NFL Draft Terms and Expressions

[Shame About Ray]

It’s finally here. Put down the magic eight ball, the ouija board and the chicken bones. Mock drafts are finished, because on Saturday we’ll see what the teams have really been thinking. Now, if we could just understand exactly what the TV network's draft gurus are talking about...

Take Your Draft Experience To The Next Level
