It’s the weekend before the NFL Draft and the rumor mills are flying with activity. Smoke and mirrors, cloak and dagger, every team is floating rumors of who they are interested in through their local media members.
What the teams are actually doing is like playing a game of poker. They’re watching to see if any of the other teams might show a tell, give away what their true intentions are about certain players. Sometimes the rumors are correct. Last year, the Giants selecting QB Daniel Jones was the hot rumor. Many pundits dismissed this rumor, however the Giants pulled the trigger with the 6th pick and now have their QB of the future.
