Flashback to the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. For me, and a ton of other “draftnik’s,” there’s a whole lot of work that goes into preparing for this day. Months of watching film, breaking down players, and forming evaluations is finally about to payoff—not only as an analyst, but as a fan as well.
One of the best aspects of breaking down players so incessantly is that you immediately have an idea of the player that your favorite team selects. It also builds so much drama as the players you’ve studied and love either get snatched up by other teams or hopefully make their way down the board to where your favorite team selects.
