The slooow NFL Draft begins

April 29, 2006

It's astounding how the first two rounds of the NFL take soooo long and how quickly the other -- and arguably more important -- rounds go. In the meantime, we get to hear Chris Berman and Mel Kiper ramble about guys' versatility and potential. Matt Leinart is quickly becoming this year's Aaron Rodgers, the highest-profile guy still awkwardly sitting in the green room waiting to get picked.
So how are the Lobos with a shot being drafted today spending their time?
DonTrell Moore, along with close friends and family, planned on renting a hotel suite in Roswell and watching the draft.
Hank Baskett said he'd be hanging out with friends and family in Clovis, possibly playing a softball game (a family favorite sport) or just watching TV. He said he barely found out Thursday what time the draft was on because he didn't want to get to fixated on watching it.
Ryan Cook said he will be at home with friends and family. His parents took the week off of work to relax during draft week.
I wrote two stories on Lobos hoping to get picked in the draft. The first was on the longshot guys who are hoping for late round or free agent spots. The other was on the big three New Mexico natives.
Check back for more updates as the draft crawls along.
