Monday Morning Mock Draft: Come Sail Away

Guten Tag, drones.

It’s not that I forgot about the draft until right now, it’s that I’ve been swamped with other things, including walking the dog, getting to the gym, making sure I called Mom, making sure my kids called their Mom, (who I happen to be sleeping with), and also logging on to work, going through all my mail and drafted pleadings that piled up Friday and going into Monday with 6.9 hours already billed.

Nice.

That sort of effort, however, has me thinking vacation, and that reminds me that, when we went to dinner with friends last night we were discussing one of them going to St. Thomas, (unfortunately, not us), and then we talked about boats and how expensive they are, all of which is a long-winded way to both build up the word count and tell you that, this week, we’ll be drafting your favorite Yacht Rock songs.

Now, yacht rock has a definite vibe, but the exact definition is subjective.  Look at that list if you don’t believe me.  And also I don’t really like it.  Never mind that, this isn’t about me.  In order to lay out some rules, however, I will say that my feelings about yacht rock are similar to my feelings about pornography:  I know it when I hear it, and young people probably shouldn’t be exposed to it.

Suffice to say, if you think it’s yacht rock, you go ahead and draft it.  Arguments in the comments are encouraged, unlike in the stupid NHL, where they aren’t letting the Sabres and Les Habitants kick the crap out of each other like they so clearly want to.

With the first pick I will take Styx and “Come Sail Away” because I can’t stand to leave things unfinished.

Is Styx yacht rock?  Probably not.  Does ‘Come Sail Away’ make me think about boats?  Maybe.  And that’s good enough for me.  And should give you a good idea how loosely this draft will be enforced.

The rest of you are on the clock…
