Las Vegas will never be the same. This fall the Raiders are coming to the city that never sleeps and they're bringing Lynn Bowden with them. The 2019 Paul Hornung Award Winner from the University of Kentucky was taken in the third round by the Raiders with the 80th overall pick.
First and foremost, Bowden is going to look beautiful in the Raiders' silver and black. He personifies everything it means to be a Raider. I just wish we could hear Jon Gruden bragging about him on Hard Knocks this summer. "That guy does it all, man. He'll catch a pass, throw a touchdown, grab a can of tuna, whatever. He's got IT."
One of three receivers selected by the Raiders in the first three rounds, Bowden will start by taking handoffs out of the backfield as a running back. His former teammate, Lonnie Johnson, predicted Bowden would be a pirate moments before the Raiders' pulled the trigger.

Once Bowden's name was called, Vince Marrow Tweeted, "NFL get ready. A dog is coming." That's the highest praise the Big Dog can bestow upon another.

Logan Stenberg is still waiting to hear his name called. The offensive guard should pop early on day three. The Bills, Steelers and Titans are just a few potential destinations to keep your eye on as the draft unfolds with fourth round coverage beginning at Noon on ESPN. A few other important pieces of draft information...
sheep's clothing shredded hooded sweatshirts.
Unfortunately, the pretty pup was only available for the Patriots' first pick. Luckily, Roger Goodell gave fans something to cheer for and it wasn't his beaming personality. At the start of the night, a full jar of M&Ms sat on his desk. Throughout the night that number dwindled. It drew so much attention, at the end of the night he picked up and shook an almost-empty jar for the folks still watching at home. It was an exhilarating story to watch unfold.

Day Two By the Numbers
- 13 wide receivers were taken in the first two rounds, a new NFL record, paving the way for Bowden to be picked a little earlier than some predicted.
- 11 of the first 40 picks were from the state of Texas. None of them attended Texas or Texas A&M. Does that mean Texas is back?
- 10 LSU players were taken in the first three rounds, tying a record set by Ohio State in 2016 when Joey Bosa and Ezekiel Elliot headlined the Buckeyes' draft class.
- 40 of the 106 players drafted through the first three rounds were from the SEC, the most of any conference in draft history. LSU and Alabama accounted for 19 total, two more than the entire Big Ten.
- With the 53rd pick in the NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles selected quarterback Jalen Hurts. Just like the Green Bay Packers, the franchise rewarded its star quarterback by picking his replacement, instead of adding a much-needed weapon at wide receiver. The biggest difference? Aaron Rodgers is near the end of his career at 36. Carson Wentz is only 27.
The Secret to the Patriots' Success
We finally learned why Bill Belichick is the best in the business. All along he's been a dog in
