re: The Raiders selected Brock on a coin flip

Not true according to Raiders coaches. Looks like Arnold made it up to bolster his image of himself.

Honestly, if this was true the GM should be fired. You don't make first round picks based on a coin flip even if there are two guys available that you like.

I'll also say this, it probably wasn't the smartest of picks for them because the drafted a TE early in the 2nd round last season. Maybe they envision a lot of two TE sets or playing Brock in the slot. I dont know but they are supposed to be a really run heavy team so it just seems like a strange pick.
