As the draft nears, fans and pundits tend to start over-thinking and hyperventilating. Trust me, it's a perfectly natural feeling to have as we're all excited to see what new toys will be in the garage this season. Every year we pour over thousands of mock drafts and scouting reports only to be surprised come D-Day.
A rough estimate 3.500 players are eligible each year to be drafted, but an average of 235 are actually selected by the 32 clubs. That's an approximate average of 7% of the possible candidates being drafted. Of course, we take into consideration that each club then signs about 20 undrafted free agents to compete for a roster spot. Looking at all these numbers in front of you easily explains why so many kids are either elated or completely crushed after draft weekend.
