And, yes, a million things will change between now and late April, including but not limited to: the makeup of several coaching and scouting staffs, the state of post-free-agency rosters and each team’s pressing needs, and the draft eligibility statuses of a handful of marquee prospects, many of whom could choose to go back to school for another year.
