Tonight is the night! It’s an exciting time for fans, players and your favorite football teams. At 8:00pm EST, you will get to watch the first round of the draft and catch all of the excitement. Most of the mock drafts have the top 10 packs like so:

1. Andrew Luck, QB – Colts
2. Robert Griffin III, QB – Skins
3. Matt Kalil, OT – Vikings
4. Trent Richardson, RB – Browns
5. Morris Claiborne, DB – Bucs
6. Justin Blackmon, WR – Rams
7. Melvin Ingram, DE – Jags – Pick could be traded
8. Ryan Tannehill, QB – Dolphins
9. Fletcher Cox, DT – Panthers
10. Mark Barron, S – Bills – Pick could be traded

As all draft fans know, nothing goes as planned. There is always a trade or some type of surprise that happens to shake the draft up. This year will be no different. Outside of the top two picks, nothing is certain. Here’s my top 5:

1. Luck
2. RG3
3. Richardson
4. Blackmon
5. Claiborne

I’m expecting the Vikings to trade out of that third pick to a team who wants Trent Richardson. He’s the best running back in this draft. That will shake the board up and teams will have to adjust. Just my thoughts though.

This is what makes the NFL Draft so much fun. Fans can make it there own. Get ready for an interesting night!

The Washington Caps beat the defending champs last night to close out an extremely close seven game series, with a final score of 2-1 in OT. This makes it two years in a row that the defending champs get ousted in the first round. All seven games were decided by one goal, making it the first seven game series to do so. On a team filled with stars like Ovechkin and Backstrom, its ironic that the game winning goal was scored by Joel Ward, a black Canadian born to parents whose parents are from Barbados – Yeah, I was surprised too. Apparently, so were the Bruins fans.

Ward’s game winner stirred up a social media frenzy of racist comments from Boston area fans, serious enough to cause the owner of the Washington Capitals, Ted Leonsis to write, “I hope they are now publicly identified and pay a huge price for their beliefs,”. Ward wasn’t bothered by the comments. So enough of the negative…what’s next for the Washington Capitals? Tonight they will probably watch game seven of the New York and Ottawa series and wait for their next opponent.

Good luck Caps! Washington needs a winner.
