Hugo has been in the studio for a while, and he didn't have time to learn about this year's rookie camp, so naturally he didn't know much about it. In the face of Steven's question, Hugo could only shake his head and asked with a smile, "What about you, do you have a favorite player?"

"Hayes Schuller (Heath. shuler)。 Steven said with a smile, "The star quarterback from the University of Tennessee, a traditional powerhouse, has a high demand this year. ”

The University of Tennessee was a football powerhouse that rose to prominence around the 40s, but it was a bit sluggish in the 70s, but the football tradition continued, with many star players entering the NFL every year. Joseph's younger brother, Paul, attended the University of Tennessee.

In football, the quarterback is the tactical brain of the team's offense, responsible for organizing the offensive system of the whole team, especially after the rule reform of modern football in order to protect the health of athletes, the passing role of the quarterback has been further amplified, and their role in the team has been improved, it is often said that a good quarterback can save a bad team, and a terrible quarterback can also ruin a good team.

So generally, when people think of football, their first impression is of a quarterback. Of the 78 draft picks before 2014, there were 30 quarterbacks, a clear proportion.

Before Steven said this, David, who was sitting next to him, sneered, "I told you, Cincinnati doesn't need offensive players, what they need is defense, defense!"

It seems that this is the topic that Steven and David were arguing about just now. The Cincinnati Tigers were at the bottom of last year's league and received the No. 1 pick this year, which is the top pick.

Steven also turned his head unconvinced and said, "Could it be that the Tigers lost just because of defense?" David Ringle (David. Klingler) was only sixty-six last season, and God, he alone can ruin an entire team. ”

"Hey, Ringer is only in his second season, we can't be too demanding, can we?" Joseph, who was sitting next to Leonardo, couldn't bear it anymore and shouted directly. Then David Geffen immediately gave a thumbs up in agreement, and in the end, Steven in the middle could only ask Hugo for help.

David Ringle was the quarterback selected by the Cincinnati Tigers in the first round in l992, and he was a star quarterback from the University of Houston, but after entering the TNFL, the first two years were very bad. The Cincinnati Tigers finished bottom of the league last year and were criticized for their defensive line, but Ringel, who is quarterback, is also to blame.

David Geffen clearly thinks the defensive line is more important than the quarterback; But Steven thinks replacing the quarterback, the brains of the team, is a top priority; As for Joseph, it was entirely Houston's sense of territoriality that maintained Ringel.

In fact, Steven and David are not necessarily fans of the Cincinnati Tigers, they are just talking about the facts, hoping to speculate on who this year's top pick will be, so they have started a debate about the situation of the Cincinnati Tigers.

Hayes Schuller, who was born at the University of Tennessee, was the best quarterback in rookie camp, and with his star in college, Cincinnati was the best choice for the top pick if he needed to pick a quarterback; But if, as David said, the Tigers want to improve their defense, then the first choice will naturally not be the quarterback in the offensive group.

Every year's draft has a certain process, of course, before the draft begins, the player's college and high school performances will be recorded by scouts, and then evaluated.

After the Super Bowl in February, the NFL will hold a fitness and skill testing camp for rookie players, during which more than 300 top rookie players will be invited to showcase their strength. Rookies who excelled in college and were able to show their strength in physical fitness tests and skill tests will naturally become the best in the draft.

But the problem is that there are so many positions in American football, and although each pair has the same choice of 11 players on the field as football, a football team is divided into an offensive group, a defensive group and a special service group, and each position is trained in different ways. So the NFL's draft is far more complicated than other sports.

For example, there is a quarterback who is very capable this year, but the team with the first pick option does not need a quarterback, he needs a defensive giant, then this situation may occur, either the team chooses a defensive rookie, and the champion is not a favorite quarterback, but a defensive player; Either that team traded draft picks to other teams, giving the top pick to other teams that needed a quarterback, and they traded it for the defensive veterans and other draft picks they needed.

Either way, it's possible. This is one of the important reasons why the NFL draft is so attractive. That's when the argument between Steven and David arose.

Steven looked at Hugo, which also made Hugo cry and laugh. Hugo is not a man of God, he naturally does not remember the situation of the NFL draft in l994, and of course he does not know who the champion Xiu is, but he remembers this person named Hayes Schuller, not because he has created countless glories in the future, but because he is known as one of the top ten biggest parallel goods in the NFL in the past ten years.

Hays's college game was exceptionally good, but everyone knows that the college league and the professional league are two completely different systems and strengths, after entering the NFL, Hayes's table Xiàn disappointed everyone, he was never able to adapt to the rhythm and intensity of the professional league, and finally turned himself into a substitute, he only stayed in the NFL for a total of four seasons before retiring, his career was lackluster, and even the number of victories and touchdowns was only a handful.

But what is even more legendary is that after retiring from the army, Hayes became a North Carolina legislator, but he achieved no small success, and opened up territory on the road of politics.

It was precisely because of this peculiar experience that Hugo had an impression of Hayes, otherwise how could a player who had only been in the league for four years, and Hugo had no interest in rugby at all from l994 to l997.

Hugo looked at Steven's sad eyes and laughed without giving face, "The Tigers' defensive problems are indeed worse than the offense, and besides, I don't think Hayes is worth the Tigers' gamble, he is not necessarily better than Lingle." ”

Although Hugo doesn't remember the 1994 No. 1 pick or who the Cincinnati Tigers chose, he said so. I don't know which team was the one who chose Hayes in the end.

Steven was immediately anxious when Hugo said this, "Are you serious?" Could it be that there is a better quarterback than Hayes this year?"

How did this topic come here? Hugo looked at Steven speechlessly, then raised his hands in surrender, "Sorry, I don't even recognize the face of this year's rookie." This sentence made Steven very aggrieved, and David and Joseph, who were sitting on either side, laughed.

At this time, Samora happened to come back with pizza, looking at the cheese pizza in his hand with a satisfied expression, and when he returned to his position, he found that everyone's expressions were a little strange, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Leonardo, who was innocently caught in the middle, had a tearless expression on his face, "They quarreled so fiercely, like watching the Lakers and Clippers play against each other." ”

Samora nodded with a "hmm", and her eyes drifted towards the steaming pizza in her hand, but in the end, she didn't hold back, she just lowered her head and took a bite, and then closed her eyes with a happy look.

As soon as Hugo and the others looked up, they saw Samora's greedy bear--didn't they just ask what was going on, why did they eat it in the next second! Everyone was directly speechless.

Samora opened her eyes and saw everyone's eyes, he didn't know what was going on, but happily said, "It's really enjoyable to eat pizza while watching the game, and it would be nice to have fried chicken!" A black thread slid down, but Samora was still unaware, "Do you want to eat?" Ah...... Really, I don't know if there are other friends, I only bought an eight-inch one. Why don't I go over and buy another one? I just saw that the bacon flavor is also very good. ”

Leonardo, who was still innocent, secretly waved his hand at Samora, "They said that rugby is going on, and they shouldn't be interested in snacks." ”

Samora suddenly realized, "You talk, you continue." Then he smiled and said hello to Steven and David, and sat down directly, continuing to enjoy the pizza.

Looking at Samora like this, Hugo and Joseph immediately had an expression of "I don't know him", but Samora looked at him positively, "Which of you wants?"

Leonardo, the only one who hadn't looked away yet, also silently picked up the popcorn and turned his head. Samora sat there bewildered, muttering, "This pizza is delicious, and it's best to eat it hot." Then he continued to munch on the pizza.

But Samora didn't notice at all, and people everywhere were looking at his behavior with surprised expressions: today is the draft meeting, not a game day, everyone is very nervous, not to mention pizza, even popcorn feels a little inappropriate.

However, everyone's attention quickly diverted, partly because Samora did not affect the others, although it was out of place; On the one hand, the draft is about to begin.

Before 1994, the draft has always been twelve rounds, but since 1994, the draft has been reduced to seven rounds, 32 picks per round, basically 32 teams have one pick per round, the first round to the third round is played on the first day, and the fourth round to the seventh round is played on the second day, but the general media only focuses on the first day, to be precise, the first round, up to the second round.

The high-profile first round of the draft is about to officially begin, and the atmosphere on the scene is also beginning to heat up. (To be continued (Dian Dian Chinese Paper) provides.)
