093 Ecstatic
The first-round draft was over, and the biggest surprise came with the 26th pick.
The Baltimore Ravens, who were supposed to make the draft selection, overtime, repeated the mistake of the Minnesota Vikings and missed their draft pick, which allowed the Chief, who was originally in the 27th pick, to be selected first. During the live broadcast, when the Baltimore Ravens confirmed the timeout, the entire studio was simply fried, the whole United States was in amazement, and the fans of the Ravens were wailing.
In the end, the Kansas Chiefs chose wide receiver Johnathan-Baldwin, followed by the Baltimore Ravens who chose cornerback Jimmy-Smith.
But other than that, the first-round draft was generally uneventful. There is no name of Lu Ke, nor is there the name of Logan, nor is there the name of their other friends.
For Logan, there is no near end selected in the first round of the draft, which is undoubtedly huge good news, and Logan is likely to be selected in the second or third round; But for Lu Ke, the fate of the quarterback is extremely bumpy.
As predicted, this year is a big year for quarterbacks, and there are really many teams in desperate need of quarterbacks, with four quarterbacks selected in the first round, in addition to the Carolina Panthers, the Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Minnesota Vikings have also selected quarterbacks.
This also means that the next quarterbacks will be more and more intense, and other teams that need quarterbacks will also be more and more cautious.
By the way, Richard Sherman, who is invincible and arrogant in rookie training camp, prides himself on being the league's No. 1 cornerback and has never been on the same page as Lu Ke, but his name did not appear in the first-round draft. To be precise, a total of three cornerbacks were selected in the first round, but he was not one of them.
The draft lasts for three days, with the first day being the first round, the second day being the second and third rounds, and the third day being the remaining four rounds.
For the onlookers who are watching the excitement of eating melons, the first round is the only hot focus worth paying attention to, even if it is a veteran fan, they may not be guarding the live broadcast, just waiting for the team to officially announce the results of the seven-round draft.
But for the team, scouts, and the players themselves, the first-round draft is just a reality show — it's still a "show" after all, and the subsequent draft is their life, a life-changing reality.
The next day, Lu Ke's family of three moved to Newman's house and watched the second and third rounds of the draft at their house.
Less than half an hour after the draft began, the Newman family erupted in a depressed wail.
First, the Cincinnati Tigers selected quarterback Andy Dalton with the 35th pick in the second round, and then the San Francisco 49ers selected quarterback Colin-Kaepernick with the 36th pick in the second round.
"You must be kidding me! You must be kidding me! Logan jumped to his feet and screamed angrily at the TV screen, as if he could penetrate the screen and start a conversation directly — it was unknown who he was talking to.
Austin jumped up as well, "What was Trent Balk thinking?" Kaepernick? He actually chose Kaepernick? Jesus Christ! What we need is a quarterback, a real quarterback, and if we don't choose a good pocket quarterback like Lu Ke, we choose a running quarterback, so why not just choose a running back? ”
Even Julia chattered, "Is there a mistake?" One Newton is enough, and there is another Kaepernick? What the hell is going on with the Alliance? Could it be that these coaches are all in the water and training the NFL as if it were the NCAA? Hell Jim Hubble! He's been at Stanford for four years, he's trained Andrew Lacker, and you're choosing Kaepernick now! Jesus Christ! I'm so! ”
Jim Hubble, the new head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, was the coach of Stanford University before this season, and Andrew Luck was his favorite - Andrew is the quintessential traditional pocket quarterback with some running ability, but nowhere near as good as Aaron Rodgers, let alone Cam Newton.
Incidentally, Colin Kaepernick is the University of Nevada's quarterback, the representative of the running quarterback: 21 passing touchdowns and 20 running touchdowns in the just-concluded senior season.
The point is, the San Francisco 49ers traded up nine spots, traded the Denver Broncos for a draft pick, and then snatched Collin Kaepernick. This strategy can be seen that after the Tigers selected Andy Dalton, the 49ers felt the pressure and made an early move, which also means that Kaepernick was the result of their early selection. That's the most shocking thing.
Two consecutive quarterbacks have been drafted, one of which is the San Francisco 49ers. However, Lu Ke's name was still not called.
This also means that the possibility of Lu Ke playing for the San Francisco 49ers has almost been completely extinguished - no team would be foolish enough to choose two quarterbacks in the same draft, and how could it cost two spots to be at the quarterback position with only seven draft rounds?
As a result, everyone began to beat their chests, and even Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning were full of regret. As the party concerned, it was Lu Ke who was the most calm, looking at everyone who was rushing to the sky with a stunned face, and a ridiculous sense of joy swept over, and he couldn't help laughing.
Seeing the heartless Lu Ke, Logan raised his hand and smashed the pillow over, "You can still laugh?" ”
"Or else? Am I going to cry? Lu Ke's retort made everyone stunned, and then thought about it, this also seemed to make sense, and then everyone laughed.
But soon, the good news came in the second-round draft, after trading the draft pick with the San Francisco 49ers, the Denver Broncos, who were drafted with the 45th pick in the second round, selected safety guard Raheem Moore from UCLA, and then they followed up with the Miami Dolphins to continue the draft with the 46th pick in the second round, and selected Orlando-Franklin (Orlando-Franklin), an offensive tackle from the University of Miami.
Raheem Moore, who became the first player to be drafted in this year's UCLA draft, is finally on the move.
Lu Ke and Logan both jumped up, high-fived each other, and sincerely felt happy for their teammates; However, this joy was only a prelude, and then it really ushered in a strong outburst.
With the 80th pick in the third round, the San Francisco 49ers chose to trade upwards and reached an agreement with the Jacksonville Jaguars to preempt the draft and select Logan Newman, a close end from UCLA! This is the fourth close end selected in this year's draft.
"Ahhh The whole room was jubilant, Logan raised his hands in the air, screaming and running in circles around the room, no one could catch him, and after running three laps of his own, he stopped next to the TV screen, his hands clenched into fists, and shouted heartily with joy, "Ah! "Every muscle in the body was cheering and celebrating.
Not only Logan, but everyone else jumped high and high. Lu Ke was even more excited than he was chosen, and waved his fist vigorously, "That's what I said!" That's what I said! Everyone was hugging each other, yelling at each other, celebrating each other, and the whole room began to shake with the sound of gongs and drums.
Ecstasy, this explains what it means to be ecstatic. It's not just that Logan was drafted early in the third round; Also because the object of his selection was the San Francisco 49ers, Logan's dream home team!
At the beginning of the rookie training camp, Logan's interview with the 49ers was really mediocre, and he was frustrated for a long time, missing the opportunity to play for his favorite jersey; But today, the 49ers made a neat decision to trade draft picks upwards to get Logan in front of the others. This is undoubtedly a dream come true.
This is true for Logan, and even more so for Austin. So, they all fryed!
After Logan finished shouting, the surging emotions still could not be vented, he crashed into Lu Ke with a sprint, and the whole person hung on Lu Ke like a koala, "Bambi! I did it, I did it! I'm a 49 person! 49 people! ”
The so-called 49 people do not mean 49 people, it is a collective term for the gold diggers who poured into Northern California in 1849. In 1848, after the discovery of a large amount of gold in California, the following year, people from all over the world flocked to the Sierra Nevada near San Francisco to pan for gold, so the San Francisco gold diggers at that time were collectively known as the "49 Gold Diggers". Later, San Francisco had its own football team, so it was named the "49ers", which carries the history and origins of the city.
Now, every San Francisco football player and fan proudly calls themselves the "49ers."
Even so, Logan still couldn't vent all his excitement, and simply ran outside the house, shouting, "I'm a 49!" Then, the neighbors next door to the street began to cheer and celebrate, "Congratulations! "Well done! "Up, Logan, up!" ”……
The whole street went into party mode, and every neighbor was celebrating wildly.
Finally, the celebration was finally over, and Logan ran back and slapped Lu Ke's chest twice, "Man, you can enter the alliance!" Trust me, even I can, you have absolutely no problems! When we meet on the pitch in the future, I will definitely not show mercy. ”
The confident declaration made Lu Ke laugh out loud.
But the ideal is beautiful, and the reality is skinny. The third round of the draft is over, and there is no Lu Ke; On the third day, the fourth round of the draft, and the fifth round of the draft, there was still no Lu Ke; In the sixth round, running guard Marcus Lynch was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers, and then defensive tackle David Carter was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals.
In the end, only the seventh round remained.
