No, but I still like to have fun with the draft. It’s a great excuse to debate the merits of certain athletes, have a few beers, eat some good food and get the boys together for a fun night.
More than anything else, the NFL draft has turned into a social experience, which is exactly what the league has wanted to happen.
It’s become a major television event, it captivates the world of sports and people love it. It’s all about the drama generated by the picks!
