That means complete boredom for football fans. Training camp is just around the corner and everyone can talk about how great their team looks in practice.

“We talkin’ ’bout practice?” Yes, Allen. We’re talking about practice…but not on WalterFootball.com.

How do you make your franchise elite? And most importantly, what is the future of the NFL Draft? I’m going to examine previous draft picks and trades, and explain why they are pertinent to understanding what the NFL Draft is all about.
