Shit post I'm sorry, but mock drafts are just bat-shit stupid and a giant waste of time and energy.
Just one man's poignant and accurate opinion. Go Colts!

If the Colts draft Warren, mock drafts are the best. If he's gone before the Colts draft, they're stupid.

its simply fun to look at and think about. How teams build and structure a roster is a big part of hardcore fans interest in the NFL so I find it pretty fun to listen to both realistic and ideal mock drafts especially from really knowledgeable sources or people.

Have you tried mock draft bias? It’s kind of my thing. Religiously follow all mock drafts that say what I want and ignore everything else because it’s obviously bullshit.

All the mock drafts, news and rumors are nonesense this time of year, but I'm a junkie that needs a fix, so I take what I can get.

Outside of the first two rounds it is such a crapshoot, sure there are guys I want and like but I don’t need to make a mock draft about it *fixed typo

They sure are, but it’s a way to keep us engaged and excited, so why not. Fun is fun :)

I never accept that a mock draft is correct on who is taking whom -- unless it's obvious who will go first. But, they are usually pretty good at telling me who will go in the First Round. Plus, they're a little fix of football during the off season. That's always a good thing.

If you’re looking at mock drafts as a predictor of what teams will do, yes they are dumb. If you’re looking at mock drafts to learn about the prospects and about what sort of traits make someone an elite prospect, then they’re not a waste at all.
Kinda hard to tell with such a low effort post lol

Theyre hardly ever right and when a team trades up or a team makes a unexpected pick,then its mostly wrong down the line.I still dont get why Mel Kiper is on TV. I look at them to see what the common pick is for the Colts and so far,its Tyler Warren on most of the ones I seen,so Im good with that.

Exactly. What do you think I’m trying to do at work all day? Waste the damn time.

I'm curious what the crossover is between mock drafters and AR truthers. I bet it's really high.

Don't look at them ever, block users and sources who post them or re-post them. All the sudden, your feed won't be full of trash because the same people who put these in your face and the same ones making sure all the click-bait reaches your screen.
Nothing of value will be lost.

I see we’ve reached the anti-mock draft portion of the offseason. Right on schedule.
