Nothing screams NFL Combine like mock drafts. The combine is like the St. Louis Arch; instead of the "Gateway to the West," it's the "Gateway to the Draft." The 300 or so athletes that will show up in Indianapolis this week could help their draft positions or sink them.
Teams like the Miami Dolphins have a lot riding on their draft this year, which makes what they do with their time at the combine that much more important. Aside from a potential Tua Tagovailoa deal, the draft will be the focus.
The combine will shake up mock drafts, so naturally, the draftniks out there, like guru Mel Kiper, need to get a pre-combine mock posted so they can show a better representation of the risers and the fallers after the combine has concluded.
