Draft Day

The day is finally here. The day where every fan puts on their team's colors and watches them select the players of the future.

For fans of teams like New England, Indianapolis, and Pittsburgh, it is a day of addition. Which addition will complement the currents stars already on the roster. Which rookie will add the most to a powerful team.

On the other hand, for fans of teams like Detroit, St. Louis, and Miami, the recent drafts have been days of hope. Hope that their first round pick will be a star. Hope that the draft will lead to a good year. Hope that they wont have to pick so high again the next year.

This year's draft has been full of speculation and questions. Will Cam Newton go number one? Will the Bengals take a QB? Will teams trade down to get more picks?

Kiper and McShay have both changed their "Mock Draft" board frequently, but with time running out to change it, the board is starting to line up nicely.

As of right now, Cam Newton is supposedly the number one pick overall. Eight of the past ten number one picks have been quarterbacks.

Number two overall, which belongs to Denver, is rumored to be Marcell Dareus. It would be the second year in a row that the number two pick has been a dominant defensive lineman. (Suh to the Lions last year)

At number three, many questions come up. Will the Bills take a quarterback like Blaine Gabbert? Or will they go defense, and take a guy like Von Miller?

All of these questions will be answered tonight, on ESPN, at eight o'clock.

As Adam Schefter tweeted, "Feels like Christmas morning"!
