Here’s evidence that the NFL draft works, eventually. The St. Louis Rams are not, repeat not, on the clock.

Trent Baalke guided the San Francisco 49ers through the draft for the first time a year ago, adding a few key pieces to a team favored to win the NFC West and reach the playoffs after a long absence. His top two picks became immediate starters on a
revamped offensive line, and several others also made impacts as rookies.

The Arizona Cardinals’ smooth-operating offense has been ugly since Kurt Warner’s
retirement, and they’re in need of a quarterback.

Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff is looking at more than just defensive ends as he considers his options for the first round of the NFL draft Thursday night.

Sean Payton’s NFL success began with his ability to conceive of creative offensive schemes that pick defenses apart. The New Orleans Saints’ head coach is less known for building defenses through the draft, though that could change over time.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers need a pass rusher. Statistics suggest it, NFL draft analysts believe it, and even Bucs general manager Mark Dominik concedes it.

General manager Marty Hurney must be perfect with perhaps the important selection in Carolina Panthers history: the No. 1 overall pick in Thursday’s NFL draft.

Matt Hasselbeck is a free agent, Charlie Whitehurst has just two career starts under his belt, and there are no other quarterbacks under contract on Seattle’s roster. So the Seahawks are targeting a signal-caller, right?

The Washington Redskins have picks in the first and second rounds (Nos. 10 and 41 overall) of the NFL draft, then aren’t scheduled to be on the board again until the 144th overall selection in Round 5. That could be a big problem.
