We're just nine days away from the biggest draft in professional sports.

The 2012 NFL Draft gets underway on Thursday, April 26, and will last for three days. The first few picks shouldn't be a surprise. Andrew Luck is expected to go number one overall to the Colts, and the Redskins are expected to select Robert Griffin III, after they traded up to the number two spot a month ago.
