Being brutally honest, I don't get it. I'm a fair-weather draft geek. I have a tendency during this pre-draft season to look at a few Mock drafts and knowing the draft position for the Rams, I wonder about this or that prospect. When I finally look at high lights on YouTube, I get too excited because we all begin a romance with a player that we don't know the bad side of...YouTube doesn't show the bad stuff in that hype video that got us so excited.
As for the draft, I like to watch when the Rams are in the mix, but normally I am clueless about all of the players. In years past, most of the guys we picked and felt that after glow about, are just guys. They play on Special Teams and they battle the previous year's guys like themselves for a spot on the 53. Most don't make it, unless they were picked before round 5.
I don't get the deep dives into the morass of NFL wannabees. I like Jake Ellenbogan and his DTR podcasts normally, except this time of year. He's interviewing every tom, dick, and jrry32 who will talk to him. Podcast after podcast, interviewing guys that I have never heard of and probably will never hear from again. Player evaluation is his thing, but I don't have time for it. So, I will watch loosely tonight since we don't have a dog in the hunt. Maybe Les Snead will do something crazy, and that's partly why I'll watch. I get excited AFTER the draft when I start watching the videos of the players we actually drafted, which is probably why I am normally more satisfied with the results than actual, hard-core draft geeks who have their own pet picks....lol
