There has been a lot of speculation on when Arizona State
quarterback Brock Osweiler will be picked in the upcoming
NFL Draft.
Osweiler did receive an invitation to attend the draft,
which starts April 26, and called the invite “a dream of
mine since I was 8 years old” via twitter March 30.
The list of draftees that will populate the green room at
Radio City Music Hall on
the night of the first round has been released, and
included a record 26 players, but Osweiler’s name was not
included. The former Sun Devil ultimately turned down the
invitation.
Last season, 25 players were invited to the draft, and 20
of them were first round selections.

Alabama safety Mark Barron; Oklahoma State receiver Justin
Blackmon; LSU defensive tackle Michael Brockers; LSU
