April is the month of draft speculation. Smoke screens appear all month, and it’s hard to differentiate between true and made-up. Agents obviously want to get the word out that their players are incredible, and they do that by talking to media people. The same media people, however, talk to team officials and get told about their plans. Many of those plans are fake.
Everyone has an agenda, and despite those rumors and news, nobody knows what will happen in the draft. That makes the event special, and round one is one of the most interesting days in all of sports.
