CURTain Call: Post Draft Edition

[The Gopher]

After Watching more than 8 hours of draft coverage, I ask myself, "was it really worth it?" Of course the answer is yes, but this reaction raises serious questions about myself. I did everything possible to avoid going to work on that saturday, but it was unavoidable, then spent all day sunday watching the draft and (slowly) getting my homework done. What is it that interests so many of us about the draft? It is painfully slow, and the analysis painfully generic. Mel Kiper and company make snap judgements of players they have barely heard of not too long ago, and it is almost universally optimistic. "Hey this kid could be a good fit" "this guy has lot's of potential" I'm not bashing the draft, i'm just trying to explain my addiction.

The draft really has became way too long. It's unwatchable, I mean you get months to decide who your top 100 players are and then you just go by who's left....it shouldn't take 15 minutes to decide, it's just too long.

All in all not bad Curt, although I don't share your views on a few moves the Vikings made. One other thing Fox has been switched offically to CB now. I wish I could share the positive outlook but I think just about every pick will be a bust from this years draft. Greenways to slow (didn't they say we needed LBs with speed) I may be wrong but both EJ and Thomas are faster. Every other pick was a reach.
