It's a cringe-worthy bit of hokum, this idea the NFL has of allowing teams to announce their Day 3 draft choices (rounds 4-6) "from unique locations" and with special guests.
Nevertheless, 14 teams have signed up to play along during the upcoming draft, per an NFL news release issued Monday. That includes the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, whose special guest will be a parrot.
The Raiders also have signed up, but no whimsy here. The Raiders are employing unmistakable messaging with regards to the "unique location" (Nellis Air Force Base northwest of the Las Vegas strip), and their guests (Las Vegas-area youth and high school football players).
