And with the first pick of the NFL Draft…

A different kind of religion takes hold of many people across America on Sundays in the fall: NFL football. The obsession takes hold in September and lasts through the Super Bowl in the first weekend of February.
While the NFL players are recovering from the season and hitting the golf courses instead of each other, the NFL website also slows down significantly for the off-season. But for one weekend in the spring fans dust off their recliners as the NFL makes headlines on a Saturday with their annual draft. For people like Mel Kiper, the draft is a year-round job, but for the majority of the fans, their attention is much more temporary.
At noon tomorrow the Raiders will be on the clock for the first pick and the NFL will briefly move to the front of people’s consciousness for a few days before again taking a backseat to baseball for the summer months. I know my attention will be particularly high for the 24th and 28th picks, hoping the Patriots can continue their recent draft day success.

Surprised to see how much it drops off in between Sundays during the season. Very interesting graph though. Looking forward to see where Brady Quinn is going to go.

Hear me now and listen to me later… Brady Quinn will be a bust. You heard it here first.

Honestly, I would take Greg Oden with the first pick. Yes, he has never played football, but put a little meat on those bones and you have a monster.

Looks like quite a few NFL teams had the same opinion as you about Brady.
