If you’re an avid sports fan like me, then you are probably suffering from the same ailment I am, which usually rears its head around this time of year. It’s a rare ailment, and little is known about it medically. I am actually one of the leading experts in the field. The sickness is called Draft Over-Exposure Syndrome, or DOES for short.  This ailment is not serious, but it can spread rapidly, as the major cable network ESPN is the source of this virus. There are no physical symptoms, and most of the infected are unaware they are carriers.So how can you tell if you have been infected with this silent time-waster? Ask yourself these questions:When you hear the letters E, S, P and N in that order, do you think of Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay?Do you know more about Tim Tebow than his parents?When you hear the word draft, do you think of cold air or New York? Do you know the names of football players who didn’t have spectacular seasons in non-power conferences?Are you doubting the ability of players you have seen play in person and thought they had the talent to play in the NFL?If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have been infected with DOES.Nine out of 13 doctors agree that DOES is quite possibly one of the most time-wasting diseases this time of the year.Persons suffering from DOES spend hours each day watching ESPN as Kiper and McShay break down what each team could possibly do this weekend or sit at computer screens and read countless blogs by various experts debating what each NFL team needs to assess in the NFL draft.    People infected with DOES most likely have the various experts’ mock drafts memorized and have engaged in countless debates with others as to who should be the No. 1 pick in the draft. If their Google searches were monitored, the most searched names would be Sam Bradford, Ndamukong Suh and Jimmy Clausen.DOES also makes its victims behave irrationally. They will often discuss the bad attitudes of players they have never met and ignore outside information when making a decision about who will be selected first.For instance, DOES sufferers are often sold with Bradford being the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft. They ignore the fact that the team with the No. 1 pick is the St. Louis Rams.The Rams allowed their quarterback to be sacked 44 times last season — the seventh-highest total by an NFL team this past season.Bradford has an arm but is coming off a shoulder injury he suffered as a result of getting sacked. What makes the sack total seem worse is that the Rams finished 31st in the NFL, averaging just 5.5 yards per attempt, yet completed nearly 58 percent of their pass attempts.This average means they attempted a lot of short passes but still allowed their quarterback to be sacked quite a bit even though he isn’t holding the ball too long.Taking that into consideration, throw Bradford on the field with that situation. The Rams would ask him to perform without a supporting cast and risk even greater injury by taking more hits than he would need to if he was drafted by a team with a better supporting cast.If you look at the quarterbacks who have been successful in their rookie campaigns, such as Mark Sanchez, they have been on teams where the quarterback was the only thing missing. Quarterbacks like Matthew Stafford of the Lions and Alex Smith of the 49ers both looked less than impressive in their first seasons, while Sanchez and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger led their teams to the playoffs in their rookie seasons.The point is it’s illogical to take Sam Bradford No. 1 overall.The only remedy to DOES is time. Watching NFL teams select their players of the future is the only medicine to these poor patients.Amos Morale is a 22-year-old history senior from Houston.
