NFL Draft 2011: News And Rumors Before Round One Kicks Off
Leading up to to next Thursday there will be a boatload of draft rumors. That’s usually what we see in the week or so before the NFL draft as some important information is leaked and some teams intentionally leak misinformation to help their cause. For example, a team could leak out negative information on a particular player in the hopes that others pass on him and he drops to that team. Or, teams could leak out information indicating they really like one player and possibly get another team to beat and reach on that player.
By this point, teams have done their evaluations and a lot of what you hear by now is misinformation being spread. The draft is a strategic game and NFL teams are paranoid about their true draft plans getting out.
