Why oh Why do we care so much

So hear it is, NFL draft weekend, the two days that sports fans hear way too much about for months, and then waste an entire weekend watching to see who their favorite team may choose to be the future of their franchise. I may bad mouth the draft by saying that we shouldn't care near as much as we all do, however I spent the whole weekend at work watching with great interest as the whole deal unfolded. This year I was transfixed for two reasons: 1. as always I wanted to see who would go to my favorite team, the Green Bay Packers. And 2. would my friend Kyle Steffes and his North Dakota State Bison teammate Craig Dahl hear their name called. At the time that I wrote this Post neither Steffes, nor Dahl had been chosen. As for my Packers, it was another disappointing draft from my perspective. The Pack desperately needs playmakers on offense, and they owe it to Brett Favre to get a few, but they spent their first round draft pick on Defense for the fourth straight year. They then picked several project type players who may not be able to step in Right away and contribute. They may have only one year left in the Brett Favre era, and they needed players who can step in and contribute right now, not guys who may be nice players in a few seasons. I had several playmakers in mind that they could pick up. Marshawn Lynch, Dewayne Jarrett, Michael Bush, Greg Olsen, or even trading for Randy Moss would have helped this team right now. But Lynch was gone when Green Bay picked, they passed on Jarrett and Bush for a back that didn't even start the whole year for Nebraska last year, and the watched as Moss went to the suddenly terrifying Patriots. Oh well, maybe there will be a diamond in the rough or two for the Pack. I shouldn't worry, just because I haven't heard of them doesn't mean that they are no good right? That's what all of us who may be upset about our teams draft need to tell ourselves.
