A Washington State football player didn’t go in the 2017 NFL Draft until the 7th round. The Raiders used their 221st overall pick to select Shalom Luani. It was a good way to round out the third day of the draft for Coug fans. But, next year, we may not have to wait as long to hear a Cougar get picked... That is if you believe mock drafts that come out 362 days early. And why wouldn’t you?
Every year, media outlets try to capitalize on the hype around the draft by releasing their “way too early” mock drafts predicting the first round picks for next season.
