The NFL Draft is this weekend and if you've got 26 hours to kill over a 48 hour period, we highly recommend you tune into ESPN and ESPN2 to catch the glacially paced spectacle of 32 teams embarrassingly rich beyond your wildest dreams, take multi-million dollar guesses on 20 year old athletic specimen.
