Reading the needs
A high need is where this club is most likely to spend an early pick, so a rookie drafted there walks into a role. Output ranks how the unit is playing among the 32 clubs. An age in amber is a starter near the end of his prime; IR or Out marks one who is unavailable; an arrow shows a need that has moved since last week. How needs are judged

How the chances are worked out
A player's chance of going at each pick comes from his draft range (his college production and the consensus of public mock drafts). At every pick that chance is shared between the clubs that could hold it, by how likely each is to be picking there and how much it needs his position. A club is not expected to draft more than one quarterback or tight end early, however many picks it holds. Only the players with a real chance of the first three rounds are listed.
