Sorry for my week long absence around here, I was all set to go with a draft preview on Thursday but didn't want to disturb the platform-changing gods and then was out of pocket all weekend. That being said, I did not get to see much of the draft live and therefore was not able to see the initial reactions of the talking heads on ESPN.
