how does it exactly work?

basically all the best young American football players from college and high school assessed and then ranked in their position. after that the nfl teams pick the players in order of how they finished the season with the team with the worst nfl record picking 1st and the superbowl champions picking 32nd and last in the first round

there are 7 rounds in the draft in total. round 1 today. rounds 2,3 & 4 tomorrow and rounds 5,6 & 7 on saturday

there are a couple of brits that have been signed, former british discus thrower from london 2012 okoye signed by the 49er's after the draft has a free agent. he is expected to be part the 49er's defensive line.

one of the best linebackers ever to play in the nfl, brian urlacher has today announced his retirement after 13 seasons with the nfl, all with Chicago Bears

Tim Tebow has signed today for new england patriots

Hey fellow NFL fans!
I am so happy that preseason starts tonight (unless you are a Miami or Dalls fan and have already started)
I am very excited about this season after the last few seasons, I havn't been all that hopeful. I am a huge St. Louis Rams fan, things are definately on the up for us I feel after getting Jeff Fisher in last year. We had a great draft and have a promising all though young and relatively inexperienced offense. Im hoping WR Tavon Austin will make an explosive start to his Rams career after all the hype surrohnding him. He and our free agent signing Jared Cook are going to be big targets for Sam Bradford. I am a little worried for our running game after losing Stephen Jackson to the Falcons although I do feel it was the right time to let him go. We have two second year RBs who have had quite limited game time and a rookie RB.
Our defense has bee quite strong as of late and I am hoping we can build on that and if we can really start to hurt teams in the Red Zone this year we have a shot of the play offs for about the first time in 10 years or so.
Who does everyone else support here and are you hopeful of your teams chances?
