The NFL regular season is over, which means the NFL Draft order is finally set.
Football fans around the NFL are excited for the start of the postseason next week, but for more than half the league the next big even isn’t the Super Bowl but the NFL Draft.
Teams like the Panthers, Patriots, Cardinals and Vikings all built playoff teams through the draft — which is something teams like the Bucs, Raiders, Cowboys and 49ers will attempt to do this offseason. It all comes down to where your team picks and what the incoming draft class looks like.
With stars like Jared Goff, Ezekiel Elliot, Paxton Lynch and Joey Bosa entering the NFL this year, there is a lot to love about picking high. The regular season is over and the teams who were down on their luck at least have at op draft pick to look forward to and the chance to turn their franchise around in a few months in Chicago.
