis Riddick believes the #Raiders may have had the league's best draft.

"What John Spytek has done with the Las Vegas Raiders in this draft. If you want to talk about an iconic fanbase that can rival anyone's, #RaiderNation has to be sitting there going, 'Hey boys, we might be back.'"

Mel Kiper adds that Vegas closed the gap in the AFC West by adding Fernando Mendoza to compete with Mahomes, Herbert, Nix.

We lost a true Alabama legend today.Eddie Conyers was a remarkable man who was a part of this program from Coach Bryant’s first years until this season.I will always cherish the conversations we had at practice for the past 19 seasons.He loved Alabama and he loved our players.

Curt Cignetti and Dan Lanning were asked about all four HCs left in CFP having been at one point on Nick Saban's staff:

Cignetti: "I felt after one year with Coach Saban, I learned more about how to run a program than I maybe did the previous 27 as an assistant coach."

Lanning: "I was going to take a pay cut to go be a GA there. When anybody asked me why, I said I'm going to get my doctorate in football... Things I thought I knew, I realized I didn't really know anything."

UAB football is expected to hire Alex Mortensen as the school’s next head coach, per ESPN’s @PeteThamel. Mortensen worked as the interim coach this year in the wake of Trent Dilfer’s dismissal. He beat No. 22 Memphis and won at Tulsa as the interim coach.

For the third time in four years, the Raiders are addressing the contract of their cornerstone player, this time cementing his relationship with the Raiders for the foreseeable future. The deal was negotiated by CJ LaBoy and Doug Hendrickson of @wasserman.
