April 22nd is a big day in the NFL.
No, its not the start of the season again, calm down, we just had the Super Bowl.
This Thursday, the NFL draft will begin, a whirlwind event during which teams can make great strides towards future success for their programs. Bloggers, analysts and every fan with a lick of football knowledge and three hours of free time have already created their own mock drafts and spent hours pouring over it, and that's not even mentioning the countless hours that teams have spent countless hours looking over the stock for this years draft.
Around Mt.Pleasant, most of the buzz is aimed at this man, Eric Fisher, an offensive tackle from CMU with big potential at the next level. There is substantial debate as to where he will go in the draft, but there is reason to believe that he could go as the No.1 overall pick, an honor that no Chippewa has ever had.
Aside from players from their own schools and hoping for the best for them, fans are especially interested to see how their own teams will fare in the draft. As this list points out, some of the most highly touted individuals never pan out in the NFL, and some plummet so gloriously they earn the title of "bust". However, if the team drafts well, their fans will enjoy watching the team be successful for many years to come.
