That was a great video. I loved the candid reaction to Mo Harkless being picked before him. Ben Tate had a similar angry one on "Hey Rookie Welcome to the NFL" when he saw Toby Gerhart go before him.
hearing that rundown of teams that were not going to take Royce ... that was enough to give anyone a panic attack
McHale must have jumped at the tiny opening the 'others in the room' gave him, so he drafted White at 16 right away. We missed the chance to draft a center, but Jones is a very skilled big man who can make us forget that.

Part of me think it's all a motivational tactic my McHale. Calls agent: Hey we are going to take Royce at 16 but I want you to tell him that we are the only ones who liked him, and none of the other teams believes in him. If I was a rookie this would fire me up and get me to work a lot harder.
More likely had to do with the Tyler Zeller trade that was to come afterwards. Anytime there is a draft day trade, teams are going to spread misinformation to throw off teams.
i think so cuz the assistant coach was shocked when he heard that Boston is out. he's like "what? they're out?" :grin:
if i'm not mistaken white pulled out of practice follow with this rumor..and the harkless comments cometh :grin:
I just watched this video for the first time after all the stuff that's been going on. The dude obviously does have some serious problems. I hope he gets them worked out, but I am not feeling optimistic. Id love to see more of the footage they shot.
First of all, he's got to begin to participate in practice and games, and then we shall see what goes next
