Monday Morning Mock Draft: Let’s Keep That Power On!

Guten Tag, drones. That title has nothing to do with this week's draft topic, it's just my plea to Eversource, our local utility company, as Winter Storm Hernando crashes into the part of the East Coast that matters, (everything north and east of Delaware, but nothing in Maine above, say, Portland),

Guten Tag drones. As you read this I am likely driving 90 minutes each way for a Court-ordered hearing that will last 15 minutes.  Also it is going to be between 90-95 and humid.  I'll be wearing a suit, and on the way home I'll probably be stopping at my mother's
