I just don't get the NFL draft. I have to send this out into the world since (apparently) it's happening right now and has been for quite some time based on the amount of coverage ESPN has given it in the last month. I "get" football to a point. I enjoy watching Ravens games. I know terms like quarterback, interception, fumble, pass interference, leading with your head and the tuck rule. At times I even know what they mean. I can pick out players based on their numbers and know a lot of the coaches' faces and attitudes. But I have NEVER understood nor do I foresee EVER understanding the ungodly chaos that seems to be the draft.
I tried this year, I really did. I read some. I eavesdropped on endless debates at work between people (mostly guys, who are we kidding here?) to whom the drafting of about a million players to about a trillion teams actually makes sense. I even tried to watch it...a bit. But seriously, it's about as fun as watching paint dry. In the end though, I got nothing.
So I'll just be standing out here in left field until the first kick-off of the season. Call me when all the weird predictions and analyses are over so we can start debating who's going to make it to the super bowl this year after only the first game of the season. That one is easy to solve....the Ravens of course : )
