Monday Morning Mock Draft: Let’s All Cool Off

People, it is hot here in Connecticut. We are at 91, but through some combination of atmospheric conditions and alchemy, it feels like 97. Sure, that’s laughably cool to you West Coast types, but to us pale, pasty New Englanders it is the 2nd Circle of Hell type weather. On top of that, it pretty much stopped raining several weeks ago, and now it hurts to walk barefoot across my lawn. Again, our idea of a “drought” is laughable to pretty much anyone from Colorado to the left as you look at the map, but the world revolves around the East Coast, and goddammit our whining will be heard!

That said, we need to do something to cool things off around here, and frankly the planet as a whole. Since it’s pretty clear no one in government is going to do it, I’ll have to do it through the draft. It’s the only power I have, and on this occasion I will use it for good.

Or at least to kill time during a Monday.

This week we’re drafting cool characters in entertainment. They need to be fictional, but it can be any form of media, be it stage, screen or, if you’re a real nerd, even literature. An actor portraying multiple cool roles can be drafted multiple times, but only once per role. A repeating character in a series of books, however, can only be drafted once.

The commissioner for today’s draft will also be my first pick, as I think it would be grossly unfair if I took him off the board by naming him commissioner, then took the character I had in mind for the first pick. And that’s just not cool.

Your commissioner and first pick:

It didn’t end all that well for him, (spoiler alert, I guess), but they don’t get much cooler than Luke.

The rest of you are on the clock.
