This is the time of the year when acute sadness begins to set in. We’re going to have to wait seven months for football to start up once more, and even with an exciting offseason ahead, the days are just better when there are meaningful games to be played. Nonetheless, with the NFL Draft approaching, there is plenty of reason to be giddy. In the early months of the late winter/spring, NFL franchises do their best to retool or rebuild their respective rosters--there is never a time when this process stops.
