Listen up, football fans. The NFL Draft kicks off on April 28th. Speculation abounds regarding which declared college player the Jacksonville Jaguars will take as the first overall pick.

As a result, the worlds of sports journalism and social media are buzzing, with what feels like countless articles and conversations being published and posted by the second.
