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.

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."

Let’s go Mort!!!!
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.
