DRAFT DAY THREAD
Posted: Wed Jun 25, 2008 3:21 pm
Versus chilling at the Saucer and giving interviews, this year, I have decided to stay home and watch the Draft with some bros on the new Big Screen.
With that in mind, I will be manning a draft thread on our forum. Barring anything crazy, it will be instantly updated.
I'm encouraging everyone to jump on and give their opinions on picks, trades, etc.
