...With the NFL draft approaching, the Draft preview magazines show up as well. It’s a good way to see how valued the players are. Here is a count so far by team, by offense or defense. And which were early Entrants (EE) and range of predicted round of selection (or Free Agent). Included are their 2017 stats of interest. Those with asterisks are teams we face in regular season. We would only face Oregon or Washington in the Pac 12 championship game. No UA nor UNLV players mentioned.
