2018 NFL Team (Rookie) Needs (Preview)
John Holler - 2/9/2018
This is the time of year when NFL teams are taking a long, hard look at themselves as to where they excelled and where they struggled from the previous season. With pending free agency, retirements and cap-related salary dumps, rosters can change significantly from one year to the next.
While many teams will use free agency to address some of their pressing needs, the draft remains the currency of the NFL – the ability to add young talent at team-friendly prices that, if they pan out, become the foundation blocks of a franchise.
For the purposes of this story, we take a look at the team needs for all 32 teams and why some needs are more pressing than others. Some of these will be decided in free agency, while others will be left to the draft to fill, but make no mistake about it...

"I began using FFM in the late 1990s. For 20+ years they were an extremely valuable resource, as I enjoyed great success in my league during that period. Unfortunately, my league came to an end during the Covid years, and I stopped subscribing to FFM. After a year without Fantasy Football, I started looking into online sports betting and quickly realized FFM could again become a valuable source of information for prop bets on individual players. I resumed my subscription with FFM and have not looked back. FFM is clearly a dual threat; they can severely increase your odds of success in both fantasy leagues as well as prop betting. I almost feel guilty with the tremendous returns I get from such a modest investment in FFM."
