I really never followed the draft until 2010.  Before that my wife and I didn't have Satellite.  We couldn't really afford it.  The most I ever did was look up the picks online the day after.  I remember being disappointed by our pick of Matt Jones, and I remember having no idea who most of the players were.  I think most of the players I liked were based on their names.  


In 2009 after the digital television switch, we got satellite television.  Of course with my terrible luck, the Draft came on the same time as one of my wife's shows.  So I figured "Okay, I'll follow it on the internet this year."  That didn't work out either, because our phone line went down on Wednesday before the draft, and wouldn't be fixed until Friday afternoon.  But I was still determined.  I got in my car and turned on the radio and tried to find a station that covered the draft.  Lucky for me, I found one.  It was pretty hot outside, so it wasn't easy sitting in the car listening, but I wanted to know who the Jags would pick.  "Not Tebow," I said to myself.  I was convinced he wouldn't be good.  No, I wanted Jimmy Clausen.    I was convinced he would be a good Quarterback.  


Of course the station turned to commercials before the Jags pick.  To give them credit though, they did talk about the Jags picking Tebow or not.   Then I heard the name:  Tyson Alualu.  All I could think was "Who?!"  The people on the radio when they announced it sounded confused too.  I went back in, and forgot about the draft until the next day and our internet was fixed.
