Oakland Press, Oakland, Ca
It was a sleepless night for the Oakland coaching staff has the trade wires were burning up for the 11th overall pick. General Manager Jave spoke with us briefly;"While this draft was one of the strongest overall, and there were several franchise players we were looking at, the opportunity to acquire a defensive end with the skills and potiental of Mitchell was to good to pass up.
We had a problem last year stopping the run and getting any pressure on the quarterback, and we believe with the addition of Richard, that will solve both of those problems with this single trade."
We also managed to get Derek Nelson on the phone, who was injuried last year to get his views;"This is huge for our team, and city. After my injury last year, Doc tells me I will no longer be able to put the hard pressure on my knees to make the upfield cuts, and side to side movements, so I needed some help this year on the line. I know Mitchell, me and him hung out a bit over the summer last year, and this guy is a class act. Our whole team welcomes him to the city of Oakland."
More to come tommorow, has it's rumored that the Assassins have resigned a good deal of players, and will make the announcements in the morning. From Oakland, this is Oakland press, Oakland, California.
