"Red Carpet" event
Intro music for each player
Selling the event out to Jerry Jones' ego
49295849292857 Mock Drafts and almost as many "Draft Experts"
Mock Draft 5.0--make one and stick to it
Public character assassination disguised as "news" (Josh Allen, Derrius Guice)
Live on THREE networks
Pick announcements being held for television for up to 5 minutes after it was made tweeted

Welcome to end-stage Capitalism, fellas.

It ain't my cup of tea and I preferred it starting on Saturday, but I am amused by the cottage industry aspect of it.

I was there all day at the fan fest. I made fun of it being so big and festive, but it was really cool to see and see all the fans in one place.

They did a really good job

It’s definitely still relevant I’ve just never understood how it’s a huge deal to the average fan. There’s a little drama about the first couple quarterbacks then that’s about it. Unless you’re a professional football scout I don’t know why you’d have a strong opinion on whether a guy is the fifth or sixth best middle linebacker in the draft.

Most of this is just your regular complaining but I did lay off mock drafts after last week. CBSSports.com had about 2-3 different mocks a day for the last week.

So underutilized. He's the best in the business in my opinion.

I would rather watch the NFL draft than the Super Bowl, but this Thursday to Saturday format sucks!
