Another six teams had their season ended during Wild Card Weekend, which means the top 24 picks are now locked in. Also, Wednesday was the final day for prospects to declare for the draft. Tennessee edge rusher James Pearce Jr. and Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers were the last notable names added to the pool, bringing the number of underclassmen to declare before the deadline to 70. Ohio State and Notre Dame players will have until Jan. 24 to declare their intentions. As the postseason continues for the NFL’s best of the best, three-quarters of the league is already focusing on next season. The top of the draft, as per usual, features three quarterback-needy teams, but unlike last year, there aren’t enough top-tier prospects to fill those needs. Do the Titans, Browns and Giants use free agency or the trade market to address the most important position in the game, or do they reach for flawed options with elite prospects at other positions of need also available. The answer to those questions will likely define the first day of the draft in Wisconsin come late April.
