NFL franchise needs that go beyond the draft

The NFL draft will be held in basements throughout the land this week. These proposals won’t help every franchise, but they will make the world, or at least the league, a better place.

Yes, my picks might stink, but remember — they can’t be as bad as Dimitrius Underwood or Troy Williamson.

My first annual Mocking Draft:

1. Cincinnati: Please trade the pick anywhere for anything. Please don’t bury Joe Burrow in Bengal mediocrity. Send him somewhere more interesting, such as New York. Or Winnipeg.

2. Washington: The NFL grows a conscience and forces the worst franchise in sports to draft a new nickname.
