Charlie Licht, the 11-year-old son of Tampa Bay GM Jason Licht, has made friends with several kids of NFL GMs from league functions. He plays Madden with some of them. Hanging around his dad while Jason Licht made a slew of pre-draft trade inquiries was fascinating for Charlie, but Dad at one point thought son might have heard too much. "Charlie," Jason said to him one day, "you CANNOT tell any of those kids what I'm thinking if you heard anything."

It was that kind of draft this year: Kids had to learn what "off the record" means. Everything was new. Licht's never home this time of year, and now he was captive in the house for five weeks. Licht said: "The kids got used to me being home and just walked into the office sometimes. I got used to walking out to the kitchen for a snack. We had all our meals together, like a normal family. It really was a new reality for us." Watching him on draft night when his kids walked in, you could tell how at ease they all were with each other.
