      The NFL now turns its attention to next year's draft — specifically a QB class with tremendous hype

      The NFL now turns its attention to next year's draft — specifically a QB class with tremendous hype

The board may not be overflowing with blue-chippers. The depth may get uncomfortable by Saturday afternoon. But every team in the NFL still gets three days to find starters, role players and cap relief. It’s almost impossible to leave the ...
