Rakes Of Mallow —
... Trevor Laws went only nine picks later, rejoining teammate Victor Abiamiri on the Philadelphia Eagles. I love how Mel Kiper called Laws "arguably the best player on Notre Dame last year" when absolutely no one - not an avid Irish fan, not someone who watch only one Notre Dame game - would even begin to argue with you over the merits of big 98.
