Rejoice, my friends in the fact that the 2020 NFL Draft is officially two weeks from today!
God willing, we will be prepping for the first round of the draft 14 days from now and will be mere hours away from learning which bright, young star will be joining our favorite football teams. In 14 days and some change, we will know whether or not this team is going all in on Tyrod Taylor or putting their future into a rookie QB.
I can’t flippin’ wait. Enjouy the links, everyone and have a happy Thursday.
