I bet he didn't have an Oher jersey

C'mon ESPN, Cerrato as an draft analyst. Did Matt Millen say no? Cerrato as an draft analyst is like having Big Ben as an operator on a rape hotline.

Cerrato praises Sims, takes shot at Millen

Former Redskins Executive VP Vinny Cerrato weighed in on the three-way trade that sent linebacker Ernie Sims from the Lions to the Eagles, and he said the Eagles got a great deal -- while taking shot at a fellow former NFL personnel man.

"I think they stole him," Cerrato said of the Eagles acquiring Sims in an interview with 97.3 ESPNFM. "Ernie Sims is an outstanding player. They'll play him at will linebacker, which in their defense, a smaller guy with speed fits. He'll run and make a lot of tackles and the guy is a tackling machine."

But Cerrato wasn't done there. He also felt the need to make a crack at the expense of the man who drafted Sims, former Lions President Matt Millen.

"The only thing is, if Matt Millen said he was a great player, then we don't know," Cerrato said.

Ouch. Not very nice. But kind of funny.

They had Cerrato on 106.7 with Wise. It was pretty funny as they kept poking fun at him.

One unemployed personnel man slams another unemployed personnel man. That's meaningful.

They have him there so that people can take his advice and analysis and find success doing the exact opposite of what he suggests

With Mike Tyson as his supervisor.

I listened to it on the radio. The guy never takes any responsibility for some of the bad picks he made. He mentions ST, Samuels and Orakpo and you can hear him pretty much bragging about those guys. Yet he fails to mention any of the bums. What a loser.

He was also on Mike and Mike this morning, and emphasized not once, but twice, that the team didn't have a franchise quarterback during his years in Washington, and commented the second time he said it that that is the reason why he is now doing commentary for ESPN.

^^ Wow are you serious?? I really hated that guy for being a crappy 'GM' but to openly insult one of the players you were involved in drafting in the first round, no less? I cannot understand how Snyder kept him around for as long as he did.

Nice to see nothing has changed with VC. Still as delusional as ever.

VC is not the sharpest tool in the shed. So he still will not admit that the offensive line was neglected in the draft for so many years and that was the major cause of our failure in 2009? What an ego on that guy. He will never be a GM in the NFL again. What was Snyder thinking when hired him twice?
I hated VC from day ONE. I was one of the guys that always wanted to get rid of Ceratto for a real GM. Snyder and Ceratto was a terrible duo as our GM.
How diffrent things would have been if we kept Casserly and later Schottenheimer.

He never wanted anything to do with Campbell. I don't think he was ever a fan, but still no reason for him to say those things. VC's a strange bird, never been much of a "high road" kind of guy.
