So, tomorrow evening marks yet another evening in NFL fans everywhere, the NFL Draft. I love it and think that the NFL markets themselves extremely well. They had an exhaustingly long draft in years past and it was virtually impossible to sit through the two-day marathon. Now, in prime-time deion sanders style they made a move to three days, which means more trades, better decisions (hopefully) and an alltogether easier fan experience. This was the best move they could have possibly done, as the MLB and NBA draft are both in prime time. The MLB, however, is the most flawed draft in pro sports. With no slotting system crappy teams like the well....you know....would shy away from top talent as they would stall out the teams or ask for the scrooge mcduck moneytower and then some and never sign..wasted pick. Can you imagine if we would have just drafted Wieters, Smoak, and Linnecum instead of ugh...others, maybe no Colt Griffin, no Jeff Austin, no D. Rob, and no moving JP Howell through the minors the second-quickest in franchise history, then calling him a bust, then trading him for Joey Gathright, who's claim to faim is he can jump over a moving car, as a fourth outfielder, a real thing of need (cough...Lubanski). Until you get a ground rule double for jumping over the ump and catcher while the pitcher tries to bean you, keep Gath, thanks D-Rays. The NBA really puts together the best draft, with the slotting system they have and the guaranteed money and years, you know exactly what you are going to get and how long you are going to get it, so youu try and get picked as soon as possible, like when you'd campaign for it at kickball so you could brag how awesome youu were. Kickball was the sheezy, anyone remember the KA Recess social we had? Legendary. Anyways, it seems as if everyone is throwing down a mock draft so Ii have decided to do so as well and just throw it down up here, I'm sure I will get 3-4 right out of 32, but hey, its fun to fill it out and watch and hope the Chiefs can't draft Tyson jackson again this year. Yikes. For the record, Ii hope we pick Eric Berry, and yes, Ii understand its a rediculous figure to give a safety that much dough....but we need one bad. I'm still pissed we let Pollard go, why not make him an OLB? He's havin' things out with the Texans.....

How sick would it be if we got Okung then traded our 2nd and 3rd round picks to get mays late in the first round and then drafted Gresham in the 2nd round? Borderline amazing is the answer, especially if Shipley was still around when the clock strikes. I'm sure we won't do any of this and we will have a less-than-exciting draft again. But you can always hope...I AM a Royals fan!
