NFL Draft Day, one of the most exciting, yet heartbreaking,
days of the year for many college football superstars. Tonight, May 9th, 2014, the annual
NFL Draft will be held, broadcasted live on television. This is more than just which college football
player will be on which team. It’s their
future, our future. History books can
and will be changed as some of the best college players are drafted into the
NFL tonight.
The draft will consist of 32 players being drafted a round,
for each of the 32 NFL teams, and 7 rounds total. Predictions of who will be drafted are almost
impossible. Draft pics will be made by
the teams head coaches, based upon which positions need filled and how much
potential each player may have. Each
year, different teams get moved up in position of who gets to make the first
picks, based upon who made the first picks the previous year. Just like every year, there are many great college
football stars that will be drafted tonight.
One of this year’s favorites, Johnny Manziel, a quarterback from Texas
A&M, who will most likely be one of the first picks of this years draft.
The order for this years draft is as follows:
1. Houston Texans
2. St. Louis Rams (from Washington Redskins)
3. Jacksonville Jaguars
4. Cleveland Browns
5. Oakland Raiders
6. Atlanta Falcons
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
8. Minnesota Vikings
9. Buffalo Bills
10. Detroit Lions
11. Tennessee Titans
12. New York Giants
13. St. Louis Rams
14. Chicago Bears
15. Pittsburgh Steelers
16. Dallas Cowboys
17. Baltimore Ravens
18. New York Jets
19. Miami Dolphins
20. Arizona Cardinals
21. Green Bay Packers
22. Philadelphia Eagles
23. Kansas City Chiefs
24. Cincinnati Bengals
25. San Diego Chargers
26. Cleveland Browns (from Indianapolis Colts)
27. New Orleans Saints
28. Carolina Panthers
29. New England Patriots
30. San Francisco 49ers
31. Denver Broncos
32. Seattle Seahawks
The picks are made based upon how each team did the previous
year. The seattle Seahawks won the Super
bowl last year so they will receive the very last draft pick. The Houston Texans had the worst record last
year, and therefore they will have the very first pick this year. In addition, there are a total of 32
compensatory and additional selections that are given to the lowest seeded
teams. This year, the draft will be very
exciting and I can’t wait to see who gets drafted where.
