Mocking The Draft on Draft Day

Tomorrow, the NFL holds an event that we fans pretty much view as a religious holiday. Tomorrow, we deck ourselves in colored jerseys, foam fingers, and yes, in some cases, face paint. Tomorrow, we will sit in front of a TV and watch 20-year-old men get interviewed by a hot 30-something blonde while a 40-something year-old man with cement hair either lauds them or calls them a potential “bust.”

Tomorrow, my brothers and sisters, is friggin NFL DRAFT DAY 2009!

And with the draft, we here at SB Nation and Mocking The Draft got you covered. We will have two SB Nation writers (TheSportsGuru and JasonB) at the draft, working the floor Chris Mortenson-style as they fish for breaking news on possible trades, surprise picks, etc. They will also be blogging about their experience at the draft, what it’s like to rub elbows with the big boys at the Mecca for the NFL off-season: Radio City Music Hall.

TheSportsGuru and JasonB will feed breaking news to us at MTD, and we will post it in our open threads all throughout the day. Also, look for podcasts from our writers on the scene, providing a fan’s take on the experience in NYC on Draft Day!

We’ll have multiple open threads tomorrow with Mocking Dan offering his take on draft selections, potential trades and maybe a quick bit on who would win in a Fight Club match: Todd McShay’s ego or Mel Kiper’s hair?

In addition, all your favorite NFL blogs will be live-blogging the draft, offering a fan’s take on their team’s picks. We’ll also have many of these writers popping in over here, offering their insight on draft day.

So, if you are looking for a centralized hub to talk all things draft on NFL Draft Day, look no further than Mocking The Draft!

He’s a bit of a liability in the run game, but his potential in the pass game was enough for Buffalo Rumblings.

It’s a high-potential pick for a Detroit defense that needs a solid pass rusher.
