I want to play it down the middle if I can.

I don't think the draft is boring.

I actually love the draft.

I dive pretty deep on the draft.

I want to know about the guard from...

you know, Bemidji State or whatever, if he's 6'5", 330 and could be a second round pick.

Like I said, I feel like it's

It's sort of like a Groundhog Day.

You're gathering about nothing.

It's just an excuse to go drink with like-minded people who obviously enjoy the NFL, too.

Right.

TV, much like I think the draft is.

And that's where Joe's point comes in is how did it become this in-person thing that there are tickets for and cities are bidding to host it?

I think the amount of clicks and views that mock drafts and big boards get, people are more familiar with the first round prospects by and large than you're giving them credit for, Joe.

But I'm with you that I think it's simply to me an NFL event that is better followed via phone, internet, TV, back when they used to put it on the radio because there's really nothing happening.

Yes, I suppose you have guys walk across the stage

They'll give Roger Goodell a hug.

Maybe they'll do some interviews there.

But I just, yeah, it's become commodified by the league, which is brilliant.

Brilliant, yeah.
