While other General Managers in the league are in full on panic mode I’m mostly just chilling. We got a head start on the process and have plenty of time to finish up our draft work. I have talked to the prospects, I’ve talked to our guys, I’ve made contact with some other key general managers in the league, and I’m pretty prepared. Sure I get a couple phone calls every now and then and I’m picking up and listening. But I think I’m going to take this weekend off. Sit back with some bourbon and a couple of Cubans, and relax. It pays to be proactive. I have a good idea of who I want to take, and next week I am going to be ready to hit the ground running. For now it’s all about keeping my ear to the ground and getting a little bit of R and R before the big event. I’m still returning calls, but I’m not reaching out to every prospect’s families to find out what they like to eat for dinner or how they put the toilet paper into the holder. It’s a long season and I know that to make it down the final stretch you’ve got to pace yourself. I’m not panicking, I know I will be ready come draft day.
