I know the NFL is ESPN's cash cow (hence why it's covered ad nauseum) but who fucking cares about which player goes where? I feel like there has been endless draft coverage for weeks now, along with endless SCHEDULE coverage when the schedules came out.
I'm burning out on NFL due to all of this bullshit.

I hate mock drafts. Most useless fucking sports discussions of all time, those things.
I need my yearly fix of Mel Kiper Jrs hair. Excited for next years draft as I will make the bold prediction that Matt Barkley and Robert Woods will be taken 1-2.

What % of 1st rounders even pan out as successful pros?
About 77-81% depending on the year but the average is right around 79%.
I have researched it, along with every other round. Took a 15 year sample size and graded every player in every draft.
6th and 7th rounders are basically throwaway picks, with 6th hitting at about 13% and 7th's around 9%.
Wow, that's higher than I thought. Still though, who the fuck wants to sit through weeks of this coverage?About 77-81% depending on the year but the average is right around 79%.

What I hate about the draft is all of these "experts" who couldnt name one of 3 or 4 of these players going in the first rd 6 months ago now talk like they know everything.
I am not talking about the Kipers and Mcshays and the Mayoks of the world but guys like Golic, Greeny and the rest of the clowns
My new favorite guy on NFL network is Heath Evans. Guy is legit

I would enjoy the draft a lot more if i didnt have to listen to chris berman. Dude makes me want to punch him in the face every time i hear him say "da raaaiiiiderssss"
Or "the New York football Giants". THE BASEBALL TEAM MOVED AWAY 50 YEARS AGO YOU FAT, SWEATY FUCK, LET IT GO!
Who is forcing you to listen to Berman?
They have this NFL Network channel now, check it out.
The OP can eat a dick. Football is THE MOST POPULAR SPORT IN AMERICA. The off season at least 6 months even if you give credit for training camp and pre-season. This is the most important singular event during that 6 month period. Im stoked for tonight and cant wait to see how the first round plays out. This is equivalent to my favorite part of fantasy sports (the live draft), but in real life!
It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?
One of the first bets I put down.
Just look at his avatar probably some euro donk who has no clue about REAL football. You know the one that involves more than 1 score a game and endless stretches of boredom.

Not true. I like the NFL, I just think that it's covered too much. Three hours to break down the schedule release? Give me a fucking break. Weeks and weeks of draft coverage? Who fucking cares? I'll start paying attention as the preseason winds down.
Oh, and JSearles - Stake me bro
This is exactly why I think March Madness hype is so stupid. Throughout the regular season you hardly hear a peep about college basketball. Then March rolls around and suddenly everybody has informed opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of 64 teams.
Pretty much this except at least March Madness involves competition. The draft is just talking heads posturing, speculating on the character of young dudes and a shitload of coverage for the NFL.This is exactly why I think March Madness hype is so stupid.
