There is much I miss about covering the NFL.
The Draft is not one of those things.
Rather than think of something clever and obnoxious to write about the parade of pre-draft e-mails I get this time of year from ESPN, the NFL Network and Sirius Satellite Radio, I refer you to the end of this column from Richard Deitsch at SI.com.
I did consider listening in on Mel Kiper Jr.'s pre-draft conference calls and writing an amusing column in which I describe the dozens of highly specific questions and answers.
Then I slapped myself on the forehead, came to my senses and did not.

Mel does appear on ESPN Radio on weekends during the other 11 months of the year talking about other sports. He actually does a decent job.
Agree with Ken. He gives you his views of college players and prospects most of the time but he's pretty good. Much more tolerable than Todd McShay.
Actually the last month he has been on TV seems like 11 months. So everything equals out just fine.
