NFL teams use the draft as a means to replace veterans who recently departed in free agency, as well as fill key needs. It’s a cheaper alternative to spending big bucks on players who might only have a few years of above-average production remaining in their careers. We saw this with the San Francisco 49ers […]

Traditionally, there have always been a few players who were considered top NFL prospects heading into draft week that get stuck waiting to hear their names called.

When the free agency market opens later this afternoon, at 4 p.m. ET, many NFL players will be seeking large contracts, but most of them will have to settle a more practical amount.
