"Instead of reaching out to Mel Kiper, Todd McShay, and others, I took a look at the draft board and thought about something more in keeping with sports radio."
"GMs, scouts, and coaches are certainly busy in the time leading up to the draft and of course on draft day. The same type of schedule holds true for the broadcasters."
