NFL Draft 2012

On Thursday, April 26th, the NFL will commence the 77th NFL draft. The 2012 draft class has some top-caliber prospects entering the draft this year. Including Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, Alabama running back Trent Richardson, Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, and Oklahoma State wide-receiver Justin Blackmon. The Indianapolis Colts will have the first pick of the draft, and they have already contacted Luck and told him that they will be drafting him. After releasing hall of fame quarterback Peyton Manning, the Colts believe Luck is the way of the future. The Rams will then follow the Colts and then the Vikings will have the 3rd pick.
