2026 NFL Draft

Also the CFL. It has been historically dark but AJO is a bonafide star, fresh off a title run. Zander Horvath was barely used but when he was he exploded. I bet we see more of him this next year.
Both those CFL backs should be rotational pieces in a NFL RB room.. Keep me posted on when those guys play! Will make an effort to watch CFL like never before!

I’m really impressed by Sam Scott and Andrew Burnette. Blazing 40 times for bigger backs!
 
With little over a week to go before the draft in Pittsburgh, some media outlets are already throwing out absurd numbers like 700,000 are expected to attend. Actually, given that Goodell, Eisen & Co. repeatedly claimed 600,000, at least 20 times the actual number, were at little Green Bay last year (metro population roughly 330,000), I'm hoping for the one million mark to be claimed for this year's Caste spectacle.

If 700,000 people are going to be smashed together in a small section of downtown Pittsburgh over a three day period, how come 40% of hotel rooms in Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) are still vacant? From an article:

Perry Ivery, the board chair of Visit Pittsburgh and general manager of the 167-room Oaklander Hotel, shared the latest data, which was as of April 1, with KDKA. It showed nearly 60% of the county's roughly 19,000 hotel rooms have been booked for the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of the draft.

So less than 12,000 hotel rooms have been booked so far. I guess most of the 700,000 have decided to pitch a tent along one of the three rivers, in order to commune with nature and the brigades of homeless people.

I thoroughly enjoy your observations and criticisms of the draft attendance lies over the years that are pushed during the draft broadcast. With the draft being held in Pittsburgh you are going to a have a field day exposing and calling out the NFL lies! Looking forward to it. I always felt the draft should have remained in New York City as it was prior to the league deciding to make it into a traveling circus spectacle. All of this of course for more shekels in the NFL's pocket. It's just another example of how watered down the sport has become along with the ridiculous international games, the NFL stretching out it's schedule to the point where at one point last season there was a game on everyday but Tuesday on top of the constant rule changes that occur every year.
