The NFL Draft begins this Thursday and I could not possibly be more excited. I was not always quite so amenable to the initiation of these proceedings; in fact, I was generally fairly ambivalent and oftentimes outright nihilistic. I dumped on mock drafts for being stupid exercises in futility designed solely to drive page views (all the while leveraging my ESPN Insider subscription to consume each iteration of Todd McShay and Mel Kiper Jr.’s mock drafts and Big Boards, and I did so with ravenous and insatiable hunger). I felt that anyone who had a particularly strong opinion—good or bad—about a certain player was a fool.
