NFL Draft 2015: 10 Things You Need To Know

Excitement is building!

There are still five months to go until the 2015 NFL season kicks off, but the excitement is building ahead of the 2015 Draft which promises to jolt the fans into life. The crazy off-season looks set to continue after the free agency period has already seen some game-changing trades go through. Saints icon Jimmy Graham swapped New Orleans for a place on the Seattle Seahawks roster, hard-man Ndamukong Suh moved to the Dolphins, and Cowboys' star running back DeMarco Murray headed to the Eagles. But while those huge deals have gone through, there's still plenty more business to be done around the league, with the draft set to offer the chance for college football's finest graduates to shine on the biggest stage. For many in the UK, the idea of graduating straight from university into a professional team is virtually unthinkable, but America's highly organised set-up offers a great route into the game, with some players filling out the squads as reliable backup players, while others take the league by storm at the first time of asking. Whether you're an avid follower of the sport, or a relative beginner to the technicalities of the NFL, here are 10 things you absolutely need to know about the 2015 Draft.
