Whats your most hated cliche that we'll hear 1000 times over the next few days?

"They got their guy!"

"This guy is a football player!" <- Easily my most hated. I thought everyone drafted was supposed to be one?

"<Team> won the draft."

"<Team> instantly became better."

"He reminds me of <HOF Player>."

"This guy is high risk, high reward."

"He's the complete package."

From an analyst: "That's my guy there!" Cause they talked to him for 15 minutes the day before.

had to add these post-draft cliches:

"we were shocked he was still on the board"

"we couldn't believe he slipped to us"

"we had him ranked as a <earlier> round draft pick"

"we just couldn't pass him up in the <later> round"

"we think he was the best <position> in the draft"
