In this thread, I will find the most likely candidates for the final 8 Rookie Premiere cards. The final 8 cards will come out next Thursday and we will see the NFC and AFC East be dropped next Thursday. The players chosen will most likely be inside of the top 150 picks, as we haven't seen a Rookie Premiere be a player higher than pick 134, who was the latest pick getting a card in Jay Ward. We will probably see a full team of Rookie Premieres, and many positions have not gotten a card yet, which betters their odds of getting a card. Below is a list of all positions and how many cards they have so far.
UPDATE: NFC and AFC South Rookie Premiere cards have been revealed. I will add add to each team‘s prediction whether or not my prediction was right. The card will also be hyperlinked.
