Hearing Wiz-Cavs Game 4
My New Favorite Player
This blog has been named Mr. Irrelevant for two years* yet has never mentioned anything about the last player selected in the NFL Draft. To appease all the draftheads out there who've been Googling "mr. irrelevant" and going to misterirrelevant.com only to stumble across my site, that's about to change. This one's for you, dorks ...
Earlier this evening, the Oakland Raiders selected Kevin McMahan with the 255th and final pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. This means he's a better prospect than Marcus Vick (who did not get drafted) and is in for loads of fun at Irrelevant Week. Here's what Gil Brandt has to say about him ...
"McMahan (6-2, 196) is a big, tall wide receiver from Maine with 4.5 speed and good hands."
He'll need all of that and more to crack Oakland's receiving corps of Randy Moss, Jerry Porter, Ronald Curry and Doug Gabriel. Hope's not lost, though, when you consider the notable Mr. Irrelevants from years past. QB Bill Kenney ('78, Miami) made the Pro Bowl in '83 and later became a senator in Missouri. LB Marty Moore ('94, New England) played in Super Bowl XXXI. FB Jim Finn ('99, Chicago) has started in the Giants backfield for the past three seasons.
Plus, the draft is only seven rounds deep. Mr. Irrelevant doesn't go that late anymore. Keenan McCardell was taken in the 12th round (12th!) back in '91 by Washington and he's caught over 800 balls and posted five 1,000-yard seasons.
So McMahan may make it after all, but I probably won't post about it much.
* It was called A Cinderella Story before that. Here's the reasoning.
