This will be the first year I have really paid close attention to the draft. Last year was the first time I can remember even seeing the draft highlights on UK telly so it's something I usually only read about afterwards. This year though I am looking forward to seeing how it all pans out and will of course be glued to patsfans.com to see what fellow Patriot fans are thinking.
My draft rookie question for the day is...how do teams manage the clock ? As far as I understand it teams have only 10 minutes to get their pick to the podium on Day 1. However, what if somebody like Matt Ryan falls to 7...surely the Pats phone would be red hot. 10 minutes to work out a trade with 3 or 4 other teams seems extremely tight. I would assume that the Pats will have every scenario mapped out and if someone like Ryan does fall to 7 they will know exactly what they want. Even so it still seems like a very short period of time to make a potentially franchise changing decision.
