We're less than a month away from the 2022 NFL Draft. Now don't get me wrong here, I love the NFL Draft, especially the first round. But what I find hysterical about the absolute madness of the first round picks is that all fans believe that one player is going to change the fortunes of their favorite franchise overnight. The goal is drafting the right guy, namely a quarterback who can help change a losing team to a winning team within a few years. Not a few days. So chill out on the hype and give your first round pick a chance to prove his worth.
