With a record, 26 players attending the 2012 NFL Draft, the question must be asked – Will all these guys get picked in the 1st round? Getting passed over in the 1st round and being one of the few, if only guy remaining in the green room has to be a horrible feeling. However, I’m sure most of these players thought of that before accepting their invite.
Guys like Rueben Randle and Coby Fleener could slip into the 2nd round. Either way, being invited to the draft is an honor, and I congratulate them all.
