The news/hype surrounding the NFL Draft
is just intense this year. My Miami Dolphins plan to be big movers
tomorrow and I'm really excited about watching what happens. The
problem is until today there was no notice of when the Draft coverage
starts on ESPN or NFL.com! WTF? Five and a half hours of Day 1 Draft coverage starts at
noon EST Saturday on ESPN. Round two starts at 11 a.m. EST Sunday.
Finally, NFL.com has the time up in front. Sheesh. My personal hope
is that someone trades for Miami's #2 pick. Especially the
Redskins. I'd love getting Cadillac Williams (doubtful) or Aaron
Rodgers (boy has his stock dropped) or Pac-Man Jones at #9 and Jason
Campbell or Odell Thurman at #25. And with a second round pick now we
could get Fason at RB maybe? Oh man I can't wait. Anyone else as
excited as I am? Whats the deal on the NFL Draft?

I'm always suprised that the NFL draft gets more attention than the NBA (or, in a more enhlightned age, the NHL) playoffs. Both start this weekend, after all, but a lot more column ink has been spilled about the draft.

I agree. I never once saw any information regarding even the date of the draft, let alone times. Granted as the date got closer, I stumbled upon that, but not the times until I just read this. Strange.
I'm a college fan myself. Although, I pull for the Titans, because I lived in Nashville. With me it's all about the Auburn Tigers. They are saying it's possible Auburn will have up to 4 1st rounders this year. Williams, Brown, Rogers, and possibly Campbell with a late 1st round pick. I heard Washington might like to have him.
I'll be watching.

B,
That's because the NBA playoffs will last 2 months. The draft is very important and takes two days. plus we've had nfl inaction for awhile.
