The NFL announced the 23 players who will attend the draft at Radio City Music Hall two weeks from Thursday. Twenty-three frickin' players. This is gonna get ugly very quickly. Imagine this. Some players are going to get dressed up in their thousand-dollar suits, bring out the whole fam, wear some bling on their wrist and watch their first-round hopes get SMASHED to pieces. In front of a national audience. Oh, this is already agonizing. Who can forget Brady Quinn’s gruesome fall down the draft board in 2007? He was projected to be a top-10 talent, but had his hopes go down the drain until – get this – the Cleveland Browns selected him 22nd overall.
Here’s the full list, but be sure to post in the comments section, who YOU THINK will be sitting in the green room the longest. My money is on Menelik Watson, err Eric Reid. Actually, forget that. I'm going with D.J. Fluuuuuker.
