A week into free agency, we have seen a flurry of moves as many veterans switch teams. In addition, the quarterback carousel has been as active as it’s ever been. With the NFL Draft just over a month away, it’s time to see how all of these moves have changed the draft’s landscape. Which teams will opt for a quarterback in round 1? Which of many possible directions will the Jaguars, Lions, and Texans take atop the draft order?
