The NFL regular season is over, and NFL draft season has begun for more than half of the league’s teams.
For 18 teams, the conclusion of the 2024 NFL regular season means the start of a long offseason. Each team is locked into one of the first 18 picks of the 2025 NFL draft and faces some important decisions.
