Draft Day

My focus over the last week has been on the NFL draft, which takes place between April 22 and April 24. I've been working with the NFL editor to help produce content for the papers next week previewing the draft. Most of what I've done is research. I went through mock drafts produced by the national media (CBS sports, NBC sports, ESPN etc.) to create a spreadsheet of where each media outlet thought players would be drafted. And, in the past few days, I've been working on side-bars relating to specific issues in the draft. For instance, yesterday I compared the top two quarterbacks, and today I'm working on analyzing the needs of each team in the NFC East.
