The NFL draft will take many turns between now and April 26.
That's when NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the 32 teams will get together in Arlington, Texas, to bring in the latest crop of college players for the purpose of upgrading rosters.
The scouts have done the bulk of the most important work already. They have written reports based on what has happened on the field in the 2017 season. For some players, these observations will get obfuscated by what happens at the Senior Bowl, the NFL Scouting Combine, private workouts and interviews.
All of those events are tools to learn more about players, their habits, potential, personalities and conditioning, but the most important thing is how well they perform in games.
