The first round of each NFL Draft, Commissioner Roger Goodell takes the podium to announce each team's pick. This prompts a lot of boos when he comes out, but then cheers once the pick is announced along with, often times, hugs, handshakes, and photos with the player who is selected. But day two is different.
Not only are players not typically in the building for day two, but Goodell gives way for teams to have whoever they like come out and announce the pick.
For the Raiders, this year it will be four-time Super Bowl winning linebacker Matt Millen.
Millen was a Round two pick himself for the Raiders back in 1980. He spent the first nine years of his career in Silver & Black, winning two Super Bowls. He spent the final three seasons of his career in San Francisco and Washington where he would get two more rings before retiring following the 1991 season.
The Raiders currently have two picks on Day two of the draft -- Pick 36 near the top of the second round and pick 67 in the third round.
