NFL Draft Challenge

Written by Trey Bradley

Apr 16 2008

Remember back in 2003, when the Vikings got caught up in trade talks and missed their pick at No. 7? We watched in amazement as Jacksonville and Carolina made the quickest picks in NFL Draft history, and Minnesota ended up with the ninth overall selection.

There seems to be a bizarre, sometimes painful moment in every Draft…and we want to get the Bleacher Report Humor Mill churning in anticipation of this year’s folly.

Some possible topics?

• Describe the pick that would most infuriate your fanbase. (Like Donovan McNabb to the Eagles in 1999.)

• Outline your prediction for most awkward interview. (See: Keyshawn Johnson-Dwayne Jarrett, 2007)

• Who’s going to be the biggest bust in the draft (i.e. which wide receivers are the Vikings and Lions taking this year)?

• Who will be the last player left in the green room and why? (The Thurman Thomas / Aaron Rodgers / Brady Quinn Award)

Any humorous slant on the Draft is fair game. Just be sure to tag your article with “NFL Draft Challenge.”

The writer who submits the article with the most reads will win two tickets to the opening NFL game of his or her choice for the 2008 season. The prize for the runner-up is a framed Mel Kiper Jr. autograph.

Good luck from all of us at Bleacher Report, your home for NFL Draft analysis.
