The 2014 NFL Draft Begins

I'm ready for the football season to begin. I've loved football with a passion that burns like a thousand suns for a few seasons now, but my obsession really grew when I was able to go to the Kansas City/Colts playoff game where the Colts came back from 24 (or 28, I can't remember now) points down to win by one point.

On to the draft. I know a LOT of people have been watching and waiting to see where Johnny "Football" Manziel would end up, and I have to say it was a little humorous watching him sit there, downing bottle after bottle of water, waiting for his name to be called. He was finally picked 22nd in the first round by Cleveland. I don't think he looked too thrilled to end up there, but maybe he'll be the quarterback the Browns need. I don't follow college ball (yet, haha) so I don't know much about him, other than he seems to be really hyped up.

Jadeveon Clowney went first overall to the Houston Texans. Once again, I don't follow college ball so I'm not familiar with his performance or what kind of person he is off the field. I think I'm gonna need to start watching college ball if I'm going to watch the draft, otherwise I'm going to continue to be clueless.

You can find a full rundown of the first round here. What did you think of Johnny Football's reaction to being drafted by Cleveland? Are you happy with who your team drafted? My team doesn't have a first round pick, we traded it for Trent Richardson.... who hasn't really paid off just yet.
