Terrelle Pryor goes to Oakland Raiders
What a surprise. The most dysfunctional franchise in the NFL takes the head case from Ohio State in the third round of the supplemental draft.
I guess the Raiders will draft anyone who can run a good time in the 40, regardless of position.
Terrelle Pryor is a major project. I’m not sure he can ever develop into a starter in the NFL, and he’s obviously had off-the-field issues as well. The kid needs to grow up, and landing in Oakland only makes that more difficult.
He would have been better off going to a good team like Pittsburgh where he could learn under good coaches and behind a good quarterback who moves around in the pocket.

Yeah, but a team like Pittsburgh are going to have him buried in the depth chart for a long time. At least the Raiders are guaranteed to do three things:
1. Overpay the living shit out of him.
2. Decide suddenly to make him the starter (phone call from above).
3. Watch him turn into a drug-addled waste of talent and cut him.
He deserves a chance. Although I don’t think good quarterbacks come from Ohio State, I hope he surprises me. I’m sure he motivated to prove people wrong.
