There was once a time where my excitement over the NFL Draft's third day dimmed beyond all recognition. It became something to watch during the NBA or NHL Playoffs. I would still follow all of the picks, but none of those picks ever had the same supercharged appearance of the flashy first round or the wildly-entertaining second and third rounds.
All of that really changed when I began realizing that finding the right fifth or sixth round pick can forever alter the perception of a franchise's future. Donald Driver was the all-time leading receiver in Green Bay Packers history, which isn't too bad for a seventh-round pick.
