The draft day is undoubtedly tense and exciting, and the whole draft process is far from being as simple as imagined. In the first round of the draft, each team has ten minutes to make a decision, and in this short ten minutes, it is a thrilling game.

Before the official draft, each team will go through countless deliberations, according to their own draft picks, according to their own draft needs, and weigh the draft needs of competitors, to develop a variety of strategies, whether to choose the strongest player left in the basket, or choose the player who can best complement the team's shortcomings, or complete a deal with other players and hand over the draft pick in exchange for greater benefits?

One of the most iconic drafts in history took place in 2002.

At the time, the league had not yet completed its reforms, and the first-round draft was still decided at 15 minutes, with the Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings and Kansas Chiefs finishing sixth, seventh and eighth drafts respectively, with the Vikings and Chiefs all looking to take defensive tackle Ryan-Sims.

During the draft, it was the Cowboys' turn to pick the round.

The Chiefs' team manager called the Cowboys to try to trade the draft pick and get ahead of the Vikings to draft Ryan first. However, the two sides have not been able to negotiate the deal, and the fifteen-minute negotiations still did not reach a conclusion, and as a result, the cowboys did not have time to submit the draft list, exceeded the time limit, and missed their own draft.

According to the rules, the draft picks were extended to the Vikings, with the Vikings being the sixth, the Cowboys being the seventh, and the Chiefs still being the eighth, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Vikings, who only needed to submit the list to take Ryan before the Chiefs.

However, something amazing happened, fifteen minutes, a full fifteen minutes, the Vikings made a mess, the team base camp in Minnesota and the workshop in New York, the communication was frequent, and in the end, they were not able to submit their draft selection, and they magically and strangely missed their good chance.

The Cowboy then closes a deal with the Chief, who snatches Ryan, leaving the Vikings stunned and countless commentators and experts with fragments of glasses all over the floor.

Even more bizarrely, in 2003, the Vikings repeated the same mistake and overtime again, missing out on their own first-round draft for the second year in a row. Such a jaw-dropping behavior has also become a legend in the history of the NFL draft.

Ten minutes of draft time is not only a draft strategy, but also a game, a game between 32 teams!

It is no exaggeration to say that starting from the top show, after each draft result is released, this may lead to changes in the entire rookie market, and a ten-minute game will need to make a decision between the electric and flint, which will not only test the ability to calculate and plan, but also the ability to make trade-offs and decisions.

All of this makes the first day of the draft an exciting one, a drama of the year, which will last nearly five hours and will be a serious test for every player, every fan, every team member.

There was still some time before the official opening of the draft, and the call couldn't wait to sound downstairs, "Bambi! Hurry, hurry! At the same time, it was accompanied by a strange roar of shouting and screaming, which was really lively.

After Lu Ke simply took a quick shower, changed into a set of comfortable sportswear, and walked quickly downstairs, Austin-Newman (Austin-Newman) was the first to jump up, raised his right hand high, and high-fived Lu Ke in celebration, "Yo roar!" Bambi! Bambi! Bambi! ”

Austin is Logan's father, and Tiffany-Newman, who is sitting next to him, is Logan's mother. As a doctor, Austin's personality is more like that of a tech company employee working in Silicon Valley, lively and cheerful, and loves sports, and Logan's personality is largely influenced by his father.

Lu Ke also waved his fist and shouted twice, "Roar!" He smiled and nodded to the other two ladies, "Tiffany, Julia." Then he flew up, jumped into the sofa, and kicked Logan who was originally sitting on it directly, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, this is my position, don't you know?" ”

"Jesus Christ, you're not Sheldon-Cooper!" Logan got up in embarrassment, and while complaining, he began to choke Lu Ke's neck, trying to regain territory.

Sheldon, the actor in the American drama "The Big Bang Theory", has all kinds of obsessive-compulsive disorder, one of which is that he has strict requirements for the position of the sofa at home.

"Boys, boys!" Jiang Youning looked at the two college students with tears and laughter, like children who have not grown up, "Quiet, the draft is about to start, it is about to start!" ”

The countdown to the 2011 NFL Draft has officially begun. Lu Ke and Logan gave up, picked up the pizza on the table, stuffed it into their mouths, and watched the draft while enjoying the happiness of food, which is indeed one of the best choices for holidays.

East Coast Time, 8 p.m.; At six o'clock in the evening, West Coast time, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell (Roger-Goodell) walked onto the stage, the audience applauded, all the cameras, all eyes were focused on him, and the tension suddenly began to thicken.

Even if there is no expectation, even if the mind is calm, the heart still involuntarily begins to beat violently, the blood begins to boil little by little, and the adrenaline explosion is comparable to the fireworks display on the Fourth of July! The annual fateful moment is here again.

Holding the top pick was last year's vice-president, the Carolina Panthers, who were the first to make the draft decision. Before the draft, all kinds of news were boiling, especially after the rookie training camp, the news about star players such as Cam Newton and von Miller was flying all over the sky, and Bryan Gaunt, who scored 42 points in the von Derrick test during the training camp, also turned out, all of which added suspense to the top pick.

Who is it?

In anticipation, the Carolina Panthers made their choice. Roger Goodale opened the cardboard in his hand and said loudly, "In the 2011 NFL Draft, the first pick in the first round, the Carolina Panthers were selected...... Cam Newton! Quarterback from Auburn University. ”

The national sensation, although it was to be expected, was already expected two months ago, but when it came to fruition, the excitement and excitement still stirred up uncontrollably, especially for the Panthers fans, who could be seen celebrating wildly on the streets on the TV screens, as if they had won the Super Bowl.

The camera lens is all focused on Cam Newton's body, Cam in a neat suit looks a little uncomfortable, his body movements are slightly awkward, but the pride and happiness on his face are not concealed, and he can't hide it, and his steps forward are like stepping up to the pinnacle of life, in countless pairs of hot and hot eyes, he walked on the stage, took his "No. 1" jersey, smiled brightly, and was proud.

"What a boring choice." Logan didn't give face at all, rolled his eyes, and complained directly, "There are so many quarterbacks this year, but I chose a 'running back', really." I think Gabbert is good, Rock is good, and honestly, is it the right choice for Bambi? They were all blind. ”

Cam was bathed in flash on the TV screen, leaving only a silhouette of his body, and no facial expression could be seen at all. The tip of Lu Ke's tongue can taste a slight bitterness, saying that he is not sorry, saying that he is not disappointed, it must be a lie; However, hearing Logan's unfair words, Lu Ke couldn't help laughing, "It's okay, in the future, defeat him on the court and get back on the field, that kind of victory will be even sweeter." ”

"That's it, Aaron Rogers, Tom Brady, Drew Bliss, these are not the top picks, the champions of the year, who remembers them now?" Julia also joined in the fun, giggling.

"I'm still worried that Lu Ke has a psychological shadow, and now it seems that I think he will be fine." Jiang Youning turned his head to look at Tiffany, and then teased Lu Ke, causing everyone to laugh.

Lu Ke's mood couldn't help but brighten, picked up a corner of pizza again, and began to enjoy dinner with taste.

The choice of the champion show is not unexpected; This also laid the foundation for the overall trend of today's draft, whether it is a rookie selection or a draft pick trade, it has always been uneventful.

On the list, the Denver Broncos chose lineback von Miller; In the Buffalo Bills, he opted for defensive tackle Marcel Dries; In fourth, the Cincinnati Tigers chose wide receiver A-J-Green; In fifth, the Arizona Cardinals selected cornerback Patrick Peterson.

It wasn't until the sixth place that the draft pick was traded, with the Atlanta Falcons opting to trade upward, and after striking a deal with Cleveland Brown, the Falcons opted for wide receiver Julio Jones. This also became the second wide receiver in the top 10 this year, which sparked a lot of discussion.

In seventh place, the San Francisco 49ers selected lineback Aldon Smith. This guy is the young man who danced with Lu Ke when he performed his first special mission before. First Julio, then Aldon, Lu Ke did meet a lot of potential superstars in his rookie training camp, and this feeling is really subtle.

After that, quarterback Jack Rock was drafted by the Tennessee Titans at No. 8, the Dallas Cowboys selected offensive tackle Tyronn Smith at No. 9, quarterback Brian Garbert was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 10, the Houston Texans drafted defensive end JJ Watt at No. 11, and 2009 Heisman Champion Running Back Mark Ingram was selected at No. 28 by the New Orleans Saints.

The entire first-round draft, there were accidents, but within the expected range, after all, there was still a lack of surprises, and strong players were selected one after another, without a shocking upset, and no dark horses came out. After four and a half hours, the 2011 first-round draft came to an end.

But this was just the first day of the draft.
