It did take a while.
But I love the draft so I was happy to do it.

Tbh, that was one of the reasons I did it.
To raise interest.

You seem to know more about the NFL. One thing...I keep hearing about the NFL Combine...what is it? And when is the draft?

I also keep hearing something about "college players stock going up and down" after Bowls...What does it mean?

The combine is a week long event in Indianapolis where college players who are eligible for the Draft are invited to go and take part in different tests both physical and mental.
Here's a video of Cam Newton at the combine

NFL scouts and general managers will attend and take notes on players they like the look of. It's a huge event tbf, it can determine where players can get drafted.

Bowl games are basically end of season matches that involve the best teams from each division.
Players stock will rise if they play well in bowl games, impresses at pro days and at the combine.

Take someone like Michael Brockers (who I drafted to the Broncos). Half way through the college season, he was seen as a early - mid 2nd round pick. He finished the season very well, played well in the bowl game, has showcased his athletic ability and now there are some mock drafts that have him being drafted in the top 10.

Gutted mate.
I don't have college tomorrow thankfully.
Wouldn't go in even if I did tbh.

Has anyone seen the figures on NFL.com where it says how much food will be consumed in America over the course of tonight?
It's mind-blowing.
