#1145 Move Swiftly Thought đ- âStop the Mock Drafts,âđ¤Śđżââď¸đâ
Alright, Iâve had enough of this nonsense. I just read Mel Kiperâs latest mock draft (linked below), and while I *do* respect Melâs hustle as a Maryland guy and what heâs built for himself as the godfather of draft analysis, this madness has to STOP. Mock drafts are destroying the sport we love.
Instead of players making college decisions based on *whatâs actually important*âlike their education, personal development, or the right system for their growthâtheyâre getting distracted by meaningless draft projections. These projections are turning recruiting and college football into a circus, feeding this narrative that everything has to revolve around the NFL pipeline.
And letâs not forget, the NFL doesnât even have a solid feeder system! So why are we putting all this attention on predictions that donât even hold water half the time? Itâs all about hype and headlines, and itâs creating distractions for players, fans, and even coaches. Enough is enough.
If youâre tired of seeing football turned into a nonstop media frenzy with no regard for the integrity of the game, youâre gonna want to watch this. Letâs talk about how we can put an end to this mock draft obsession.
