The first round of the draft is over, and the biggest surprise occurred with the 26th pick.
The Baltimore Ravens, who were supposed to make a draft choice, actually ran out of time, repeating the mistake of the Minnesota Vikings and missing out on their own draft pick. This allowed the Chiefs, who were originally ranked 27th overall, to make the first choice. During the live broadcast, when the Baltimore Ravens confirmed the timeout, the entire studio simply exploded. The United States screamed, and Ravens fans screamed.
In the end, the Kansas City Chiefs selected wide receiver Johnathan Baldwin, and then the Baltimore Ravens selected cornerback Jimmy Smith.
But other than that, the first-round draft overall was uneventful. There was no name of Lu Ke, no name of Logan, and no names of their other friends.
For Logan, no tight end has been selected in the first round of the draft, which is undoubtedly huge good news. Next, Logan is likely to be selected in the second or third round; But for Lu Ke, the fate of the quarterback was extremely bumpy.
As predicted, this year is a big year for quarterbacks, and there are many teams that are in desperate need of quarterbacks. Four quarterbacks were selected in the first round, except for the Carolina Panthers who were the No. 1 overall pick. In addition, the Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Minnesota Vikings have also selected quarterbacks.
This also means that the next quarterback will become more and more fierce, and other teams in need of quarterbacks will also become more and more cautious.
By the way, Richard Sherman, who was arrogant and arrogant in the rookie training camp, claimed to be the league's number one cornerback. He was always at odds with Lu Ke, but he did not appear in the first round of the draft. his name. To be precise, there were three cornerbacks selected in the first round, but he was not one of them.
The draft lasted for three days. The first day was for the first-round picks, the second day was for the second- and third-round picks, and the third day was for the remaining four rounds. The entire level of attention decreased exponentially.
For the lively spectators, the first-round pick is the only hot focus worthy of attention. Even senior fans may not watch the live broadcast and are just waiting for the team to officially announce the results of the seven-round draft. .
But for teams, scouts and players themselves, the first-round draft is just a reality show - a "show" after all, while subsequent drafts are their lives, the reality that changes their destiny.
The next day, Lu Ke's family of three went to Newman's house to watch the second and third rounds of the draft.
Less than half an hour into the draft, depressed wails erupted from the Newman home.
First, the Cincinnati Bengals selected quarterback Andy Dalton with the 35th pick in the second round, and then the San Francisco 49ers selected quarterback Colin Kaepernick with the 36th pick in the second round ( Colin-Kaepernick).
"You must be kidding me! You fucking must be kidding me!" Logan jumped up first and angrily yelled at the TV screen, as if he could penetrate the screen and directly Start a conversation—it’s not clear who he’s talking to.
Then Austin jumped up, "What was Trent Baalke thinking? Kaepernick? He actually chose Kaepernick? Jesus Christ! What we need is a quarterback, a true fourth-quarter player." Shooting guard, instead of drafting an outstanding pocket quarterback like Lu Ke, and choosing a running quarterback, why not just choose a running back?"
Even Julia started to ramble along, "Is there any mistake? One Newton is enough, but here comes Kaepernick? What on earth is wrong with the league? Are all these coaches out of their minds? , treat the NFL like the NCAA for training? Damn Jim Harper! He stayed at Stanford for four years and trained Andrew Luck, and now you actually choose Kaepernick! Jesus Christ! This really pisses me off!"
Jim Harbaugh, the new head coach of the San Francisco 49ers. Before this season, Jim was the coach of Stanford University, and Andrew Luck was his favorite. Andrew is a typical traditional pocket quarterback with certain running ability. , but far inferior to Aaron Rodgers, let alone compared to Cam Newton.
By the way, Colin Kaepernick is the quarterback of the University of Nevada, the representative of running quarterbacks: in his just-concluded senior season, he had 21 passing touchdowns and 20 running touchdowns.
The point is, the San Francisco 49ers traded up nine spots, swapped draft picks with the Denver Broncos, and then grabbed Colin Kaepernick. This strategy can be seen. After the Tigers selected Andy Dalton, the 49ers felt the pressure and took action early. This also meant that Kaepernick was the result of their early selection. This is the most shocking thing.
Two quarterbacks were drafted in a row, one of whom was from the San Francisco 49ers. However, Lu Ke's name was still not called.
This also means that the possibility of Lu Ke playing for the San Francisco 49ers has almost been completely eliminated - no team will be stupid enough to select two quarterbacks in the same draft, only seven-round picks. Chance, how could it be possible to spend two spots on the quarterback position?
As a result, everyone began to beat their chests, even Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning had regrets on their faces. As a person involved, Lu Ke was the calmest. He looked at everyone shouting in shock with a stunned expression. A sense of absurd joy swept over him, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing the heartless Lu Ke, Logan raised his hand and smashed the pillow over, "You can still laugh?"
"Otherwise? Do I want to cry?" Lu Ke's retort made everyone stunned. Then they thought about it, and it seemed to make sense, and then everyone burst into laughter.
But soon, good news came in the second round of the draft. After trading draft picks with the San Francisco 49ers, the Denver Broncos selected a safety from UCLA with the 45th pick in the second round. Guard Raheem Moore, and then they completed a trade with the Miami Dolphins. They continued to draft with the 46th pick in the second round and selected offensive tackle Orlando Franklin from the University of Miami.
Raheem Moore, who became the first player selected from UCLA in this year's draft, is finally done.
Lu Ke and Logan both jumped up and high-fived each other, sincerely happy for their teammates; however, this joy was just a prelude, and then they really ushered in a strong explosion.
With the 80th pick in the third round, the San Francisco 49ers chose to trade up and reached an agreement with the Jacksonville Jaguars to draft tight end Logan Newman from UCLA! This is the fourth tight end selected in this year's draft.
"Ahhh!" The whole room cheered. Logan raised his hands high, screaming and running in circles in the room. No one could catch him. After running three times, he finally He stopped next to the TV screen, clenched his hands into fists, and cheered heartily, "Ah!" Every muscle in his body was cheering and celebrating.
Not only Logan, but also everyone else jumped up high. Lu Ke was even more excited than he had been chosen, waving his fist vigorously, "This is what I said! This is what I said!" Everyone was hugging each other, shouting at each other, and celebrating each other. The loud shouts of gongs and drums made the whole room start to shake.
Ecstatic, this explains what it means to be ecstatic. Not just because Logan was selected, early in the third round; but also because the person who picked him was the San Francisco 49ers, Logan's dream home team!
In the rookie training camp, Logan's interview with the 49ers was really mediocre. He was frustrated for a long time and missed the opportunity to play for his favorite jersey. But today, the 49ers made a clear decision to trade up the draft. In a powerful way, he took Logan under his wing before others did. This is definitely a dream come true.
That's true for Logan, and it's even more true for Austin. So, they all went crazy!
After Logan finished shouting, his passionate emotions still could not be vented. He rushed into Lu Ke with a sprint, and his whole body hung on Lu Ke like a koala, "Bambi! I did it, I did it! I'm a 49er! 49er!"
The so-called 49ers do not mean forty-nine people. It is the collective name for the gold diggers who poured into Northern California in 1849. After a large amount of gold was discovered in California in 1848, people from all over the world flocked to the Sierra Nevada Mountains near San Francisco to pan for gold the following year. Therefore, the San Francisco gold diggers at that time were collectively called the "49 Gold Miners." Later, San Francisco had its own football team, so it was named the "49ers", carrying the history and origin of the city.
Now, every San Francisco football player and fan will proudly call themselves a "49er."
Even so, Logan still couldn't vent all his excitement. He simply ran outside the house and shouted loudly, "I am a 49er!" Then, the neighbors on the street began to cheer and celebrate, " Congratulations!", "Well done!", "Come on, Logan, come on!"...
The whole street went into party mode, and every neighbor was celebrating wildly.
Finally, the celebration was finally over. Logan ran back and punched Lu Ke's chest twice, "Man, you can enter the league! Believe me, even I can, there is absolutely no problem with you. !When we meet on the court in the future, I will never show mercy."
That confident declaration made Lu Ke laugh loudly.
But the ideal is beautiful, and the reality is skinny. The third round of the draft was over, and there was no Lu Ke; on the third day, there was still no Lu Ke in the fourth and fifth rounds of the draft; in the sixth round, first running back Marcus Lynch was selected by the San Francisco 49ers, and then It was defensive tackle David Carter who was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals.
Only the seventh round remained.
