Thank you for reading Mock Draft version 5,629,383. I polled a sample of GMs, head coaches and scouts around the league, trying a variety of approaches to cut through the smokescreens that will inevitably cloud the next eight days before the draft begins. In several conversations, I referred to mock drafts as the “scourge of my business,” only to be told that every team reads them anyway, though some are valued more than others depending on byline (greetings, trash bin). I also decided to ask casually a few times, “So, who are y’all drafting?” which elicited a mix of “best player available lol” and emojis with unclear meanings.
