The NFL Draft is just like any other part of the offseason that takes place before any real on-field work is being done. Fans get to be filled with aspirations for what their team will achieve. Teams who struggle have fans who have dreams of turning around, while fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers just want everybody fired because nobody knows what they’re doing here anymore and where’s Dan Kreider?
But the draft more than anything is the purest form of football fantasy, in my opinion, because you’re dealing with players who have never been on this stage, and you never know who is going to rise to the occasion or sink under the pressure.
