The non-playoff draft order is set. The top five picks remain static from last last week with the Kansas City Chiefs officially on the clock. The debate on who the Chiefs will be picking can also begin. Will it be Geno Smith? Luke Joeckel? Or one of the top defenders? While it looked like Geno Smith was a lock, his struggles late in the season have many questioning his viability as the top pick.
Making things interesting this draft season will be the fact that there aren’t any Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin locks in the top five. Speculation will run rampant over the next four months with your guess as good as mine. The all-star games, combine, and pro days will be as important as any other season in recent history with everyone vying for a leg up in the competition. It’s going to be fun.
