The NFL draft has seen many changes over the years to its current form as a made for television spectacle, but the NFL is constantly searching for storylines. This year we have Johnny Football where will he go, what spot will he be drafted and ultimately will he live up to his potential. The Draft is the rare event where we as fans actually care about these guys when they are not wearing pads. Usually once those three hours on Sunday are over, we could care less about these men till the next Sunday that is unless they are involved in some sort of incident between the Sundays which seems to happen all too often anymore. Like Johnny Football the NFL Draft is built on hype and now with a primetime television event this week and the continuation throughout the weekend dragging this largely uneventful process on, it won't be long until new ideas are brought to the Draft. Lord Goodell is now upset at Radio City Music Hall in NYC where the event is usually, in the future the draft will probably be brought to stadiums and of course the NFL will charge you to show up. I can also see Hollywood stars announcing the picks, how about concerts between the picks and hosted by not the Commish but the stand up Comic of the day. Let’s face it we are only a few years away from Kevin Hart hosting the draft at AT&T (Cowboys) Stadium in front of 100,000 people with picks announced from Bradley Cooper, Kate Upton and Tom Hanks dressed in their team’s jerseys, with musical interludes by Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus. This is the new NFL draft, for all it is battered in the media, in the future we may pine for the "good old days" once Hollywood fully integrates itself into the NFL, and that now is "on the clock."
