The Super Bowl is in the books and that means it’s NFL Draft season. Besides the Bengals picking an offensive lineman in the first round, there’s a lot up in the air heading into this year’s draft.
For starters, there is no clear-cut No. 1 pick and while there are some high-ceiling quarterbacks like Malik Willis and Matt Corral, there is no Andrew Luck or Joe Burrow to be found in this class.
