3 Things: The reaches. I find it funny how Mel Kiper, etc. argue over where a player should be projected. Everyone's draft board is different. As Mike Lombardi, who's annoying references to Bill Walsh can't be overstated, "It doesn't matter where they are picked. What matters is how they play." The reaches themselves are pretty funny. When I read that Andy Dalton could go as high as 8 to TEN (not a chance in hell), I laughed so hard, I got into trouble at work. The fans' reactions. I tape the draft when I can (I have '02, '03, '06, '07, '10) recorded and what makes me laugh is the fans overreactions. Back in '03, with the Minnesota letting the clock run out and ending up with an All-Pro DT in Kevin Williams, what was memorable was the douchebag Viking fans in their Randy Moss jerseys rioting after the choice was announced. The drafters (HC, GM) that actually call out those that question their decisions. Remember when Mel Kiper killed Indianapolis for passing on Trent Dilfer and Bill Tobin called him on it during an interview with Chris Mortensen who was scared spitless?

Trades. Primarily because they are surprises and seeing what teams offer and what other team get often changes everyone's board.

The rush you get when the commissioner announces who the 49ers pick or the music and the pick is in box in the later rounds. I guess it kind of ruins it when they show the team talking to that player on the phone but it definitely ruins it when La Confora is announcing the pick. I wish they would wait to show the player celebrating with their family until after the pick. Otherwise record them and replay the video of them on the phone or whatever.
