Yea man normally I am all over it, the last couple years especially I couldn't get enough of it. Just doesn't seem to peak my interest as much this year and I cant quite put my finger on why (not trippin to much about it). Im just hoping I dont have this same feeling for the draft cause my boys and I always get together to watch it.
It's hard to get hype knowing that after the draft there won't be anything to discuss besides leaked arguments from the union and owners. No talking about OTA's, rookies signing, no free agent talk, no signing of UDFA, and no pre season. Dam they gotta get it together and fast.
The CBA is definitely hanging over everything. I usually spend a lot of time this year reading about prospects and mock drafts, etc. This year, I haven't done any of that. Its hard to develop an idea of what you'd like to see them do when you don't have a good idea of what all the options look like (FA, etc).
The draft has always been my favorite part of the off season, but its clearer now more than ever that the draft is just part of the off season. Everything else is so screwed up that its kind of ruining the draft for me.
