We’re less than one week from what figures to be a wild first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, so it’s time for the annual pre-draft SemiColumn, examining the latest & greatest (and stupidest) draft rumors we’re hearing to date.
I’ve said it a thousand times: i’m continually baffled by how football fans get frothed up beyond belief about mock drafts at this time of the year.
For me to finish over .500 this season, I would have to go 35-13 the last three weeks. That’s not happening. However, what is happening is the most pivotal week to playoff positioning. Let’s do this!
After perhaps my best week of the season, I had one of my worst and have abandoned all hopes of getting to 0.500. However, it’s the stretch run in the NFL and these games are going to be awesome.
Well, this was week was slightly better, but some huge misses.
Once again, another mediocre week for me, which somewhat represents most NFL teams this year other than the Patriots, Steelers, Chiefs, Eagles, Rams, Vikings, and Saints.
As a new wave of quarterbacks has joined the ranks in the NFL, the old guard seems to be dying down. Carson Palmer, Eli Manning, Phillip Rivers, and Ben Roethlisberger all seem to be beyond done.
It’s hard to believe that 30 of the 32 NFL teams will have completed a quarter of their season by Tuesday morning.
For the record: I still think mock drafts are stupid.
I’ve said it many times before, and i’ll say it once again: it amazes me how worked up people get about mock drafts, especially this early into the offseason.
