Transfers[edit]

Are the ones listed the only transfers which have occurred, or simply the main ones? We should try to clarify this please. Blue Square Thing (talk) 09:28, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

These are the only transfers occurred. - Anjana Larka 14:21, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Best course of action?[edit]

I can't work out the best thing to do with this article. It doesn't seem to tell me anything very useful beyond which players were picked in the draft - the 2016 one is even more like this.

I *think* I want it to tell me which players were picked by which team and in which order - i.e. who were the first round picks, the second round picks and which teams did they go to etc... I honestly can't see the point of not telling me which teams they went to.

I might have a go at it (and the 2016 one) at some point to try to find a way to do that - does anyone have any suggestions at all? I've looked at NFL draft articles for example and I generally prefer the way they do it, although that can lead to very long tables which I'm not sure is the best approach.
