Draftwire

As a new NFL league year approaches, with franchise tags already handed out and last-minute preparations for free agency taking place across the league, we now have the final piece to this year’s draft order. Compensatory selections were announced earlier this week, as teams were awarded extra picks based on who they gained and lost in free agency last offseason, as well as a new rule that rewards teams for developing minority candidates who are hired as head coaches or general managers elsewhere.
