P-4


I am writing my choice blog on how I had to work on draft day.  I forgot to request off from work a couple weeks before the draft so by the time I realized that, I could not get off.  By the time the draft came around, Darrow’s was poppin’.   I had no time to sit down and watch most of the first round.  I was stuck in the kitchen washing dishes.  Every chance I could, I went out to the bar to see if a team had picked their player.  They really need to give teams less time to draft a player.  It literally takes forever.  I was really upset that I finally got to see who the Bills had picked, but when I got out there, they had traded away their pick.  So that was really really cool.  I went back into the kitchen and was greeted by more dishes!  That was awesome.  I kept missing each pick and was getting more and more frustrated.  Finally I got out to the bar and saw that it was the Bill’s turn to draft.  I waited patiently for them to draft and it took forever.  When I saw that they had drafted E.J. Manuel, I was shocked.   I thought for sure that they were going to draft Nassib in the first round.  After that, I went back to work and at about 10:45 I got to sit down and watch the Green Bay Packers draft in the 26th round.  They ended up picking Datone Jones, a defensive end from UCLA.  He looked like a beast.  The Packers really needed some good defensive guys, so I was excited.  I cooked up some food for the road.  I made some garlic parmesan chicken wings and was on my way home.  At least I got to see the Bills and Packers draft.
