23 days until the draft!

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

23 days, 6 hours, and 15 minutes at the time this was posted.  Is anyone else as excited as I am?

For starters, we have the 7th best draft capital in the NFL going in.

We have a roster that, IMO, makes the playoffs with the current talent level and is only going to improve.

We have a GM who is adept at finding talent, and has no qualms about maneuvering draft position to get the players he wants.

This draft class is amazing, especially at our positions of need. 

Never have I seen a draft where players in the 3rd round are being talked about like day-1 starters.  

Is it too early to be this amped?

Man, it's kind of sad.  After draft, we'll be left fantasizing about how well our team will do because of our paper improvements...then mini camp...then more fantasizing, then training camp....  So this is how the NFL has become a year long sport..

But I'm so excited to see how the story lines play out!

I don't remember being this excited for a draft. We've never seen DG in a position of being a contender with a top 10 draft pick. He's been decisive before about trading up to get who he wants. In this position might he make different moves?

I don't know but I'm excited to see how it plays out. We should end up with solid talent regardless but this year it just seems the possibilities are endless.

I learned to temper my excitement for the draft after the past 2.  Both 1st round picks were no wheres close to an area of need.  Was it BPA?  Not looking that way.

I have a feeling with the picks we have and talent level in the upper half of this years draft, it will be a make or break year for this staff. 

It will prove which was the fluke year, 15-1 or 6-10

I'm incapable of learning to temper my excitement. I've been told it's genetic and fatal.

I have seen just about every top 10  player outside of Garrett mocked to us.

And the best part just about anyone that falls to us is going to make an impact.

I just hope DG doesn't get some of the NYJ virus and select someone we have never heard of in round 1.

I check the huddle a couple of times a day to see if there is any breaking news....damn well knowing that there isn't going to be anything except offseason threads, player visit threads, and mock drafts......but I can't help it, keep coming back all the same.

Bring on the draft!
