Late, great draftnik Joel Buchsbaum remains one of a kind

I wonder what the late, great Joel Buchsbaum would think about how the NFL draft has become such a spectacle?

In my book – and the books of so many others – Buchsbaum was the greatest draftnik to turn on a film projector and later a computer to compile information on college prospects.

If he hadn't died of natural causes in 2002 in his Brooklyn apartment – way too young at 48 – the longtime NFL editor of Pro Football Weekly would have adjusted to the times.

Can you imagine how much information Joel would have because of social media?
