I do not care for mock drafts. Mock drafts are TV and Radio media hustles. It’s a media tool used to make their audience
believe they are “in the know”. They are
not insiders.
Yearly, I watch Mock Drafts from the “experts” and
they are hitting below 25%. How can I
call that expert in any field of work on Earth? Here’s the trick, they bombard fans with multiple versions of
their mock drafts so they can say “in this version of my Mock I had......”.
Below, I collected 4 national and 2 local personalities
latest First Round Mock Drafts. I presented it by percentage and total number of picks they got got correct.
As you can see, it’s silly to refer to any of these guys as
experts. Not to mention, I looked at the
easiest round of the draft to predict and at most 23%, EXPERT?
Locally, I don’t even want to see how Lance Zierlein and Jayson Braddock had the Texans drafting. Both, know their craft but I think they need to think about how they approach future drafts.
What really gets me about the "experts", when their mock drafts do not align with the actual draft, they blast the teams.
Mock Drafts had their place before social media, when people
were not connected. Mock drafts are useless
and its shelf-life is coming to an end. More and more people are blasting mock drafts. Mock drafts are List Radio.
