After a long few months without football, the upcoming NFL Draft is the light at the end of the gridiron-less tunnel. Though it does not mark the official end to the offseason, it does act as a much-needed appetizer to tide us all over long before well-rested players, coaches, and managers report to training camp in July.
For both long-suffering and Lombardi-spoiled clubs, it's also an incredibly important piece of the roster-building process. For the former, the draft represents a beacon of hope—a chance for change and a shot at a ring—while for the latter, the selection process is less an opportunity for change and more a chance to keep those good vibes going. But whether you're in group one or group two, it's all in all just a fun time, as ball lovers from all over the country gather together to witness the next generation of NFL stars as they start their journey.
