With Super Bowl LII on the horizon and the 2018 Senior Bowl behind us, general managers can look ahead to a deep NFL Draft class.


The NFL is coming off of a season that produced results that few expected to witness. Elite quarterback play became optional for success, with multiple teams overcoming injuries and inconsistency to emerge as surprising contenders.

With Super Bowl LII on the horizon, 32 teams will finally learn which organization truly was the class of the NFL during the 2017 season.

While the time for reflection will arrive, general managers can’t afford to spend the next three months looking back at what could have been. The 2018 NFL Draft is rapidly approaching, and the 2018 Senior Bowl has already provided insight into what teams can look forward to.

Thus, while the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles prepare for an unexpected Super Bowl encounter, every franchise must be mindful of what’s yet to come.

In some instances, teams will have a chance to make the big splash by taking a chance on a quarterback in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. In others, franchises can make the less glamorous moves that will solidify their foundation.

The question is: What would—and, more applicably, should—your favorite NFL team do if the 2018 NFL Draft were held today?
