Watching your favorite NFL team miss out on the postseason doesn't have to destroy your holiday spirit.
Remember, there's always a chance your favorite holiday gift won't arrive until April in the form of a potentially franchise-saving draft prospect.

Help could be coming soon, but for now, cling to the hopes our latest mock draft provides, which is followed by a breakdown of the top three defensive prospects on our board.
