The Titans and Browns are best positioned for Sanders and Ward given that they hold the draft’s No. 1 and No. 2 picks, respectively. But the Raiders are in an equally dire situation to the Giants, and the Jets, Steelers, Colts and Saints all could make big changes, too.

The Minnesota Vikings have a slightly precarious situation at quarterback that needs to be settled in the coming months. Had Sam Darnold had the sort of ending to the season that his 35 touchdown, 4,319 season would have commanded,
