Pretty amusing, huh?</p> <p>Day 1's final comment count (meaning the last time I'm adding them all up) came out to 1,239.</p> <p>Doing the time math, MHR members were responsible for 2,230 comments during the two day selection process. I'm not typically around for game threads, so I don't know how it compares, but considering it is essentially a two day festival of watching guys sit at a desk, names popping up on various screens, and a ton of second-guessing and analysis by those of us who like to pretend we understand (or in the Jack WIlliams pick, just try to rationalize it), I think it's a pretty impressive feat.</p> <p>By my estimation, I contributed about 400 of those, so I apologize for being so darn talkative. Chances are very high I'll return to mostly lurking and occasionally chiming in during college football season on draft prospects.</p> <p>Doing some quick skimming, I don't believe Oakland ammassed more than&nbsp;50 comments for the <strong>entire</strong> draft, while the boys over at Arrowhead Pride rung up a cool-looking 1,113. I didn't see a Chargers blog listed, so uh, I guess we had more than them? Of course, if I lived in San Diego, I might not be inclined to try to run a blog, either.</p> <p>It was mentioned by Jon Tellerud, I believe (if not, my bad) that this upcoming college season we would have some members divvy up the conferences in an attempt to unearth the gems ourselves and be more prepared for the Eddie Royal selections. I, for one, am all over the idea and would immediately like to sign up.</p> <p>All that being said, I want to thank everyone who worked hard over the weekend to make the draft a fantastic experience at MHR and let me voice my opinion a ton of times. It was truly an awesome idea and I think next year an MHR Draft Party should be held somewhere because...that would be so awesome. That's all too far in the future, I suppose, so we'll see how things turn out. It would be cool to have our own type of War Room, complete with notes and reports from all the representatives of the different conferences. Chances are, I'm still taking the draft way, way too seriously, so my apologies.</p> <p>That's all I have. Thanks for the fantastic weekend. Back to isolation I likely go =p</p>
