I enjoy it when Cal players are involved. So not watching today. I also watch a live broadcast of the draft of Japanese baseball league every year and it starts at 2am.
I enjoy the chess game aspect of it. The trades, the philosophies, the priority picks, etc. Do I live and die with it? No. Is it solid background noise while I do something else and I can sneer and hoot in disbelief every 10 or 20 minutes? Sure.
Nah, I love a good draft. It's fun - after Cohan ran the Warriors into the ground and they were always the most inept franchise in the NBA, Clippers included, it was the only exciting thing in the whole shiitty franchise...
NBA and NFL Drafts have been fun ever since...love listening to the idiot analysts miss year in and year out on players...
Alex Smith was the epitome of mediocre, serviceable, underwhelming first pick overall QB. Somehow he retires a fan favorite and CBS calls him "one of the most accomplished top draft picks ever"

I am still surprised that fans will spend hours and days of their lives following a draft.

Also, the fashion choices are always good entertainment.
No joke, never understood this.

How perfect is it that at the same time Alex Smith retires after a solid but unspectacular career, Aaron Rodgers is the reigning NFL MVP....again.
Nice work, Mike Nolan...you f-ing boob.
True, OTOH Nolan didn't do Alex Smith any favors.
Nolan is awful. It was such a delight seeing him get shirt-canned in DAL after his defense was so embarrassing.
Alex Smith was never going to be a Hall of Famer, but when Harbaugh came in it was clear how badly the previous coaches had done with him.
Sure, a lot of it's hindsight, but the entire Niner organization screwed the pooch on that one.

eh - as a first round pick, he was solid, as #1, yeah the comparison to Rodgers it looks silly. But I'd argue his stats alone don't do him justice.
Gotta think that's entirely bc he came back from that brutal Theisman-type injury.
Take that out of the equation, he definitely had a solid, but pedestrian career.
