Four Teams That Won The NFL Draft

It seems like everyone has gotten better this year

Four Teams That Won The NFL Draft
Cleveland

With the 2017 NFL Draft having wrapped up Thursday night, teams are now full of young talent, and are all ready to begin the new season. Ultimately, only time will tell who really made the best picks this year. With that in mind, here are four teams I believe put themselves in the best position with this draft.

1). The San Francisco 49ers

This was a truly awful roster last year, and that may still be putting it lightly. Drafting two of the best in the first round, Solomon Thomas and Reuben Foster, will set this team up for years with defensive talent. Although I do question their choice of drafting C.J. Beathard when attempting to address the offense. Coming from a Packers fan, I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to John Lynch for fooling the Bears into drafting Mitchell Trubisky, because that is a pick that I'm sure the NFC North will enjoy for years to come.

2). The Cleveland Browns

At the moment, it is a popular call to say that the Browns had the best draft this year. While I am putting them at second in this ranking, I do believe that they were a bit risky with the selections of Jabrill Peppers and David Njoku in the back end of the first round. Not to mention, I still don't believe this roster is anywhere close to being organized enough for a winning season. They got some solid young talent though, and the next few seasons will determine if their moves really paid off.

3). The Jacksonville Jaguars

Picking Leonard Fournette at the fourth spot was an amazing decision, because the Jags now have a running back who just plays angry. He is a bruising, workhorse back who should help immediately with the development of Blake Bortles. Not to mention picking up Cam Robinson in the second round; not too shabby. Fourth round pick Dede Westbrook could be a steal, if he manages to stay out of trouble off the field.

4). The Indianapolis Colts

The Colts had a draft that was nothing short of amazing. With a plethora of defensive selections, the Colts may surprise people this season with the strength of their new players. Malik Hooker and Quincy Wilson will provide an immediate impact in the secondary, and Marlon Mack could prove a worthy successor to the aging Frank Gore. Who knows, maybe this is the year in which everything is not placed on the shoulders of Andrew Luck?

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
