Printsomnolent \SOM-nuh-luhnt\, adjective:
1. Sleepy; drowsy; inclined to sleep.
2. Tending to cause sleepiness or drowsiness.
I'm sure actually attending the draft is an exciting experience for passionate NFL fans, but for a "college football first" guy like myself all the waiting and inane ramblings didn't do much beyond lull me into a somnolent state.

You have to do what I did.
Have the DVR running and pause the draft. Play Guitar Hero. After every couple of songs, go back to the DVR and fast forward to the pick and the immediate discussion, fast forward to the next pick and immediate discussion, rinse and repeat.
I'm with you
I enjoy seeing where everyone ends up but holy crap does it drag on and on. At least this year we saw some Bama guys get picked. Last year was just sad in that aspect. I’ll take NSD over the NFL draft any day.
There
was talk last year of speeding things up in order to reduce the time in between picks, guess they scrapped that.

They did that last year.
In the first round teams used to get 15 min. for a pick, now they get 10. This year’s first round was actually the shortest in recent history.
it definitely wasn't
a sitting and watching kind of thing but i gotta say it was great background for cleaning the house and working the back yard (volume maxed). my neighbors already know i’m a bit obsessed so noone said anything. unfortunately, i missed the ticker when it showed that glen, antoine and rashad were selected because they didn’t talk about it until several minutes later.
