Dustin James' NFL Draft Guide: 1st Edition

Here's a quick little guide I put together to help keep track of all the news and other business that comes with NFL Draft season (yes, it's NFL Draft season already). With some NFL teams already looking towards the off-season and with the college football season coming to an end, it's almost time to go ALL-IN with NFL Draft stuff. This will be a weekly guide on the Ultimate Football Blog that gives you updated news on which underclassmen are in, what the current draft order is, any rumors circulating the block, and eventually you will see weekly mock draft's and more. Enjoy.
