It’s the big day for the Big Ick, who is certain to hear his name called during the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night. There have been points this offseason where analysts have suggested Ekwonu could go No. 1 overall, but now it seems he’s more likely to land somewhere else in the top five.
Being selected near the top of the draft means you will be getting millions of dollars (that’s good), but also means you may end up employed by a terminally inept franchise (this is not as good). Mel Kiper has Ickey going to the Texans at No.
