Is the draft over
Definition
A casual, often exasperated question inquiring whether a draft process—typically in sports like the NFL player selection, fantasy leagues, or even military conscription—has finally concluded.
Informally, a plea for confirmation that a preliminary version (e.g., writing draft) or selection event is complete, usually uttered amid mounting impatience.
Examples
