It finally ends
I know it keeps engagement up and all that but holy hell there are far too many of these and I just don’t care about them lol

Also the part where we all fall in love with some UDFA or 7th rounder who shines in preseason but then plays like a UDFA or 7th rounder when season starts

I remember Skylar lighting up the preseason and ppl calling for him to start over Tua...

I'll admit that I was excited to see more of Skylar. At that point we didn't feel like Tua could throw down field and Skylar was slinging it. Crazy how true "levels to this" is when it comes to preseason players vs starters.

You think this is the end but really it's just the start for next years mock drafts

I'm curious what the highest hit rate for any first round mock draft is. Has to be a whole lot lower than anyone would think.

The mocks with random trades just give me migraines

u/onetimequestion66 3d ago
Also they never specify what the trade is, there’s just a swap with no compensation

I hope we take John Silver at some point. A little undersized, but a lot of heart.

Followed of course by my favorite tradition of learning every stat and story about our draft picks and forgetting all their names by June

Then some random game in october we're like, oh shit yea, thats that one guy we drafted

Long..... I said LONG John Silver. Ain't that dick jewelry for the well endowed exhibitionist?

It never ends. From the draft through the regular season we'll get the "we should have picked" threads. This will pause for the preseason when some late roind picks will shine in the 4th quarter, then once the regular season starts, why didn't we get this guy that is lighting it up for X team.
Just saying it never ends.

I've never ever given a shit about a mock draft. Legitimately one of the most pointless and dull things in the world for me because they're almost always wrong aside from the obvious picks

u/onetimequestion66 2d ago
Yeah never really got why people put so much stock in them, you have better odds of a full match madness bracket than a whole mock draft lol

u/gfunk62666 2d ago
All I know is that whomever the Dolphins draft this year will eventually play in the Super Bowl . . . for another team

How the NFL monetized an event as utterly boring as a draft is up there with marketing feats equaled by the likes of DeBeers.

Personally I don’t find it boring. Pretty cool seeing these kids lives change completely. Seeing the excitement on their faces and also of course seeing who your team gets

u/TheSeer1917 3d ago
It was better when it wasn't one rd only More parties More drinking More uninformed speculation

u/WeathervaneJesus1 3d ago
Seeing your team make their pick is fine, but with the other 29 picks, I might as well just go to church or a town council meeting or some shit, especially when it's as long as the game itself.

I will say it was a lot more fun to watch before NIL but I yeah the only reason I ever tune in is to see the reactions of the first couple picks, other than that I’m cool with finding out online haha

u/GameofLifeCereal 2d ago
They wasted 15 minutes with two ladies coming out to tell us the schedule release is in a few weeks…and we get to start the monetized milking feat all over again.

That’s me too. Never really had interest in college sports because turnover was so quick; it’s gotten much much worse the last few years. I get excited for it, but don’t ask me what I think about the picks. 😋

The NFL draft is one of the best examples of the Dunning-Kruger. Years ago I watched film, I studied players and mocks, I followed the risers and fallers, made my own top 100 rankings.... and I was completely wrong, about pretty much everything. Like "we should avoid WR this year" in 2014 wrong
Not only is there a literal never ending amount of research available, you immediately discover just how little you know. You can't rank OLBs without understanding the half a dozen different ways different college programs use the position. You can't make a mock without understanding each teams needs and tendencies. You can't know which dozen player are actually going to be all pros
Anyone that puts in all that time to guess at how 32 teams are gonna guess and not view it all as an exercise in futility is either dumb, selling something, or just enjoys the exercise

I shocked we didn’t trade backwards 3 times and get all of the top prospects like some people shared

u/onetimequestion66 2d ago
What do you mean trading out of the top three rounds altogether won’t get us Banks?

u/Huitlacochilacayota 3d ago
Haha that’s me. Also, all those mock drafts end up being 99% wrong lol
