With just a couple of months until the next NFL season kicks off on August 3, there’s been plenty of activity in the opening draft rounds. At a typically glitzy event at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, we saw the key signings that will be sure to shake things up this summer.
Quarterbacks were hot property in the 2018 NFL draft, with a record five quarterbacks being chosen in the first round.

Key draft picks included wide receivers like Taylor Gabriel and Allen Robinson who, along with tight end, Trey Burton, will help the Bears start the season in style.

In the first round, they managed to get the promising Boise University linebacker, Leighton Vander Esch, who will be expected to slot in alongside legends like Sean Lee and Jaylon Smith. And just in case you were worried about the lack of wide receiver talent in the Cowboys team, then Colorado State University signing, Michael Gallup, could make a big impression for the Cowboys.
But how are Philadelphia Eagles planning to defend their incredible Super Bowl win of 2018? Their second round signing of the acclaimed tight end, Dallas Goedert, will boost the already formidable Eagles offense. Plus their new defensive end, Josh Sweat, and corner back, Avonte Maddox, could boost the odds of another strong year for the Eagles at bookies like https://www.betting.org/ for Super Bowl LIII.
However, it’s Arizona Cardinals who you will have to be keeping an eye on this season.
