After this week's NFL Draft, the endless mock drafts will cease. Orrrrrr will they? 😂 🏈
Prominent national websites such as ESPN and the NFL Network don’t have just one designated person making one mock draft. They have several analysts who put together multiple mock drafts in the months and days leading up to the draft, essentially calling them “Version 1.0” or “Version 4.0.”Beat writers of NFL teams around the country get into the act as well, by releasing their own mock drafts for their publications, doing so multiple times before the draft.
Piggybacking off that theme of hope, mock drafts can also be a reason for fans to hope and dream that their team is either going to be good for years to come, or they are about to have a major turnaround.
Given NFL general managers never tip their hand and they often lie about what their true plans are in the days leading up to the draft for the purpose of keeping negotiating leverage, the mock drafters don’t know much. It’s probably easy to come up with who the top pick or the top five picks will be, but beyond that, predicting other picks or forecasting trade scenarios seems like throwing a dart at a board.Evidently, there can’t be enough mock drafts in the eyes of NFL fans. The media members who produce them certainly get that, or else they wouldn’t come up with so many versions.
One slight change in a selection or trade scenario in a mock draft can often send people rushing to the phones to call their local sports talk radio shows to voice their displeasure or praise.What’s the first thing websites such as ESPN or the NFL Network put out a few days after the draft ends?In short, Mulinaro couldn’t have named his fictional podcast any better.This story was first published in 2021.
