NFL Draft season is filled with a lot of nonsense. We make mocks and big boards that only operate with a small fraction of the knowledge needed to properly scout players. We obsess over draft guides and test speeds and arm lengths.
One of the more interesting aspects of the pre-draft process is when NFL scouts talk to the media, almost always anonymously. While there are some scouts who likely use this opportunity to change the public perception of a prospect they like or dislike to their own benefit, a lot of times, it allows scouts to give their true thoughts about a player without a filter.
