| Thursday Marks 75th Annual NFL Draft | |
|
The opening round of the 75th edition of the NFL Draft looming, and sportsbook cappers know that just about every team in the league is hoping to recapture that magical Steelers draft from 1974. That year, the Steelers took four players who would go on to be honored in the NFL's Hall of Fame. Those players were Jack Lambert, Lynn Swann, Mike Webster and John Stallworth, and they would pave the way for the team to win four Super Bowl Titles over the rest of the decade. With that said, it is unlikely that any one team will find themselves in such a position, however, we still look toward the Draft with anticipation, and struggle to pick just which teams will pick which players. Fans of online sports betting know that number one is a clear pick. The St. Louis Rams will end up picking Sam Bradford, former quarterback for the University of Oklahoma. Bradford dazzled the scouts with his phenomenal pro day workout, and the Rams won't let this opportunity pass them by. St. Louis is desperate to turn the team around - and it is believed that a franchise quarterback like Bradford might just be the key to doing that. While fans of sports betting have bemoaned the fact that the top pick in the NFL Draft in recent years has been signed to a contract before the official start of the draft, it would appear the Rams are in no rush. Rams execs have dismissed the assertion that the club is just biding time, waiting for the northbet.com pick on Thursday. Rather, they indicated the team has been in touch with players since the combine, and are engaged in an exhaustive decision-making process. Still, it would be a huge upset if they went with anyone other than Bradford. The 75th annual NFL Draft kicks off on Thursday night. |
