The day before the draft...

Twas the day before the draft; when all across the land
Everyone seemed happy; except for booing Jets fans
The draft boards were hung in war rooms with care
Teams hoping their number one pick would still be there
The players wrestled with thoughts of their new threads
While visions of large amounts of money danced in their heads
And owners were thinking of how to make a rookie salary cap
Al Davis had just started to awaken from his long winter nap
When out of the Lions' room there arose such a clatter
It seemed they had just signed quarterback Matthew Stafford
Away to the televisions we ran with a laugh
Knowing Detroit had finally started the draft
The lights were turned up so we could see Kiper glow
While he mocked McShay about how his picks blow
When, what to our wondering eyes should appear
The NFL Countdown crew was finally here
With a giddy little host, so lively and quick
Berman was too anxious for the Rams to make the next pick
More players on the stage with jerseys they came
Roger Goodell mentioned them all by the right name
Now Smith!, now Curry!, now Crabtree and Jackson!
On Sanchez, on Raji!, on Orakpo and Maclin!
To the top of the draft! to the top of them all!
Be lucky your not one whose draft stock will fall!
Coaches kept to themselves but you could see a little sly
As the player they wanted kept getting passed by
They would grab the phone as fast as they could
Knowing that their draft was going to turn out good
And then, in a spark, we heard on the speakers
That Kiper thought two teams had just grabbed sleepers
The Vikings were almost out of time and started running around
Wondering if they would get passed again in the first round
Over in the green room there was a player still there
Knowing this must how Quinn felt the time he was here
Then a loud noise came popping in from the back
It looked like the Patriots were putting some videos in their packs
Another figure standing with his eyes twinkling, looking so merry
Coming from the new stadium and the crowd yelled JERRY!
He cracked a smile but we could see it was just a show
He couldn't have been more happier about getting rid of T.O.
While we were waiting for the next big move to be made
Drew Rosenhaus looked on waiting for his clients to be paid
Out came the last player from the green room with a big round belly
When he ran with his shirt off it looked like a blob of jelly
He was chubby and plump as if he had not trained
Even though he hired an agent before his last college game
Roger tried to finish the day but started to feel a little sick
Knowing he would soon have to deal with the problem known as Michael Vick
There were some who will be drafted that will go straight to work
They will fill their teams with joy knowing they aren't jerks
And those who pass on Curry and Crabtree will be out of their mind
They are the best players that will be drafted in two thousand and nine
Soon camps will come and head coaches finally get to blow their whistle
It will only be a matter of time before we see the first dismissal
As Mr. Irrelevant was chosen, the fans started to reflect on the past
The last words were spoken, THIS CONCLUDES THE 2009 DRAFT!
