Football fans everywhere are ready to celebrate Christmas in April. That’s right the 2005 NFL Draft is just 2 weeks away. This exciting weekend is one of the greatest of the year and one of the most exciting days in sports. Here is my initial 1st round mock.

With the NFL Draft on the horizon, it is time for me to come with my draft day predictions.  The 49ers are already on the clock and have announced that negotiations have been opened with UC-Berkeley’s Aaron Rodgers, Utah’s Alex Smith, and Michigan’s Braylon Edwards.  While I am still a big proponent of the my 49ers trading down, I believe they will be locked into the #1 overall selection.  No prospect has stepped up and asserted himself as being the best player on the board.  Without further adieu, here how I think the draft will shake out.

I am pleased to bring my version of the 2005 Mock Draft. The NFL draft is still 20 days away and the choices are still a bit blurry, but this is how I see it shaping up.

Each off-season brings new talent to new teams; here are the major free agent signings and trades from the off-season and how it affects each team.

The highlight of a career for a professional athlete is to be inducted into his or her sport’s hall of fame. One of the most distinguished Halls of Fame is the Pro Football shrine in Canton, Ohio.

The best of the best who ever played professional football are enshrined there. A day walking through the hallowed halls there will put one face-to-face with the busts of Red Grange, Ernie Nevers, Jim Brown, Johnny Unitas, Sonny Jurgensen, Jim Thorpe, et al.

Even with the recent disastrous baseball all-star game that ended in a tie the NFL all-star game, the Pro Bowl is the worst all-star event in professional sports. The Pro Bowl is held in Hawaii the week after one of the best single sports events, the Super Bowl with the best available football stars in the game. The problem is that many of the best players are either unavailable or unwilling to risk an injury.

The debate continues on what traits are most important to a quarterback’s success

The greatest running back to ever play football.  

In a few short days, the Patriots and Eagles will face off in the most dramatic embarrassment of riches this young century has seen, otherwise known as this year’s Super Bowl.  The NFL certainly didn’t need this.  Unlike professional baseball or basketball, the NFL knows that its championship game will be a ratings colossus each and every year.
