the official 2011 NFL Draft thread

It starts in a bout 7 and a half hours. Even though drafting on Thursday night just does not feel right during a lock out I'm still very psyched.

I don't like the Thursday start time. I preferred it when day #1 was Saturday. I'd watch the draft sporadically throughout the day . . . maybe sit in a sports bar for a few hours and toss back a few cold beers.

I doubt if I'll get picked...

I have similar draft day memories. One of my most fond memories as a kid was wasting the weekend watching the NFL Draft with my dad. We watched literally every pick.

Go Pack go!

A little under 2 hours before it kicks off, I'm getting anxious.

There seem to be a lot of hugging going on with the commisioner. They're in a labor war and they're hugging?

the rookies must have not gotten that memo

Honestly, I think the rookies are just being polite. If you watch any of it again you'll see the commissioner is initiating just about all of it. The dude creeps me out.

I'm very happy with all the Packers picks so far.
