NFL confirms 30 players will be in attendance at Draft

You're no doubt familiar with that 20-minute segment before the start of the NFL Draft each year when 30 guys in suits stand around on risers after marching out like Nobel Prize winners, making awkward conversation with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

We know the names of the 30 people who will participate in the odd tradition this season.

This has no value whatsoever, and I won't insult you with an attempt to connect any player here to the Steelers (i.e. their first round pick might be there Thursday night!). I will give you the opportunity to crack jokes about that particular process, or the fact the NFL came up with a press release announcing these names.

Consider it the right opportunity to slam the draft and everything associated with it.

To your task.
