The Draft

I gave this the first star simply because it is a book about football. The second star is because it does have interesting history about the NFL Draft and you do get a close look at how an NFL team evaluates a draft class.

The Draft: A Year Inside the NFL's Search for Talent is a detailed look at what players, agents, and NFL teams go through leading up to the annual NFL Draft where teams select college players. The Players Williams chooses several players to follow for this book, some first rounders and a few who start with great promise but ultimately flounder in the draft for a variety of reasons.

Just short and to the point...this was an interesting book that covered topics like how players prepare for the combine, how teams scout players, how agents pursue draftees, etc.
