Here it is. And that. One and only one. The PFT’s annual mock draft.
I don’t put it all together. I don’t even make changes to it. I outsource to people I trust. People whose names you would recognize.
For everything we got right, I don’t deserve credit. For anything that is wrong, I cannot escape the blame. I understand.
That’s why I almost didn’t do it. One of these years, I won’t do it. It’s a tool to frame the discussion, or something like that. We have all the discussion we need. And the world has more mock drafts than it could ever want or need.
Here’s one more. Go ahead and say how bad it is, or something. Everyone is a genius before choices are made. And then choices are made and that’s all that matters.
