The NFL draft is preparing to overtake us like a fast-rising desert sun, which means any and all bowtie-ing on free agency must be completed in the next 48 to 72 hours. These are the rules of the football content Gods, not mine. After this, I have to find another quarterback I like better than Fernando Mendoza and pretend he should go No. 1 in the draft (Diego Pavia’s just got that moxie, right guys?).
In all seriousness, examining which teams have improved the most already this offseason is valuable, not only in terms of tempering one’s own excitement about free agency but also in looking at what we really find important. Around the league, coaches are talking about Mike Vrabel’s approach a year ago and, generous schedule be damned, believe that there was some headway to be made before the draft by finding the right veterans.
