The 2017 NBA Draft order is set, and The Redshirt has scenarios for everyone in the top 10.

With the NBA Draft order in place, where and who will fall, move up, and which trades should we expect? With a draft class this stacked, there’s no knowing who will land where. But with the experts on “The Redshirt” we try our best to breakdown everything that’ll happen in June.

After the draft, free agency will be the big event, and with plenty of big names hitting the market, teams will be hunting. Players like Gordon Heyward, Blake Griffin, and Steph Curry looking for new contracts, money is guaranteed to be in bundles this offseason. But where these players land will be major factors in who does and doesn’t make the playoffs in 2018.

The NFL Draft is behind us, but with four big name quarterbacks going in the first two rounds, who’s going to start? Maybe DeShone Kizer will get a chance in 2017, but looking back at Notre Dame quarterbacks of the past, holding Kizer back a full season is definitely the right idea.

Can Mr. Irrelevant lead the Denver Broncos to a playoff appearance? Chad Kelly has the talent of a third-round pick but the off the field issues of an undrafted rookie. So, as the last pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, can Kelly get the starting job in Denver? And if he does, can he realistically lead them to the playoffs?
