First Day of Draft- Check!

Finally! The first day of the draft is over and I can't keep my emotions in! I was looking forward to this day for so long, and now that it is finally gone, I am both happy and sad. I thought that it was a great draft, with so many young talents being selected in the first round. I want to first talk about some traditional things that I do each year during the draft. First of all, I always watch the draft with my dad and younger brother. No matter where I am, who I am with, or what I am doing, I will always be sitting next to the two of them before the first pick is made. I also will always have a good snack to accompany me through the torment of waiting for the Niners to pick. Next, I wait pick after pick until the Niners are on the clock. There is no other way to describe the NFL draft than the best three days of the whole year.

So with that out of the way, lets talk about the picks in the draft. With the first pick in the NFL draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select, Jameis Winston, Florida State quarterback. I really don't think that it was a big surprise to see the 2013 Heisman Trophy taken first in the draft. Winston was a hell of a quarterback for the Seminoles while he played there. He made game winning plays, week after week, and proved to the nation that he was the best player in college football. I understand that he didn't have the best combine this year, but he showed that he could make the plays that he needed to make, and can lead a team anywhere. I mean, he won twenty four straight games as a starting quarterback, with most of those wins being come form behind. He pretty much showed that he can perform well at any level and lead any team to a potential championship. The second pick of the draft came from the Tennessee Titans, selecting Marcus Mariota with the second overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. There really isn't much to say about Mariota. I believe that he was the most electrifying player in college football for the three years he was at Oregon, and showed that he was also one of the most athletic in the country. He was a very efficient, dual threat quarterback with a gun for an arm. He showed that he was smart, throwing only four interceptions all of last year. He also threw forty two touchdown passes, while also running for fifteen. These stats are just the beginning to who Mariota is. He was highly respected by all of his teammates, and had the best attitude in the locker room according to his coaches. I think that with time, he will turn into an amazing quarterback in the NFL.

Will Marcus Mariota be efficient?- Thanks to www.http://cdn.fansided.com for the pic.

Based on the first two picks of the draft, I believe that all of the teams picked intelligent players that fit their schemes perfectly. The talent in this draft was crazy and all teams got at least one player capable of changing their team. The Niners ended up taking Arik Armstead form Oregon, which left me dying to see who they would take tomorrow. I am so excited for what is next, and guarantee that the second day of the draft will be just as good as the first!
