Hanson, 54, said that with Fernando Mendoza selected by the Las Vegas Raiders with the No. 1 overall pick, he was turning his attention to “the unknown.”

The New York Jets (No. 2 and No. 16 overall), New York Giants (No. 5 and No. 10 overall), Cleveland Browns (No. 6 and No. 24), Kansas City Chiefs (No. 9 and No. 29), Miami Dolphins (No. 11 and No. 30) and Dallas Cowboys (No. 12 and No. 20) are the six teams with multiple first-rounders.
What adds to the intrigue is that Mendoza is the only quarterback guaranteed to go in the first round. Alabama’s Ty Simpson was mocked for landing either late in the first round or the second round on Friday.
Although Hanson said he was turning his attention to the unknown of the NFL Draft, he didn’t want to downplay Mendoza’s accomplishments over the past year.

“I think we all know that the number one overall pick is a foregone conclusion that Fernando Mendoza will become a Las Vegas Raider, but let’s not downplay that. This young man won the Heisman, won the natty, one of the great stories in college football, recent history, huge deal,” Hanson said.

Lowe’s also offers Kobalt mini tool boxes decorated with the colors and logos of each NFL team to help people with their home improvement projects.
“The whole concept is that Lowe’s loves football like you love football, like I love football. And so they want to encourage you, you get during the week, on Friday, even on the weekend, on Saturday, you go down to Lowe’s, you get all your home improvement projects done, and then you’ve earned your Sunday, so you can sit down and, let’s say, watch a show that will show you 50, 60, 70 touchdowns on a Sunday afternoon from the NFL. It’s winning your Sunday.”
