Yes, that's right, I love April for football. It's NFL Draft time. I like listening to the NFL Channel on Sirius and I like reading Draft guides and websites that talk about the draft.

Okay, so the title says it all but it should be repeated.
I am the most optimistic Browns fan ever!

It’s no secret that the NFL draft draws worldwide interest. In fact, next to the Super Bowl, it is the most watched football-related event of the year. Now, it’s true that some of this mass appeal can be attributed to scheduling: its late April arrival each year serves as an oasis of sorts to the average football fan in the barren emptiness that separates the end of the Super Bowl and the start of training camp. Plus, it is the one true event that merges the collegiate and professional levels–thus, unifying two enormous pools of fans. So, this is all to say that I fully understand the inherent appeal of the system. The yearly NFL Combine, however, I believe to be an entirely different animal.

Going into training camp, there are always a lot of question marks for a team in a rebuilding phase. The 2008 Atlanta Falcons are no exception. Will Matt Ryan start week 1? Is Sam Baker an elite (or even starting) left tackle at the NFL level? Looking beyond these common questions, however, lies another set of questions, the resolution to which will go as far as any other in determining the Falcons success in 2008 and beyond. These questions revolve around the guys you haven’t heard much about. That you haven’t heard about them is the scary part.
