I had a late second grade on his car, so I'm surprised it went this early and that he signed a deal to be dropped in the news this early. I thought the new CBA didn't allow that to be signed before the draft.

Hope. I think that's what it is. I think hope is what you're selling on draft night. And I think that's why they've packaged it, stamped it and sold it to everybody. I think that's really what it is. And I think, too, is that college football is so big that you have people that. Hey, we're playing member berries with some of these guys. Hey, this guy, you know him. He won the Heisman.

Hey, this guy was really good. A four year starter for your school, which is unlikely now with everyone transferring. But really, that's what you're selling to teams is that all 32 teams have hope. It's the games haven't started. They haven't started 0 and 6. They haven't started 0 and 5. They haven't fired their head coach. Their quarterback isn't actually a lemon player.

You know, and I think that's what you're selling. And also the draft now, if you notice, is it's rotating all these cold weather cities. And I think that's been a great thing for actually the NFL. It's like, well, also they make more money off of it. So, of course, it's a great thing for them. But they have gone, oh, the Super Bowl gets the warm weather cities.

Well, how do we reward or bring this event to the fans? And I actually think that's been a good part of this. I know it's in Green Bay this year, which is kind of a pain in the ass for most people to get to. But I know being in Pittsburgh, Chicago, Kansas City, Detroit, Detroit, it was awesome last year. So I think that's a part of it, too, is that it's the fan event.

While the Super Bowl is the corporate event, the draft is truly the fan event. And I think that's why so many people get hyped up about it.

I would say the deepest position is running back. There might be double-digit running backs in the first two days that get selected. I looked it up. The record since the new millennium, since 2000, is 11 in the top three rounds. I think the all-time record since the mid-90s is like 15 or 14, which tells you it's a different age group.

But I think that the running back is the deepest class with Ashton Gentry, too, on top. And there might be two or three running backs selected in the first. But edge is another spot and not just edge. D-line in general is pretty good, pretty deep at the top and into the second day.

And actually, the position that I think has been kind of overlooked a little bit is that there's some depth that offense aligned. There might not be the really, really great guys at the top of the draft, but there's a lot of players, I would say, late first, early second, that it's a little... juicier than you'd expect than I think it's been kind of made out to be.

And then tight end is another position that has talent at the top and on day two. Some interesting guys there, like real tight ends too, not the Mike Kosicki types. I know I'm giving a shout out to Dolphins fans here.
