Draftnik
A draftnik is a person who studies professional sports leagues drafts.[1] Draftnik activities can include watching game footage of upcoming prospects and discussing mock draft rankings.[2] The term is most often used in reference to the NFL draft and was coined in the mid-1980s after the draft was first televised by ESPN.[citation needed]
The first draftniks are typically considered to be Joel Buchsbaum and Mel Kiper Jr.[3]
