Value of Things: Draft Expectations
For many football fans, the NFL draft is the THE event of the NFL offseason. It makes perfect sense. In Economics, we teach students about the concept of opportunity costs.

Sitting at No. 31 in the NFL Draft, the New England Patriots might be looking at limited options in the first round.
