In reply to the discussion: 2021 NFL draft (predictions, updates, etc.) [View all]RockRaven
(16,748 posts)5. More curious/interested than excited.
I don't follow college football at all, so I find all the pre draft talk a bit much -- kind of like a friend or family member telling you minute details of their favorite hobby/activity which you've never even done once yourself.
I just want to know which players went to which teams. Then I can learn about the new players which are more relevant -- local team(s), in the division, whatever.
The way the NFL has drawn the draft out over now 3 f-ing days earns a big thumbs down from me. Even if I were a big draftnik, I'd still hate it. A tiny bit of actually substantive content on day one starts the whole thing off on a bad note. You feel the manipulation.
