The NFL draft is the focal point of the offseason. We are officially in draft month, time to look at what can transpire on April 26.

Teams are setting up private workouts and official visits with draft prospects. These give the draft community insight on what position and players teams are considering. After spending what felt like an entire offseason saying they won’t select a quarterback, the New York Giants are sure doing a lot of research into the position.

Reports are also swirling that the Cleveland Browns have not locked into a single prospect with the first-overall pick. It is expected to come down to either Sam Darnold or Josh Allen.

When draft night happens this is exactly how it will go down. Except it wont. There will be trades that shake up everything. The Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots hold multiple first round picks. Both are also being rumored to try and package them to go get a quarterback.

Buffalo is in a more urgent situation than the Patriots but this is the deepest quarterback class in some time, and both want to take advantage of it. The Giants hold the key. They will either take a quarterback or take a trade package of multiple first rounders that can set up their franchise for a very long time.
