Eeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Folks, it’s time…
…time for the NFL DRAFT!
Ok so, I know, sports, I get it. Tumblr doesn’t seem to be too big on sports. When sports has been mentioned with the trans folks I’ve befriended, the term “sportsball” gets tossed around, much like a ball in actual sports.
But guys, gals, and enbies… I love sports.
Now, primarily I’m just a New York Jets fan, something which has led to much sports related misery as we’re the team that has the longest playoff drought across the four major US sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL)… our last playoff game was a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship Game (one game away from the Superbowl) on January 23rd, 2011.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE.
But today, today is the day where that starts to change, for today is the NFL DRAFT. Today kicks off a three day selection festival where teams will pick incoming collegiate players, filling needs, drafting best player available, or reaching hopelessly for prospects that look good in shorts but otherwise have questionable ability.
It’s basically Christmas for NFL fans; we get to open up new presents for our teams.
Something I used to do back in my Corpse Run Comics days as the Annual Corpse Run Mock Draft. For the uninitiated, a mock draft is where someone makes predictions on who will be picked and where, and to what teams.
Now, Corpse Run isn’t running anymore, but hey, now there’s I’m Still Alex!
So without further ado, here’s the FIRST ANNUAL I’M STILL ALEX MOCK DRAFT!!
Almost assuredly guaranteed to be wildly incorrect!
