This is the time of year when every news report, insider source, and leaked bit of information must be taken with a grain of salt when it comes to the NFL Draft. We’re simply too close to the actual date of the draft itself, that each and every development you read about has as much chance of being deliberate misinformation/a smokescreen as it does of being a legitimate scoop.
That being said, it’s still awfully fun to speculate. And with so much intrigue and theorizing occurring as we approach the final few days before the event itself gets underway in Nashville, it’s worth examining some of the more substantiated rumors to see if they might hold water down the road.
