Mock schmock: Raiders weren't willing to wait for Clelin Ferrell

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- You think you were stunned by the Oakland Raiders using the NFL's No. 4 overall draft pick on Clelin Ferrell?

Imagine being Ferrell and getting that call last week.

"I would be lying to you if I said I wasn't surprised," Ferrell said with a laugh, later that same night.

"I don't pay attention to the mock drafts; those things are stupid. Through talks with my agent, we really didn't know what to expect going in. Me personally, I always felt like I was going to be a Raider because I had such a good relationship and good meetings with the Raiders.
