There aren’t many football exercises in the media that are a bigger waste of intellectual time than year-early mock drafts. All you have to do is look at last year’s slate of 2021 NFL Mock drafts and see that players like Florida State DT Marvin Wilson (went undrafted), Stanford CB Paulson Adebo (third round), and Clemson wide receiver Justyn Ross (returning to Clemson) were just a few that were mocked to the Lions at eight overall last year.
But I have nothing against dumb fun. I get the appeal of stupidly fun things like the new “Mortal Kombat” movie.
