Personally I'm just hoping the Lions don't poop the bed here. And for our Michigan guys to go somewhere good for them.

Its amazing how this event has grown in to a Prime Time showcase.  Big spectactle now.  Did anyone see the Costner film?

Goodell took home about a billion dollars last year.

The guideline for games and events like the draft has always been to start the thread as close to the event as possible to preserve the quality of discussion and also to prevent the thread from being relegated to the second page by the time something starts. Even prediction threads during the season are supposed to be started a maximum of 12 hours before the game. Granted, the draft is a once-per-year event, but we may have to extend these guidelines.

I just want to see the players get drafted.

The walk-up music, introducing all the players before the draft, it doesn't need to be 3 days. They're trying way too hard to squeeze something out of this and turn it into something special.

It's ridiculous that the first pick team should take more than like 30 seconds to make their pick. You've had months to decide!

These guys are AWFUL...they have no chemistry.

And Berman is losing it. He can't put a sentence together or lead a discussion. He just wants to throw out random facts...

Everyone knew that they were going to take Clowney, but it's a mistake. He's the best available, but not at a position they need.

for mentioniong the draft being on the NFL Network.   Laziness or whatever, the TV was already on ESPN when the NFL Draft started and all I did to deal with the non-stop screaming was to turn down the volume. 

The NFL Network is a much more peaceful place.

  1. Drink everytime they show the V. Smith hit
  2. Drink everytime they show Manziel's "play" vs. Duke
  3. Drink everytime Berman makes up a word
  4. Shot if Ray Lewis does his dance
  5. Drink everytime a B1G player goes before Lewan
  6. Drink everytime you see Manziel's "sprinkle" celebration
  7. Drink everytime someone slurps the SEC
  8. Shot if no RB is taken in the first 22 picks
  9. Shot if no QB is taken in the first 12 picks
  10. Drink if the Lions take a WR

Bonus: 2 shots of Gruden punches Mel and walks off set.

I just saw one my best friends on ESPN at the Bortles watch party...the hot girl jumping up and down in the front. Was just at her wedding last year. Used to date her older sister.

That was weird.
