Time's not there to respond to all the fantastic well-wishing Yes, I have an anniversary on or around the draft every year Yes, it's also during Pesach (for me) and Easter (for her... another Catholic, Latina this time) Yes, we're both insane, we've both lost someone, and we're crazy about each...

She's asked me to take her to a game up there and has a cousin in Boston :D We'll probably go to a game or two at the local Patriots bar first. She assumes I can explain the rules to her. I can't wait for "So how come it was a catch the last week but this week it is not?"

Well said! Thanks for that - and in 20 years I hope to say "okay I was right, now where tf did the time go" :)

Hi folks. I've been a little scarce around here, partly because my fan life is, I'ma say, in transition, and my personal life has been better and better of late. It's 22 min. of work though, so for once I'll be brief: I'm getting (re-)married April 26, so I totally win this year's draft. You...

For the 26th onward... well, that's got its own thread unless @Ian wants to merge it in here :D

Yeah, ya beat me to it. On a Kraft-owned team? Too easy :D

Jordan Richards drove 35 GOT DANG miles to avoid a toll an donchu FERGIT it, Baw! (or however far it was) And I'm sorry but every time I see the name Trey Lance I think of the character Trey from Gran Torino and I'd post a youtube link but I'm not sure it would pass community guidelines...

No, you don't fire the guy for 1 bad pick, unless you tell him, or expect him to understand, that we're done with out-of-left-field, not-the-consensus picks. In Bill we don't trust, who TF did you say you were? The guy who invented Law and Order*? Sirrously... I don't think you get slammed for...

At this point on the calendar, unless we get a Tax forum, the whole place is the Draft Forum. Time eventually wins every battle. On a related nonsensical point, I can't believe there is the "next level down" prospect named Joe Alt. I can't believe there's anybody named Joe Alt. Oh please, draft...

We could merge a lot of threads by creating a character called Draker Mayefield. Just sayin'. (All kidding aside, there's no other point here, just the kidding. As you were.)

I have a rare sixth issue of Bucko Kilroy. It's the one where Bazooka Joe makes an appearance.

If we could believe counterfactuals Frank Frink would have been shot in the head by Joe Blake and/or America would have won the war. Sorry, I've been rewatching "The Man in the High Castle" because I'm nostalgic from when a Nazi takeover of America was fanciful fiction. Point is, and this goes...

You want your 7th rounder to just be Purdy good.

I mean, me too. Heck, I want that at every pick, right? But "want" isn't the metric that makes sense, it's "what usually happens plus some margin that means you demand excellence." After 1 year? Pro Bowl good. (And that's a ridiculously high bar) Oh wait that didn't help. What if you whiff...

Starting with number 1 here, so many things BB brought to the game made the "old way" look stupid as surely as grunge killed 80s hair bands. - Was it just the fact of Lawrence Taylor or his coaching of Lawrence Taylor, or both, that caused the Left Tackle to become the must-have prestige...
