The NFL continues to prove what a bunch of morons they really are and as such...Graham Harrell did not get drafted. At best, he will have to join a team as a free agent and probably settle for a lot less $$$ mula and a more menial contract. (any data in blue text only was added on Monday afternoon, 4-27-09) ESPN reports that the Browns invited him to join their mini-camp "too get a feel" for the team and himself. Mike Leach is understandably peeved off at the NFL for not drafting Harrell, and had some choice words for the NFL. "Right On, Mike!" Mike was also very upset at Brown's coach Eric Mangini for his bad-mouthing of Michael Crabtree in calling Michael a "diva". Maybe Mike will let up on Eric if Harrell ends up with a contract with the Browns. Maybe he can pass Brady Quinn in the QB lineup if Brady has another season ending injury. I held my breath during the last round today and when the slots hit # 200, I knew it was "crunch-time" for him to get drafted. I still hate that the Giants (in a deal from New Orleans) picked up QB Rhett Bomar 15(151)from Sam Houston State over Graham. They call Graham a "system QB"...all of our QB's have had this stigma ever since Mike Leach came over to Tech with his style of the pass offense. Notice how several other colleges have gone over to that type of offense in the big 12 (OU, UT, Baylor, A&M, OK St, KS, K-ST, Mizzou, etc...)and around the country, but Tech still gets the "lone pounding" for it. I still believe that Graham has the best ability, from previous Tech QB's, to make it in the NFL. Screw the teams who passed him up. The same was done to Wes Welker a few years ago and look what he did for the Dolphins and now for the Patriots. I even held out my hopes of Graham maybe getting the final slot of the '09 draft at # 256 which has been dubbed as the "Mr. Irrelevant" dating back to 1976, but NO---that slot went to a stupid kicker from South Carolina by way of the freakin' K-City Chiefs. That term was coined as such because the final player drafted often does not make the team. However, that was in years past, in more recent years, the last player taken has proven himself and stayed with the team more often than not.
All I can saw now is Graham, please go out and prove the NFL wrong!!!
Several other Tech players were also bypassed so I hope they too will prove everyone wrong. Maybe during all the trading that will continue to linger in months ahead.
