Welcome To Draft Szn

Will Gavin and Ollie Connolly kickoff Gridiron's draft coverage (did this really begin a couple of weeks ago? Yes, but roll with it) with an overview of this year's class. They discuss its strengths and weaknesses and how evolutions in the college game have clouded some evaluations. They then move on to which five franchises most keenly need to 'win' the draft, from rebuilding teams to contenders.
