As we've made clear before, we have a hard time firing ourselves up for the NFL Draft. It's the type of weird madhouse obsession with young men who are just trying to figure themselves out that ends up leading to situations like the one with Kevin Hart. It's a big list of names of people you don't know, read for about 14 hours, after which everyone discusses who "won" and "lost" even though by the time we know the answers to those questions, we will have moved on to another draft, and forgotten all about this one.
That said, everyone's all a-twitter about the draft, so it must be acknowledged — and we understand Drew is going to hammer us for this viewpoint on Thursday — and we'll be covering it all weekend too. The weekend editor is the suddenly famous Christmas Ape, and he'll be joined by Michael Tanier of Football Outsiders, doing the sort of instant analysis that we're all helplessly addicted to. And yes: Jake Long is going first.
So yeah: Young men you don't know, post underwear inspection. We can't wait.
