New Jersey Nets Only 7 Games Away From Guaranteeing #1 Pick in NFL Draft

The Nets players and coaches are more than halfway towards getting something that every team wants: the #1 pick in the NFL Draft. The Nets have started their season 0-9 and are only seven games away from going 0-16, a record that guarantees you the #1 pick in the NFL Draft when there are no expansion teams entering the league.

"We don't want to look ahead but there's definitely buzz around the locker room" said Nets Coach Lawrence Frank. "To get the #1 pick in the draft, it would be an early Christmas Hanukkah gift for our front office and a nice Hanukkah gift for me."

Unlike the NBA, the NFL Draft gives the #1 pick to the team who loses games on purpose and thus, has the worst record in the league. The NBA Draft has a lottery where teams who have the worst record don't necessarily get the top pick. There are rumors that Nets scouts are targeting Russell Okung, a 300 pounder who will clog up the paint.
