The NFL draft is going to be really interesting this year. The draft class is not the strongest, but there are some talented players.
This class will end up being defined by the decisions the teams who take quarterbacks in the first round.

- RPM Data Analyst A.J. Schulte (2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30)
