After months of workouts, meetings, film study and never-ending analysis, the 2015 Draft — like a 10-month term pregnancy — is finally here.
On Thursday night in Chicago (the greatest city in the world), the league will usher in a new crop of talented college players.
Millions of draftniks have attempted to predict where players will go either via draft or trade over the next three days.
