Warning: What you are about to read contains an unusual amount of pessimism from a Homer.

I love the Kansas City Chiefs; I love the NFL; and I usually love the NFL Draft.  I cannot remember a time when I did not watch the Draft in its entirety.  However, that will most likely change this year.

Don’t get me wrong, I will probably catch a few minutes of it, but other than that I am really apathetic about the draft because of the lockout.  I hope the Kansas City Chiefs get some great players when our time comes to turn in those cards, but if the NFL lockout costs us mini-camps and training camps, those NFL rookies will essentially be useless.  Since the NFL lockout looks like it will be heading into mid to late August, then those poor rookies won’t see much practice time let alone playing time. 

Where did I come up with the mid-August time frame?
