“Guessing where people will go” AKA “Mock Drafts” are WPA jobs for talking heads, either ex-jocks who can’t do anything else, or suits who never played any organized sports, but comment on “how he moves his hips”.. Keeps them off the streets.
One of the reasons I never got into fantasy sports. You’re doing the work of the coach/manager AND the GM, and you’re not getting paid the salary for either.
I take the entire combine with several barrels of salt. Outside of the height and weight measurements, the rest of them are false. The 40 yd dash? False. The high jump? False. broad jump? Yep, false. None of these involve the players in full equipment. Wake me when they run the 40 on a football field. Same for when they leap in full equipment.
At pro day, a QB don’t have his equipment on. Arm freer to move. Makes a slight difference, correct?

Which is what will happen to the Jets when they get yet another garbage player for their garbage pick.

My grandmother could do a better job than about 1/2 of the GMs. And she’s been dead for more than 20 years.

I agree with the caller. The 4 most heard words from fans, after the NFL draft and Free Agency deals : " WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? "
