    Best 'feel good' story of the draft?

    Jaylon Smith drafted by Dallas?
    Moeritz Beohringer drafted by Minnesota, and Mayock's call to Zimmer that preceded it?
    "RB" (well, QB) Keenan Reynolds going to Baltimore, the first QB from Navy to get drafted since Staubach?
    Something else?

    Coleman overcoming cancer and celebrating the pick at the hospital in which he was treated.
    Remember Kevin Everett in your thoughts.

        Both Roger Goodell and the Patriots players getting booed every time they hit the podium.

          I was happy for Jack when he was selected, but that doesn't come close to Coleman.

          I wasn't watching today, Mayocks call to Zimmer ?

            Beohringer was in studio on NFLN. Mayock talked into the camera to friend Mike Zimmer ( HC Vikings ) to draft him, all in fun. 20 minutes later, they drafted him.

              Mayock called out Zimmer before the Vikings pick, and also talked to him on the phone, telling him he should draft Mo Bo...and he did.

                    The best I felt was when I found out there was actually a guy named Willie Beavers.

                    Finally, a name that may rival that of the great Dick Butt-kiss...

                      He plays a little bit stiff, and was susceptible to penetration in college. Definitely a project.

                        I was Born 30 Miles away from Moritz hometown. Awesome story. Vikings just became my secondary team. Thank goodness that he did not went to the Patriots. Three Germans on the Patriots would have been unbearable.
