Every year, there's that one pick that leaves us all scratching our heads. A guy you like, who you've convinced yourself is a future Hall-of-Famer despite having never stepped foot on an NFL field in anything but his underwear, is just sitting there and the Cowboys are on the clock.
You're sitting at the edge of your chair, a stupid cheeto-encrusted grin on your face. This is it. The year the Cowboys finally take one of your pet cats.
You've spent the last 3 months extolling the vitue of this guy to anyone that would listen. Correcting other people's mock drafts with, "Why take that guy when you could take this guy?" You know his 40 time, bench reps and wonderlic score by heart. You're pretty sure his sweat is the cure for all sorts of terrible diseases that currently plague humanity.
You can't believe all those other teams were so stupid as to pass on him, don't they know what you know? Those fools! Jerry won't make that mistake, he's the best GM in the world!
The card comes in and you start repeating said players name over and over, maybe somehow your desperation will manifest as a voice in Jerry's head. You're watching the Cowboys War Room live feed, they're shaking hands, it's worked!
The commissioner takes the podium and announces ... it sure as hell isn't your guy. In fact, it's a guy that all the draft sites said would go two rounds later, or even worse, a guy you've never heard of at all. Or EVEN worse, it's another kicker!
You let out a stream of profanities that sends the dog scurrying out of the room, he's used to this by now. If you didn't see it coming, he certainly did.
How could Jerry do it? Pass on your guy?! Does he know who you are?! He's the worst GM in the league! The absolute worst!

We've all been there, who do you have?
