We'll explore the game and the season in more depth through the course of the off-season, but for now a brief yuletide recap will have to suffice!

That means the draft order (selections) are set. IF EVERY team were to select the highest draft pick available to them, we'd pick in this order. If teams opt to move later in the round and build a strategy around that, we could see some jumble before LBXI kicks off.

 

Yahoo! has provided some interesting graphs that showcase team draft values and performance versus projections. We'll examine these numbers and more in a full blown Final recap, the season's postscript, and the continuation of out team-by-team series of elegies for the 2018 season.
