Every year, one of the certainties of the NFL offseason is that mock drafts quickly turn into “mocked drafts,” as we all look back and see just how many picks we got wrong. Coming into last year’s draft, the majority of pundits had the Baltimore Ravens either bolstering the offensive line, or going with N’Keal Harry or D.K. Metcalf as their first-round receiver.
In a year with so many additional uncertainties due to the pre-draft limitations caused by COVID-19, it has become increasingly difficult to predict what will happen. And if one NFL general manager’s words have any truth to them, we could be in for a lot of surprises next Thursday.
