I think we are all more than well aware of the fact that the period between the end of the Super Bowl and the start of free agency is one dedicated to mock drafts and lists of various sorts. It’s one of the two chief ‘dead times’ of the NFL calendar, the other being the end of minicamp to the start of training camp in the summer.
Sports outlets from the top to the bottom, including ourselves, spend quite a bit of time sorting various things into lists and rankings in order to pass the time, to generate discussion, and yes, to generate revenue as well, since, you know, there’s not a whole lot else to talk about within the NFL right now.
