Anyone else hate the mock draft "catfishing" that goes on this time of year?

Maybe catfishing not the right word. 

 

Example: I'm scrolling on my phone and "Chargers trade Austin Ekeler to Eagles for late 1st" strikes my eyeballs.

 

Then I read "Seven Round Mock Draft" and "Chiefs take 3 WR".

 

Oh.

 

Wish I were savvy enough to adjust my newsfeed to not show me shite like that.

its 24/7 with all types of news and whatever is trending...

Shock headlines drives emotion, emotionally charged people bring the clicks, clicks pay the bills.

 

People are chasing money, and every moral line have been or will be crossed to acheive it

My dad gets these all the time.  Like Lamar Jackson re-signing with Baltimore for 2 years and 110M.  Or Rodgers being traded.

 

I have to tell him that's click-bait garbage from low grade outfits and check a true source like ESPN or, dare I say it, TBD.  ;)

I I'm not first in line save my spot for me. 

Will do.

 

On a somewhat more serious note, I see some people giving others grief for looking ahead to future drafts.  Speaking for myself only, I like to look ahead for a few reasons:

 

- I know Bills management is looking ahead, and being a fan of the team I enjoy speculating what they may be planning / observing.

- Future mock drafts (1-2 years out) give me an idea who to pay attention to in college football.  So many teams, so little time, the future mock drafts help me to narrow my focus when watching the college FB action.

- On a personal level, I enjoy the planning process.  In fact, I do it for a living for the US Government here in Hawaii.  So that extends to my hobbies like following the Bills.

Who is Catfish and what round ?

 

 

House, come on.  You are better than this.  If you are just going to phone it in and save all the good stuff until draft night then...

 

...I gotta be honestly with ya, I had nothing past that.  

 

I'll still be here regardless.

 

Have a good one.  Go Bills.
