OK, I'll say it
I don’t really get draft day.
I am a little excited to see where my favorite college players are going to play.
I am interested in seeing what my favorite pro teams do.
I realize that NFL and NBA drafts have a much bigger affect on a team’s short-term success than MLB and NHL, so the draft is a little more important.
But, I don’t really understand why it’s that much fun to watch the draft. I mean, other than the outcome, why should anyone care? I understand watching any sporting event – even the ones I think are complete wastes of time (NASCAR, American soccer) – because of the competition. But, there’s no competition here. It’s not a sporting event, it’s not a sitcom, it’s not a gameshow. To me, it’s the least-exciting reality drama ever.
That being said, I’m sitting at work today, so I’ll be following the thread to see who does what because I’m bored. But, if I was at home, I wouldn’t do anything other than check in every hour or so to see if any Mizzou guys had been drafted yet.
By all means, if it is exciting to you, I’m certainly not trying to say you are wrong in some way for that. God knows most people won’t spend 2 1/2 hours watching marathon coverage just because it’s on. I just don’t get it.

Well...
I like seeing where Mizzou players land. I’m looking forward to seeing what the Chiefs grab. Oh, and I love suprise picks that make all the fans for certain teams booing that player. Other than that, I’m gonna watch the Royals game more than the draft after the first 15 picks or so.

If you don't watch the draft
and it’s inane 5 hour pre-coverage (which I confess I am), then you miss things like Matthew McConaughey doing a half-assed review of good and bad draft picks called “Ghosts of Drafts Past” and then throwing in a pop for his newest movie called “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past”… or also miss the easy-on-the-eyes microphone describing Matthew Stafford’s older sister as being “gorgeous” for no apparent reason. Let’s follow THAT story line, please :)

The appeal of the draft . . .
is that everyone wins on draft day. No matter how terrible your team has been, you can watch the draft and think “we’re going to be awesome.”

I guess my biggest reason for not really caring that much
is that I’m not a huge NFL fan. I like it, because I really like football, but I didn’t grow up with a team. I was 10 when the Big Red left STL and I was living in Columbia when the Rams came. I have adopted the Chiefs, but I follow the NFL less than the average fan.
"When he went for that ball and dived over the table, I knew what was next to come. I felt sorry for what Texas Tech had to face after that."
-- J. T. Tiller - 3/12/09
Same here
I grew up in the Columbia area, and the Cardinals and Chiefs both sucked, but I remember CBS showing a ton of Bears games, which is how I became a Bears fan…watching Walter Payton run roughshod over the NFC. Then the Cardinals left when I was 7, and I didn’t like how the Rams bailed on LA and got sick of the Chiefs hype…I’ve always remained a Bears fan. I’m a Chargers fan by default because I dislike the Chiefs and absolutely hate the Raiders and Broncos.
That being said, if I had to choose between an NFL game and a Premier League game (English soccer), I’m clearly going with the latter. I’m a huge Manchester United fan (just finished watching them put 5 in against Tottenham in a span of 22 minutes.)
As a Brit told me one time…only in America can you take a game that lasts 60 minutes and drag it out for 4 hours.
It's just that soccer feels like it takes 5 hours
Actually, I enjoy watching international soccer because of the passion that comes through, but it gets SO BORING at times. I typically will FF through a match on Tivo and watch the plays that lead up to a score.
Interestingly, I could watch a 1-0 baseball game and have no problem.

Playing soccer...
much better than watching it. Some say the same thing about baseball, but I’ve seen more 1-0 games, ties, and (love these) 0-0 ties in soccer than boring games in baseball. Just terrible to spectate

I think that's the difference
between your general American sports fans and fans of international sports. In America, you’re always looking for the home run, slam dunk, big tackle, etc. Where in sports like soccer and cricket, you’re watching the strategy. A 1-0 soccer game could be extremely boring to someone who isn’t that interested in soccer, but it could have a ton of excitement in exciting build up plays, missed shots, etc.
I was going to avoid this...
but I’ve lost focus on the mindless ESPN drivel…
I could watch soccer all day long (and have done before) because of this fact. I can’t suffer baseball live because of the infernally slow pace and the fact that there is nothing going on more than there is something going on. It’s like getting a really watered down drink somewhere. When there is “nothing going on” in soccer, there is constant tactical movement, etc. In the interest of full disclosure, though, I played soccer, and not baseball… so there you have it

I pretty much agree with this
The draft generally is something for which I don’t need to make time. I definitely care about the results, but not enough to spend 4 hours on a Saturday watching that instead of a baseball game, playoff hockey/basketball, or even golf.

Even though the contract has already been negotiated.
and we all know that Staffords going #1 to the Lions, I bet they’ll still use all the time on their clock just to piss everyone off.
Likewise the St. Louis Rams--
Who have known the Lions have selected Stafford since last night (I believe that’s when I saw the story break)… they did the same last year under similar circumstances. :|

The Chiefs pick still intrigues me...
A lot of people said Jason Smith or Aaron Curry for the last month or so, but suddenly some guy from LSU, Tyson Jackson is suddenly KC’s presumed #3 pick, because he could fit nicely with a 3-4 defense. Also, a certain wide reciever’s dad was seen at the draft wearing nothing but Chiefs apparel. Interesting…

At this point...

Also, the Chiefs need to be all over Coffman in the third round. Just saying.

Please Please Please
That’s where great talents go to die these days… There is no reason that Darren McFadden should have had as rough a year as he did last year. . . Please don’t let Maclin go there.

Alright...

Alright...I am going to try to chronicle Beer Draft III - Fight for the Bell
Right now, the names of the beers are being assigned to the names of the potential 1st round picks. We have FORTY beers to select from. Maclin has been assigned Bud Light Lime…oh well. :-)

Is it random assignment
or do you try to assign the beer based on something specific about the player (i.e. Maclin would be a St. Louis beer, Stafford could be Lowenbrau (since he’s a Lion))?

Funny. Both Arrowhead Pride and Field Gulls (Seahawks)
are bitching and saying it’s typical that ESPN went to commercial during their pick. Uh, maybe it has to do with the fact that it’s 8 minutes until something will happen.

Gary Horton (ESPN's DraftCast chatter):
Gary Horton: Well, this is as vintage as an Al Davis pick as we’ll ever see. We know they had a tremendous need at WR. I believe the reason they made this pick was all about speed. Heyward-Bey has rare speed. He’s probably the biggest deep receiver in the draft. He has size. He’s an electric player. But he has considerable less discipline and concentration. He doesn’t have a lot of huge production and he’s an inconsistent route runner. This guy probably has top 10 athleticism, but the reason he was expected to go late in the first round was that lack of production and consistency. I could see them passing on Michael Crabtree, because they didn’t have an accurate 40 time on him. It would have been a reach for Percy Harvin. But, why in the world, if you wanted Heyward-Bey and you loved his speed, why wouldn’t you trade back 10-11 spots, knowing you could still get him.

Jackson is a perfect #2, and Chambers is always a #1….you think Maclin would be a #3?

Stephen McGee, aka the worst Big XII quarterback of the past decade, is now a Dallas Cowboy.
Seeking a new signature...
I must quote an old friend:
From Brad of the departed and sorely missed 12th Manchild:
I think Stephen McGee is an interesting (i’m looking at you, Psychology Community) example of how one, after proper conditioning, can UNLEARN a skill. After years of being conditioned to tuck a ball rather than risk an INT, Stephen no longer knows how to make proper reads or hit what I call the “pressure-pass”, that last second on-the-money throw that you see all great quarterbacks make.
God, he was such a stud in high school, though.

I somehow missed that the Bears took Juaquin Iglesias
quick, somebody tell me if this is good, bad, or “meh”.

I'd put it squarely between "good" and "meh"
You were saying you wanted a bigger, Muhammad-type receiver. In that case, it’s a meh.
But he a smaller, quicker guy who runs solid routes.
did mizzou have more players drafted on the first day than any other BXII team?
did anyone have more than 3. Other than USC.
still waiting on Stryker to get drafted
I’m not gonna hold my breath on Chase Daniel or Chase Patton getting drafted, though I think both will be invited to a camp
Colin Brown drafted by the Chiefs
did anyone see that coming?

Mizzou's starting right tackle...
Fantastic story for Colin Brown, the former walk-on made good. He was hoping just to get a workout and had the backup plan of being a school principal. Hopefully this works out for him.
Nic Harris to Buffalo!
The exclamation point is just to express my relief that there’s no way he can came back to OU.
Didn't Oregon State
win that 3-0 bowl game this year?

Maclin an Eagle...Daniel a Redskin...

So...
Since his reasoning was the fact that he thinks he can make the Redskins, I have to ask:
Does this mean Chase thinks he can’t compete with Stephen McGee?
my own opinion:
He hates that sonofabitch McGee and doesn’t want to be on the same team as him. That’s what I say. Yup.

considering McGee was drafted
he might not think it would be a fair fight. After Campbell, who do the Skins have at QB?

Berman was right.... kind of
they’re both Redskins now. If Daniel can somehow become a star I will make S’mores in his honor.
