It's time once more for NFL personnel honchos to play "Pin the Tail on the Donkey."

In other words, the pro football draft will be taking place shortly. And much like 8-year olds at a birthday party playing that ageless blindfold game, team mucky-mucks will once again fail much more than they succeed in making picks they hope will lead to Super Bowl glory.

Like partying kiddies, ball club talent execs, most of whom have never snapped on a chin strap, will end up metaphorically pinning tails on the donkey's nose and toes — anywhere but the butt. Sometimes they'll totally miss the animal and nail the freshly painted walls to the shrieks of homemakers (i.e. their fans).
