A TON Of Changes!
We see teams like Detroit and Houston stick with the same needs, and I’m here for it! The Luk-ness monster, Kelee Ringo, Zay Flowers, and Nolan Smith break into the conversation and a lot of players just shuffle around the board.
Until we see free agency, and where players in the league move to, this board will continue to be in flux, and I expect big changes even into mid-march and the next article!
