Chiefs could just run down the list of Mel Kiper Jrs board instead of hiring a GM, would yield virtually the same results.

It's fun. Teams make WTF picks. You get to look at the girlfriends of all the guys in the green room. Certain players have red flags that are a big deal to some teams and not such a big deal to others. It's fun to see to whom and when they get drafted. And for fans of teams like the Chiefs, it's a great way to get excited about your team, because you're seeing the greater part of it get developed in front of your very eyes.
The draft was the biggest thing I cared about when the Chiefs were consistently going 4-12 and 2-14, and the more they get close to winning a playoff game without quite doing it under Andy Reid, the more the draft sets in as my favorite part of football.
Draft weekend is the best weekend of the year for me. I enjoy it more than Memorial Day weekend. I enjoy it more than the first Sunday of the regular season. And as I become an older and crankier man, I'll probably start to enjoy it more than Christmas some time from now, if the NFL is still a shell of what it is today.
