Now that we have that out of the way let's take a look at how the industry has come alone , starting in mid February every year until May the so called experts are on screen some where telling the public how this player is or that player can't now remember they have a first mock draft which are in stone right "wink wink" then as soon as the combine is completed those same experts all of sudden have a second mock draft which players fall or move up according to how great they did wearing shorts and t-shirt not what was conducted on the field of play.

Then you guessed it their is a third mock draft board which again this same expert claims he now has it all figured out .

The sham in this mockery of mocks is that it has created an industry of all the meanings listed for the word itself the game of choosing talent is a gamble and there are no guarantee's it's no different than hiring one potential employee over another somethimes you guess right and others well you know, it's just a simple dart board game if you don't hit it the first time why not throw the other two darts and just maybe one will hit the spot.

I just wanted to cover this topic a bit it hasn't  made it to the youth level completely (right) but in some ways  some coaches have fell for this mockery who's to say some bias hasn't crossed a coaches mind when he chooses in the youth mock draft of players played out of course as real at the youth level.
