NFL Draft Running Diary

It’s been a long time since we’ve done a Running Diary so we’ll bring it back for the 2013 NFL Draft! Draft days are some of my favourite days in sport, and not just because you can make a drinking game out of it. Here’s an excerpt from that post about the excitement for Draft Day:

“Draft Day is set up so you can irrationally begin to fall in love with players when they first enter the league and give you hope for the upcoming season. Or of course if your team drafts a player you don’t like, make you wait for impending doom. If you’re like me, you love draft day. LOVE draft day.

L-O-V-E DRAFT DAY!

The limitless potential that comes with the event is what’s exciting about it. Anything is possible. Trades can happen to move up or down in the draft, trades can happen to acquire current players, or a team can just stand pat and usher in a new face to the franchise. Teams look at their depth charts and the depth charts of every team and figure out a way to manage their roster best for the upcoming season. It springs hope annually onto fans hoping that THIS IS THE YEAR their team wins.”
