The NFL draft is just a few days away and with it will come the usual range of emotions felt by fans as each pick is being made. Anger, excitement, confusion, etc. Then of course, there will be the reactions we don’t get to see that are far more personal than those of us with just a rooting interest.
NFL rosters are a numbers game, and for every player a team brings in, there’s a player on the roster whose job is just a bit less secure than it was before the pick was made.
Sure, there are plenty of fringe players carried by teams when the draft arrives as each team can carry up to 90 players, but for those players who previously felt “safe” because of their standing on the depth chart, the draft can change everything.
