Introduction

Welcome to my blog, my name is Zack Hilt and I will be discussing about the NFL draft. I am an avid football fan both in the pro and college level. The NFL draft is one of my favorite events of the year. The idea of spending one pick that you will be investing your future and millions of dollars on is a very important thing for sports teams. One wrong pick by a scouting crew could set back a team for years from being contenders and end up being a waste of money. People actually spend their whole careers making a living watching and scouting players for various teams. I find debating picks and looking at college players that will one day be stars in the pro level to be an exciting event.

In my future post I will be going round by round posting mock drafts starting from round one and hopefully all the way up to the seventh round. In each pick I will discuss what I think about the certain player, some information from his college days and why the team picked that player. I will also post my own Top-5 prospects for every position. As it gets closer to events such as the Senior Bowl, East-West Shrine Game, Texas vs. The Nation Game and the combine, I will be going over notable people who performed well and how that changed my mock draft and position rankings.

Due to the nature of the draft, it will be a very opinioned blog. The drafts outcome is unpredictable and is relevant to how each individual perceives a prospect. I will try to not value any team over another to keep it fair, but why I think each team makes a certain choice will be in my own opinion. The draft order I put the picks in will be relative to how the teams are seeded in the playoffs at the time of my post. It will be impossible to have a correct order of draft picks by each team till the Super Bowl is over. For example, right now the colts would be picking last because they are seeded first in the playoffs and have the best record in the NFL. But this is subject to change based on the outcome of the playoff games in the next few weeks.
