INTERVIEWER
 
Hey Pete, just wanted to ask a few quick questions about the draft.  How are you feeling?
 
PETE ALEMAN
 
Boy, you know, I’m feelin’ really nervous.  I’ve worked really hard and a lot of people have helped me get to this point, I’m just hoping the night goes smoothly and I end up on a team that is a good fit, both for me and the squad.  The most important thing for me is a good fit, I'm hoping whatever GM I end up playing for feels the same way.
 
INTERVIEWER
 
Can you give us a little insight on what you’ve been through the past few days?
 
PETE ALEMAN
 
Oh man, it’s been hectic.  I’ve had interviews with almost every team, ins-and-outs of the team, what I’m looking for, what they’re looking for… the works.  Everyone seemed super great and I’m feeling really lucky that I can be a part of the league, I think I’m going to be really happy no matter where I end up.
 
INTERVIEWER
 
Speaking of: can you give the readers a feel for where you think you’re going to land?
 
PETE ALEMAN
 
*chuckles* Oh come on now, even if I had an idea of it, which I don’t, you know I couldn’t tell you.  It’s god’s honest truth that I have no idea where I’m going to end up.  I’ve had discussions with almost every team’s scouting department / GM, and there's a ton of really great talent in this draft class that I'm going to have to compete with for early draft placement...  However I know the amount of work I've put in, and I am very excited to see what's going to unfold once the draft goes live at 9.
 
INTERVIEWER
 
So, we’re about an hour and a half from the start of the draft, what’re you going to be doing until then?
 
PETE ALEMAN
 
Well, as I’m sure you can imagine the adrenaline is high.  My heart rate is jacked.  From now until the draft I’m going to try to calm down a bit, hang with my family, wait for the call with, hopefully, good news.  
 
INTERVIEWER
 
Well, I won’t take up any more of your time then.  Good luck this evening, we’ll talk after the draft!
 
PETE ALEMAN
 
Thanks, looking forward to discussing it with you.
