The first round of the NFL Draft is occurring now as I am writing this blog. The draft is how the NFL disperses talent from the college ranks to the professional level. The worst team in the league drafts first, followed by the 2nd worst, and so on until all teams have drafted.
The title of the blog is the name of a contest Bud Light is sponsoring for tonight. Bud Light is awarding $10 million to anyone who can correctly predict all 32 picks of the first round of the draft.
All I've heard in the past few weeks were the predictions that only two quarterbacks would be predicted in the first round. In the first nineteen picks in this draft, there have already been 4 quarterbacks selected. There will likely be a few more selected before the round is completed.

There is a 0% chance that anyone in America will correctly predict all 32 selections. Team general managers play games, and are all basically trying to mislead each other with false information, and no one really knows how each team is evaluating each player. In effect, Bud Light basically got free publicity.
If the worst team in the league drafts first, what prevents them from picking the best players?
