Three more days until the NFL Draft. It has been expanded to three days, complete with prime time coverage of round one. After months of dissecting every possibility, it is ready to finally happen.
The buildup has been all consuming on ESPN and the NFL network. Over the last month, the draft has been mocked and the prospects have been over-examined. If the teams don't have a good idea who they want by now, then they are in real trouble.
Here are the top ten signs that you have draft fever.
10. You hear the name Bruce Campbell and you think of this guy:

9. You own a Mel Kiper, Jr wig.
8. You are watching the FOX News and they are debating reinstituting the draft, and you go to NFL.com in a panic to ensure that it the selection meeting is still happening.
7. You have taken Thursday and Friday off so you can tailgate beforehand.
6. You just completed your tenth revision of your seven round mock, and you are still uncertain about about a receiver who is overvalued at pick 210, so you drop him to 215.
5. You get mad because you think this list is about you.
4. You name your first born son Mayock Kiper McShay.
3. You can name every seventh round pick from 1992 to the present.
2. You understand Al Davis's drafting pattern and its detrimental effects on society as a whole, thus completing algorithm that explains that if the Raiders don't agree with your sixth round pick it will lead to the world ending in 2012.
1. You have begun work on your 2011 mock draft.
