1. No sporting event has grown recently in terms of hype, popularity and anticipation like the NFL draft.
There was already massive thirst for this year's draft because of the five quarterbacks who went in the first round and because we didn't get a traditional draft last season.
Then all hell broke loose yesterday afternoon when the possibility of Aaron Rodgers's getting traded was thrown into the mix.
I'm sure that development got a few more eyeballs on ESPN, ABC and NFL Network, all of which aired the draft.
I sampled all three presentations throughout the night and have some thoughts.
