What is the NFL Draft?

University athletes are selected in the draft. This program takes place before the start of the regular session, so-called off season. The 32 teams playing in the league have three days to select the new reinforcements. The first choice is the most important. The credit goes to the team that had the worst performance last season. The champion goes last.

This year, the first choice went to the Jacksonville Jaguars from Florida. The franchise selected Clemson University quarterback Trevor Lawrence to strengthen his team. Another important option was that of the Denver Broncos. The team decided to choose a quarterback and selected cornerback Pat Sartain II from the University of Alabama. The decision may be related to the possible hiring of Aaron Rodgers, who has shown interest in leaving the Green Bay Packers.
