Spice up the NFL's draft contest

The NFL is currently running a contest that sounds pretty interesting at first: "Announce a pick live at the NFL Draft." Hey, that'd be exciting, right? You get to announce the Rams' pick of Chris Long, Jake Long or whomever?

Then I read the fine print and found out the prize is to announce a pick in the seventh round. Yeah, that's not so exciting, though it would get you in the same room as Suzy Kolber. But, hell, the seventh round? Just announcing the pick wouldn't be enough for me.

For a seventh-rounder, the NFL should give the winning fan the right to make the pick. Now that'd be interesting.
