Besides the Super Bowl, the draft is arguably the biggest singular event on the NFL calendar. It’s not hard to see why: all 32 teams and their fanbases are invested in it, and there is eternal optimism surrounding every franchise and the potential to add promising talent to the roster.
Needless to say, there is plenty of interest in all things draft. One prominent part of that is the ever-moving rumor mill.
The speculation about where players might end up is part of the appeal of the pre-draft process, of course. However, it also is something that might not necessarily be a reflection of actual NFL reality a lot of the times.
