THE 2017 NFL draft is done and dusted and, as always, the first round was full of surprises. The first 32 picks are held for players who are “generational” talents, college players who are the best at what they do and will become the face of the franchise for at least the next 12 months.

Because they will be heralded in front of their peers, media and the public, teams know that their first-round picks will be under more scrutiny then any other selections.

Anything they do on or off the field will be examined under a microscope and because of that, teams feel it is vital that they do not mess up the pick.
