A lot of NFL teams should walk away from the first round of this year's draft satisfied. That's because while there's a lack of top-end, high-profile prospects, there are plenty of players capable of stepping in to fill a void immediately. One other thing the bunched-up nature of the class allows for is movement. There isn't a major divide between players currently projected to be selected in the middle of Round 1 and those on the fringe of the opening round, which places an emphasis on good workouts and interviews. Let's check out a projection for how things currently stand with the college football season complete and the NFL within three rounds of crowning a champion. That's followed by a closer look at some players that land with teams where they are really needed.
