Draftwire

Now that the NFL regular season has 18 weeks, the end of Week 9 marks the halfway point, and we’re already seeing a race developing at the top of next year’s draft board. It looks like a five-horse race for the No. 1 overall pick right now, with the one-win Houston Texans leading the charge for the time being. We’re also hitting the homestretch of college football season, as top prospects and sleepers alike do their best to make the most of their last few games before bowl and playoff season, hoping to put strong film out there for pro scouts to break down once the predraft process arrives.
