Thread: Another Friggin' Month To Wait Before The Draft

I can't stand that there is still another month of Mocks and bluffing before they actually draft on May 8th. I'm sure Goody Two Shoes thinks it somehow makes the NFL more money but I liked it a lot better when it was in mid-April because you had the Super Bowl, the combine, the start of free agency and then the draft. Now you have the Super Bowl, the combine, the start of free agency, seven weeks of total bs and nothing much of importance and THEN the draft. There's nothing to discuss besides meaningless mocks and Desean Jackson's gangsta profiling. Y-A-W-N.

By the time the actual draft begins, I may fall asleep.

Well, it's a tradeoff. Now there won't be as much down time between the draft and mini camps/training camp. And wasn't the draft usually the last weekend of April? So this only knocks it back by like a week or 2.

2 extra weeks of speculating what your team might do, or 2 extra weeks of talking about what your team has actually done. I prefer the later.

Beisbol?

This is Colorado, we don't have baseball.

Fantasy teams have forced me to start paying attention to baseball. I still keep thinking about the draft and wish it were already here. Basketball season was over when my bracket busted. I'm looking at you, Virginia.

A longer attention span?

I've spent my life as an Astros fan. We not only no longer have baseball, we aren't even in the right league any more. Our DH's hit worse than our pitchers used to.

I feel you brother but the best playoffs of any sport is just a few weeks away!

That'll hold us til draft and tc

I'm not a huge NHL fan but agree that the NHL has the best playoffs (surely you didn't mean the NBA, right?) When I am an NHL fan, the Avs are my team. Since 1993, which pro Colorado team has won more titles - the Avs, the Rockies or the Nuggets? I think you know that answer.

I miss the Sakic Friends Network and wish Roy were still between the pipes.

Varlomov is playing exceptional netminding right now. It's not the 90's Avs, but these Avs are a really good team this year and fun to watch. Really love what the Avs have put together this year.

I've got plenty to keep me busy.

I don't know why, but the draft does little to get me excited. I think this is especially compounded by the fact that we have had so many busts and seem to be focusing on free agents and veterans more right now. I am always curious who we get, but I've never been to a draft party or anything like that. It could also have something to do with the fact that I don't watch much college football so I have no clue who is good or not. I do appreciate you guys doing mocks and stuff to get me familiar with some names, though. Otherwise I will watch the Rockies when I'm bored, cheer my ass off for the Avalanche in the playoffs, and patiently wait for training camp to start up again.
