(selections of Tuesday 4/28/2015)
The 2015 NFL Draft is upon us and for a lot of teams this is the pre-season Super Bowl for those trying to bounce back from a disappointing previous season. Even with only a few days away from the first pick being announced by Roger Goodell, there still is a lot of uncertainty:
Who will be the No. 2 selection…will Tennessee keep the pick or will they be swayed by a nice bounty offered up by some team desperate to get a new quarterback?
Will there be any trades?
Which position will have the most selections, they say receiver is once again a deep position but could this be the year of the edge rusher?
Which university will have the most representation. Alabama and Nick Saban have been the king of the drafts but could we see a former powerhouse rebound with multiple selections on the first day?
Everyone is an expert when it comes to the Draft and nowadays everyone has his/her version, but here is one more from the guys at Sports Q&A. We also included some picks by other websites that we follow to give you an idea of how truly off most of these picks are.
Be sure to check out our podcast that will be posted soon to hear our logic behind many of these selections (I think Al just had a dartboard and just guessed.)
