re: Why do fans treat mock draft experts like they are GMs?

I think the first round picks are not a place to just pick what you think you want without considering the price you are paying.
If you want Leatherwood (Raiders) or Turner (Saints) as pick you need to consider the following.
What is the likelihood of other teams drafting that player in the next 3-5 picks? If it is low or remote, consider trading down for more draft bullets.
I am not knocking the pick. I just think if they liked those guys in the first, they would love them in the 2nd.

With Turner, we are learning that that liklihood was high.
Also, do you know if any teams offered anything to only move back a few spots?

The Saints may have tried to trade back and got no interest. It's not how they roll but it may have played out like that. I think these organizations are starting to value their picks more now than they did in the past
