Thanksgiving week is upon us in the NFL. As the calendar nears December, fans and teams have a solid understanding of where their season is heading. Some franchises are sure-fire postseason contenders, others are in the hunt, and another group has their focus mostly on the offseason.

For that last group, one of the more exciting aspects of the offseason every year is the NFL draft. Over three days every year, the next crop of college football standouts make their way to the professional league and provide another group of potential stars.
