The 2019 NFL Draft will not start until April 25, and the 2018 NFL season will not end until the Super Bowl is complete on February 3, but that does not mean draft preparation is not already under way around the country. NFL GMs and scouts are watching college football games, practices, and film, trying to get an early idea of who could be available when the end of April gets here.
It also means draft analysts like ESPN’s Todd McShay are working their way through the draft prospects and trying to determine who could be on the radars of teams when the selection process begins.
