The NFL Draft would be much more compelling TV if they made the hundreds of players gather on a hot, dusty field and had teams pick like in old days of choosing up sides, players kicking at the dirt and avoiding eye contact with anyone as they agonize over the wait, the humiliation and tension growing. The last pick would be some kicker from Kudzu U or the like. You remember that kid -- clumsy and annoying, boogers hanging from his nose, headgear braces, glasses taped in the middle and he was constantly pushing them up from the end of his nose with a dirty thumb. Oh wait, I was that kid. Well, no matter. I'd definitely watch.
