It allows me to know a little bit more about the potential players and teams in researching matches. ![]() You’re more likely to look like a bumbling boob than a football genius when the actual picks are made. To answer your second, which is probably, “why?”: Mock drafts are inevitably an exercise in futility. To answer your first question: Yes, I am an insane person.
