Twas' the Night Before the Draft....

By Kalen Patrick


Tomorrow is one of the biggest days in the Football Calendar, Franchises will be forever changed, coaches and GM's jobs will be effected based on which players get picked. Will your team pick the next Joe Montana or will they pick the next Ryan Leaf? Will you get a complete and total bust like Charles Rogers or an absolute stud like Larry Fitzgerald?

No one has any idea what is going to happen with 1 exception, we ALL know Andrew Luck is going number 1 to the Indianapolis Colts and Robert Griffin III is going to the Washington Redskins at number 2. After that? It is anybody's guess. Mock drafts by the most highly respected mock experts and analysts will be blown out of the water by the 10th pick (I guarantee it). It's the beauty of the Draft, you never know what's going to happen. What's even better? Is when you are upset with a pick at the time but it turns out to be a great pick (my reaction last year to the 49ers picking Aldon Smith for example).

All of the GM's and Scouts and coaching staff have put in months and months of work, and the players selected by the teams will reflect that work, of course there are going to be some hits and some misses. My only advice to any fan tuning in tomorrow night is to NOT overreact to your teams pick, realize a lot of work and thought was put in to it, and even if the pick turns out to be a bust, there was logic and reason behind it. Don't hate on the pick immediately either, that player just might be the next Rookie of the Year.
