The spectacle known as the NFL Draft begins tonight. It will span the next three days, as teams build the rosters of the future on the backs of standout college players. There are a few Cincinnati Bearcats that will be in the mix as the draft progresses, but not a one will come close to being taken in the first round, the marquee event of the entire weekend. As of posting, linebacker Eric Wilson is the only player considered to be a lock to be drafted at all.
Last year, two players from UC were drafted, with offensive guard Parker Ehinger going in the fourth round to the Kansas City Chiefs and wide receiver Chris Moore going two picks later to the Baltimore Ravens.
