The draft is honestly one of my favorite parts of the NFL season as a whole - not just the offseason. I can't wait either.

Me, too.

Back when I was a well-oiled machine, it used to be like a holiday for me. I would eat pizza once per year: draft day. I would eat donuts once per year: draft day. I would have M&Ms and cheese curls once per year: draft day.

Now, draft day is still just as awesome, but... uh... I now "indulge" in those gluttony vices much more frequently.
