The NFL draft has become big business. It's must-see television rivaled only by a good season of The Bachelor in terms of the best reality programming every year. Millions of fans watch to see where their favorite players will be drafted and who their favorite teams will draft. They learn the stories of the players now part of their team, but what about the stories we aren't told on our phones, tablets and televisions?
They follow the biggest storylines as they play out, but they don't see the machinations that lead to those cleanly packaged pick announcements, on-stage embraces and trade announcements.
