Column: Opportunity of a lifetime

Each team in the National Football League (NFL) is built in the annual seven-round draft that features the best, young talent in the entire country.

All 32 NFL teams draft players based on overall record and in order of playoff elimination — the Super Bowl Champion selects last.

Trades are, however, routine when it comes to NFL draft picks, so don’t be surprised to see a team selecting sooner or later than expected.

Every NFL franchise weighs an incredible amount of importance on the draft, and it seems obvious why. Players are no exception as the draft is equally, if not more, important to them — an opportunity of a lifetime.
