The fun is watching the games and hopefully getting wins. It's complete and utter speculation and assumption coupled with emotions ranging from this is the best pick ever to this is the worst draft in history and everything in between. No one has a clue how it will turn out with any given player. None, zero.
It's all this excitement or misery around nothing more than hope and best guesses. Pretty much none of the guys we draft will ever become starters, let alone start immediately and/or contribute positively. It is such a long process with such a small success rate over years that it's just so slow and boring to me. lol.
It only took reading a couple pages of draft stuff on here to remember why the "soap opera" part is so uninteresting. Let's play some meaningful football! The actual fun part!
With that said, don't get me wrong, I am not trying to be negative. My interest is simply the game. I am not down on the Bengals. I am excited and hopeful for this season. I hope our draft picks all end up being HOF'ers.
I like watching the players drafted react after achieving their goals and dreams. It is something only a tiny percent of players ever accomplish and it's cool to see them make it to the NFL. Plus it is the biggest event between the the end of the season and the 1st game of the season. So it gives us stuff to talk about.
