It's Just About Time...

The NFL Draft is always the most exciting weekend of the entire NFL schedule. If you're asking, "More exciting than Super Bowl Weekend?", consider this: Bill Belichick just did an interview with NFL Network, and he was smiling. He even cracked a couple of jokes, and mustered up a sincere compliment for Jon Gruden! Now when's the last time you saw a jovial Bill Belichick an hour before kickoff on Super Bowl Sunday? Exactly. Like we said, the NFL Draft is the most exciting weekend in football.

Mike Mayock thinks that this draft is the weakest draft he can remember, and he might be right in a sense. There's not a lot of "star power" in this draft. But in a different sense, this could turn out to be a really good selection weekend for teams that use their picks wisely. Maybe Matt Stafford winds up being more Tim Couch than Peyton Manning (doubtful), but there are a ton of players that have the potential to really help the teams that select them.

We're less than an hour away from the start of the Draft, less than 60 minutes from the Detroit Lions officially making a young man from Georgia University one of the highest paid players in the NFL. Mel Kiper's hair is ready; so are we.

Let's get ready to rumble!
