We’ve reached the point in the offseason where there is an over-saturation in mock drafts. Some of them just sound outright silly. Thankfully the NFL draft is less than two weeks away, so the real thing will finally put this episode to rest.
This will be Jon Gruden’s second go around in the draft since returning to the Oakland Raiders. Last year’s draft was a bit unorthodox from the Raiders standpoint. Both Gruden and former general manager Reggie McKenzie had their own draft boards.
The draft itself was not conducted as a complete team, thus foreshadowed the 2018 regular season.
