THE much awaited 2015 NFL DRAFT DAY is finally HERE!!!!
The much awaited 2015 NFL Draft Day is finally here!!! Fans and Sports pundits and Teams and those waiting to be drafted will wait with baited breath as the annual NFL Draft will kickoff tonight. Already rumors are swirling around and have been for weeks as to will the Buccaneers keep the first pick or trade it? Which QB will be selected first? Will it be Marcus Mariota or will it be Jameis Winston? Which position player(s) will there be a run on, where instead of teams taking the best player available with their draft pick, we will instead see players at a specific position being chosen as teams have decided to follow the trend or will they buck the trend and take a player that has somehow slid down and they chose him instead. We have all come to expect lots of wheeling and dealing as teams jockey to get the players they seek. Teams will trade up and teams will trade down and as the Draft goes into the middle to late rounds, teams will be looking for that hidden gem that other teams have passed on which they hope will turn into a very good to great player for the down the road. Some teams continue to trade down or trade their pick(s) to other teams to stockpile draft picks to rebuild or add depth to their rosters. Some NFL Teams seem to have great results on draft day year in and year out where as some teams seem to screw up every year even when they have numerous yea of top 10 draft slots. Everyone has their own opinions as to who will be selected first, who each team should pick with their allotted draft picks and what each team needs as they choose players in the draft. All teams have their draft day war rooms filled with data and knowledge on each player and who they will pick when they are on the clock but as we all know the drafting of players never goes as planned and each team needs to have 3 or 4 contingency picks should the player they want not be available. It is especially fun for the fans to watch the draft and watch to see who is taken with each pick and also to see who their favorite team or teams chose as they draft goes through each round. Those who have been in mock drafts and slot players for each team in the draft order often find out it never goes as they wish and even those who get paid to rank players and forecast where players are going to go and to which teams realize that possibly outside the Top 5 or even the Top 10 picks, rarely does it go as it should. That is what makes the NFL Draft so exciting but also so frustrating, for no one knows who will actually be available for their Team to draft when it is their turn or who their Team will actually draft as well. When the Draft is over, everyone will debate who got the best player(s). who had the best draft, and which team(s) filled their needs the best. So buckle up everyone, sit down tonight with friends, family, colleagues or just by yourself for this is to many the official start of the NFL Season when you hear those famous words we all live by on Draft Day and they are, The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on the Clock!!!!! @cupofjoeinthed
