SWA #3

Arguments can be found everywhere as discussed in the first chapter of Essentials of Argument. The argument can be about many different topics ranging from politics to sports, with many different opinions on a single topic. Different views are what make arguments intriguing to listen to because there are such a wide range of opinions on a single argument. One of the most intriguing arguments in the sports world at this time of year is the NFL Draft. It is being talked about constantly now, even though the season still has one more game left, and it seems like every so called expert has their opinion of what is going to happen.

The subject of the NFL draft is one of the biggest arguments in sports right now; in fact it is almost more debated than the Superbowl because there are so many possibilities. It is also a very interesting argument because unlike so many others, somebody will stand correct when the draft is completed. All of the possibilities allow for the draft analysts to try and convince the audience of the NFL that they are correct when it comes to predicting which team will draft which players when in fact nobody will know how the draft will play out until it is completed in April. However it seems like everybody that covers all of the players leading up to the draft can predict what is going to happen, each of which seems to have their own opinion. ESPN has two analysts Mel Kiper and Todd McShay covering the draft, yet their mock drafts are quite different. However it’s not just Mr. Kiper and McShay out there predicting what players will get drafted by what teams, there’s plenty of other places that seem to have their predictions like http://newnfldraft.com/ , http://www.draftking.com, and http://www.draftcountdown.com making their predictions. Despite all of the people covering the draft, none of them have the exact same drafts which makes people wondering which is the most convincing.

Subjects like the NFL draft are intriguing arguments because there are some many possible outcomes and sides about every single pick. All of the analysts try to support their audience with the evidence about the pick that seems to be correct, yet the argument will not be ending until the draft is completely over.
