Notorious B.I.G. once rhymed, "Thereâ€™s rules to this stuff. I wrote me a manual." Though it applied to a different type of game, Christopher Wallace was on to something. Now that the 2012 NFL Draft is over, many players will need a guide to keep them out of the gossip blogs, tabloids, and bankruptcy courts.

So, before these athletes get caught up, perhaps they should read The Five Draft Commandments. (What!) ---Christian Law
