NFL Draft: Local Preview

    





    The 1st round of the NFL (National Football League) Draft begins tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. (eastern time), and can be seen live on ESPN.  There are several prospects from our local area that will wait eagerly, and hope to hear there name called by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.   I've compiled a list of local prospects, along with a projection of the round in which I believe that these players may be selected.
