Chapter 839

Hugo has been in the studio for a while and has no time to understand this year's rookie training camp, so he naturally doesn't know much. In the face of Steven's question, Hugo could only shake his head and smile and ask, "What about you, do you have any players you like?"

"Heath.shuler." Steven said with a smile, "The star quarterback from the University of Tennessee is very popular this year."

The University of Tennessee was a rugby team that rose around the 1940s, but it was slightly sluggish after entering the 1970s, but the rugby tradition continued. Every year, many star players entered the NFL. Joseph's younger brother Paul entered the University of Tennessee.

In rugby, quarterbacks are the tactical brains of the team's offense, responsible for organizing the offensive system of the entire team. Especially after modern rugby has reformed rules to protect the health of athletes, the passing role of quarterbacks has been further amplified, and their role in the team has been improved. It is often said that an excellent quarterback may save a bad team, and a terrible quarterback may also destroy a good team.

So generally speaking, when people talk about rugby, their first impression is quarterbacks. Among the 78 draft picks before 2014, there were 30 quarterbacks, and the proportion was obvious.

As soon as Steven said this, David, who was sitting next to him, sneered, "I told you that Cincinnati does not need offensive players, they need defense, defense!"

It seems that this is the topic that Steven and David were arguing about. The Cincinnati Bengals were the bottom team in the league last year, so they won the first pick this year, which is the No. 1 pick.

But Steven turned his head unconvincedly and said, "Did the Tigers lose only because of defense? David Klingler's score last season was only 66. God, he can destroy the entire team alone."

"Hey, Ringer is only the second season, we can't be too demanding, right?" Joseph, who was sitting next to Leonardo, couldn't help but shouted directly. Then David Geffen immediately gave a thumbs up to agree. In the end, Steven in the middle could only ask Hugo for help.

David Linger was the quarterback selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the first round in 1992. He was a star quarterback from the University of Houston, but after entering the NFL, his performance in the first two years was very bad. Last year, the Cincinnati Bengals were at the bottom of the league and their defensive front was criticized, but Linger, as a quarterback, could not refuse to blame.

David Geffen obviously believes that the defensive line is more important than the quarterback; but Steven believes that changing the team's brain is the top priority; as for Joseph, it is completely a regional consciousness in Houston to maintain Ringer.

In fact, Steven and David are not necessarily fans of the Cincinnati Bengals. They just talk about the matter and hope to speculate on who the No. 1 pick will be this year, so they debated the situation of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Hayes Schuler, who was born at the University of Tennessee, is the best quarterback in rookie training camp. In addition to his star performance during college, if Cincinnati needs to choose a quarterback, then he is indeed the best choice for the No. 1 pick; but if, as David said, the Tigers want to improve the defensive line, the first choice will naturally not be the quarterback in the offensive group.

Every year's draft conference has a certain process. Of course, before the draft begins, players' performances in college and high school will be recorded and then evaluated.

After the Super Bowl ends in February, NFL will hold a physical and skill test training for rookies. More than 300 top rookies to be selected will be invited to show their strength. Rookies who perform well during college and who can show their strength in physical and skill tests will naturally become a delicious bun in the draft.

But the problem is that there are many positions in American football games. Although each pair has eleven players on the court, a football team is divided into offensive, defensive and special service groups, and the training methods in different positions are different. Therefore, the NFL draft is far more complicated than other sports.

For example, there is a team that has a very strong ability in this year, but the first pick does not need a quarterback. He needs a defensive player. Then this may happen. Either the team chooses to defend a rookie, and the No. 1 pick is not a popular quarterback, but a defensive player; or the team uses draft picks to trade with other teams and hands the No. 1 pick to other teams that need quarterbacks, and they exchange the defensive veterans and other draft picks they need.

No matter what situation it is, it can happen. This is also one of the important reasons why the NFL draft is full of charm. This is why the debate between Steven and David emerged.

Steven looked at Hugo, which made Hugo a little amused. Hugo was not a god-like man who could never forget him. He naturally couldn't remember the situation of the 1994 NFL draft. Of course, he wouldn't know who the No. 1 pick was, but he remembered this man named Hays Schuler, not because he created countless glory in the future, but because he was hailed as one of the top ten largest parallel products in the past 20 years.

Hayes performed very well in college, but everyone knows that the college league and the professional league are two completely different systems and intensity. After entering the NFL, Hayes' performance disappointed everyone. He was unable to adapt to the rhythm and intensity of the professional league, and eventually turned himself into a substitute. He only stayed in the NFL for four seasons and chose to retire. His career was lackluster, and even the number of wins and touchdowns was only a handful.

But what is even more legendary is that after retiring, Hays became a member of North Carolina, and instead achieved considerable success and opened up territory on the political path.

It was precisely because of such a strange experience that Hugo had an impression of Hayes. Otherwise, how could he remember a player who had only been in the league for four years and Hugo had no attention to rugby at all.

Hugo looked at Steven's sad look and laughed without any face. "For the offense, the problem of Tiger's defense is indeed worse, and I don't think Hays deserves the Tiger to gamble, he may not be better than Lingel."

Although Hugo doesn't remember the No. 1 pick in 1994, nor who the Cincinnati Borussia chose, his personal opinion is that. He doesn't know which team he miserably chose Hayes.

When Steven was said by Hugo, he suddenly became anxious, "Are you serious? Is there anyone who is better than Hayes this year in the quarterback?"

Why did this topic come here? Hugo looked at Steven speechlessly, then raised his hands to express his surrender, "Sorry, I can't even recognize the face of this year's rookie." This sentence made Steven very frustrated, and David and Joseph, who were sitting on both sides, laughed loudly.

At this time, Samora happened to come back with pizza. She looked at the cheese pizza in her hand with a satisfied expression. When he returned to his seat, he found that everyone's expressions were a little strange, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Leonardo, who was innocently caught in the middle, looked crying and tears-free, "They quarreled so fiercely, just like watching the Lakers and the Clippers play against each other."

However, Samora nodded "well" and looked at the steaming pizza in her hand. In the end, she couldn't help but lowered her head and took a bite, then closed her eyes and looked happy.

As soon as Hugo and others looked up, they saw Samora's greedy bear look and weren't they asking what was going on? Why did they eat it in the next second! Everyone was speechless.

Samora opened her eyes and saw everyone's eyes. He didn't know what was going on, but said happily, "Eating pizza while watching the game is really enjoyable. It would be great if there was fried chicken!" A black line slipped down, but Samora still didn't realize it. "Do you want to eat it? Oh... really, I don't know that there are other friends. I only bought an eight-inch one. Or, I'll buy one? I just saw that the bacon tasted very well."

Leonardo, who was still innocent, secretly waved at Samora, "They said football is fierce and they should not be interested in snacks."

Samora suddenly realized, "You talk, you continue." Then she smiled and greeted Steven and David, then sat down and continued to enjoy the pizza.

Looking at Samora like this, Hugo, and Joseph immediately looked at him with a look of "I don't know him", but Samora looked over with an active look, "Who do you want it?"

Leonardo, the only one who had not looked away, silently held the popcorn and turned his head. Samora sat in the spot, muttering, "This pizza is really delicious, and it's best to eat it while it's hot." Then he continued to chew the pizza happily.

But Samora didn't notice at all. People from all directions looked at his behavior with a look of surprise: Today is a draft, not a game day, everyone is extremely nervous. Not to mention pizza, even popcorn feels a bit inappropriate.

However, everyone's attention quickly shifted, on the one hand, because Samora did not affect others, although it was inappropriate; on the other hand, the draft was about to begin.

Before 1994, the draft was always twelve rounds, but from 1994, the draft was reduced to seven rounds, with thirty-two picks in each round, basically thirty-two teams having one pick in each round, the first to the third round were held on the first day, and the fourth to the seventh round were held on the second day, but generally the media only focused on the first day, to be precise, the first round, at most until the second round.

The highly anticipated first-round draft pick is about to officially begin, and the atmosphere on the scene is also beginning to heat up.
