There is probably a lot of money and or threats involved in this pick, so it does not matter if Michael Sam is NFL quality or not, he is the cause celebe de jour.
My guess is, some NFL team has been told to draft him and make damn sure he is on the roster opening day.

I don’t know what it is about NFL but they like to push their “special” football players on us. First Tebow and now this clown. They suck as players but get all the attention for everything but football. It is crazy and why football is turning into a joke.

Maybe that’s why he came out. To assure himself a high pick in the draft and a hefty signing bonus.

I doubt anyone has to be told. He'll get picked up for one of three reasons:

One of the circus teams (Jets) will take him because winning is a distant second to headlines.
One of the desperate teams (Buffalo) will draft him just so someone, anyone, with a camera shows up at their training camp.
One of the do-gooder teams (Steelers) will pick him up to make a political statement.
