On the Clock: The Story of the Nfl Draft

Sportswriters Wilner and Rappoport chronicle the fascinating history of the National Football League (NFL) draft day. . . . [T]he authors give an excellent account of how the draft works through an in-depth look at the 2014 draft [and] they never lose sight of the players and professionals who have given the draft its drama over the years. . . . [F]ootball fans will be most delighted by the heart of the book, lists of 'the bold and beautiful, the fantastics and the flops, in NFL draft history,' including a look at the best and worst picks of each franchise, and separate best and worst lists for quarterbacks, running backs, linebackers, and safeties. * Publishers Weekly * A compelling look at NFL history through the draft, which has become, for many fans, more important than any single game outside the Super Bowl. Wilner and Rappoport weave compelling little-known facts into the brilliant moves, the blunders, and many of the oddities of the draft process. Informative and a wonderful read. -- Dave Goldberg, former AP NFL writer and Hall of Fame Committee member
