Anyone else tired of mock drafts?

I was all over them until about a week ago. Now I'm just ready for the draft.

At this point, team's aren't saying shite to anyone so everything is just out of left field.

Yes. But you're still going to have scores of people bashing who is getting drafted where because it doesn't match a bunch of guys who have websites online.

I think a lot of it is the big networks are trying to keep the NFL relevant. They release a mock draft once a week and guys start talking at the water cooler the next day. It's a marketing ploy to keep the sport on your mind when it is out of season. The NFL is the best at this.

they're fun at first, but when draftniks move a guy up directly after the combine and then down again 3 weeks later after nothing has transpired, it kind of exposes it as click-bait

I tire of them more as the years go by. There is a lot of good stuff but I find as it grows as a cottage industry, it increases more in just chatter, not much substance.

The mock you pick'em games are the apex of chatter. One, they're picks are usually just goofy. Two, who the frick cares about what somebody else did on a goofy arse game. Do it, play it, but don't post it.

I do enjoy trying to figure who the pick could be narrowed to and who it might be. I think for first half of the 1st Rd you can find fairly solid consensus. Last year I mocked both Rankins and Thomas. For me, #11 is narrowed down to 3-4 players at this point.

We can't even enjoy pick 32 cause we think it may be a goner

I don't understand the logic

How "logical" can a mock draft be

I wish the NFL didn't move the draft back 3 weeks... it's just too much fluff and speculation

Yes, that's why I post mock schedules.
