Draft season is too long. In the four months between the end of the season and the first round of the draft, hundreds of college prospects are evaluated, praised, torn apart, and reevaluated constantly. Just take a look at what draft analysis were mocking in January compared to now.
Sure, plenty has changed between now and then. The Combine happened, and so did Pro Days. News has come out, which is rarely good, regarding injuries, character issues, and who knows what else. And there have been rumors... there is never a shortage of rumors.
But while all of this information can be helpful in the right context, it also creates this weird environment where what seemed appealing just a few short weeks ago is suddenly repulsive.
