My friend, Yahoo! Sports Michael Silver waxes intelligently and hiliariously on the NFL Draft, race and racism in it, Gene Upshaw and the players union, and Cal sports.

Please visit blog.footballreportersonline.com for the Audio Interviews conducted at Thursday's NFL DRAFT MEDIA Lunch. They include: Jake Long, Chris Long, Vernon Gholston, Darren McFadden, Glenn Dorsey, Matt Ryan, and NFL Network's Marshall Faulk.

I talked with Chicago-based NFL Agent Ian Greengross about his client Darren McFadden's perceived character issue and the chance that if the Oakland Raiders drafted him, he may holdout given their revenue problems. Greengross said that in all of this years as an NFL agent, none of his clients have missed training camp.
