Twas the night before the NFL Draft!


Twas the night before the NFL Draft, when all through the league
Not a player was stirring, not even the GM's.
The decisions are made and sealed with care,
In hopes that Roger Goodell would call their share.

The Coaches were tossing and turning, yet nestled all snug in their beds,
With visions of drafting their franchise player, danced in their heads.
And owners making sure they stay under the cap,
Had just settled their mind on mastering their agenda in a snap.

When out on Broadway arose the Commissioner,
Who sprang from his chair to see all the draftees.
Away to the podium he flew like a flash,
Tore open the envelope and began to gasp.

The moon on this night would shine on the new,
Draftees embrace their veterans success learning their knew.
When, what to our wondering eyes would appear,
But a trade that would effect our other peers.

With the Commissioner ready to announce,
We knew in a moment it was going to be our pick.
More rapid than return men he read the decision,
Waited at the podium to shake their hand to welcome their precision.

 Now Colts, now Redskins, now Vikings, now Browns!
On the clock Buccaneers, Rams,  on Jaguars, Dolphins, Bills and Chiefs !
To the top of the your pick to the top of your game!
Now play away! Play away! Play away all!"

The players spoke not a word, but went straight to work,
And filled all the positions, to learn from the veterans following their work.
Coaches were pleased what they saw beyond their nose,
They knew this was special of what was composed!

All the teams had finished their draft, now it was time to put into motion,
Their plan for success was their only notion.
 Luck and Griffin, Blackmon and Claiborne, Kalil and Richardson, Cox and Tannehill favorites of all will work to help their teams win it all!
"Happy Drafting  and success to all!"
