2008 Draft: What John Clayton Thought of Day One

I am a big fan of John Clayton. I know many of you are too.

Anyway, here are his thoughts on day one of the 2008 NFL Draft

Both John Clayton (author of this article) and Mike Sando (author of the one you mention below) are former writers for the Tacoma News Tribune, which I delivered from 1995-96. Mere coincidence? Not likely.

I didn't know Mike Sando used to write for the Tacoma News Tribune. Man, what a kick ass newspaper staff!

What are the odds that two guys writing for the TNT would rise to both become prominent sports journalists? Is there a story behind this?

Or are you implying that your delivery skills had something to do with this?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it had something to do with my delivery skills.

Possible alternative explanation: Clayton's knowledge of the NFL got him the ESPN job, and then Clayton's ESPN connection helped his friend Sando get a job.
