LATE ROUND PICK SCRIPT

SOME KID - With the 4657th pick, the Jaguars select

Joey Joey Joey Shabadoo Jr......defensive tackle.......from Upper Uppington Barber College.

ANNOUNCERS - Ooooh, Joey Joey Joey Shabadoo Jr., Upper Uppington Barber College...you get this kid in the right situation and coach him up?  Could have the real gem of the draft right here.

I feel a bit like an old man yelling at kids to get off his lawn when it comes to drafts. Rather than it being a big event with a crowd, guest pickers, players in a waiting room, and all that... I loved it being in like a single quiet convention hall in the middle of a weekday, the commissioner stands at the podium, gets handed a card, reads the pick, and they move onto the next one as the commissioner keeps standing there. 

Sadly too much money available to go back to a simple quick and quiet efficient draft process now.
