The NFL draft is kind of a shitty time if you consume any sports media.

It's the only time of year that a vast majority of analysis gets locked behind paywalls.

Lol, none of this really bothers me. I actually get good Browns info, and not all the random tomfoolery. I would say to Floy and Wes, don't let all these reports drive you crazy. Few ppl actually know what the browns are doing, most are just speculating.

also a lot of these rumors are on the assumption that Trubisky actually is the Browns top ranked qb. Sure they like him, but I'm skeptical if he's actually number 1. If we did the mock again I might place Mahomes at 12.

This is from a day ago, from one of the only ppl who is a Browns insider and knows what's going on. Doesn't spread his stuff on twitter much though, but he can provides sanity amongst all the reports.

There are two QBs above all the Browns like in this draft and don’t follow the conventional wisdom or emotion

One last thing ppl are assuming all these teams are spreading smoke to try and get the browns to take Trubisky number 1, at the same time have you considered browns are spreading smoke themselves 🤔🤔🤔

We could very well end up with Trubisky, but not at one. Just don't freak out at every report, stop disappointing me Floy boi.

There is good incentive for agents/players/teams to use people like Schefter as a back channel for information they shouldn't be privy to. FA CB X wants to know what FA CB Y is negotiating for so they do not undershoot the market, for example. Schefter confirmed that is how he gets most of his information when he was on Mike and Mike, a quid pro quo exchange of information. It works out for Schefter and others like him because he gets to be an ESPN insider and get paid.

What is the incentive for teams to leak their draft boards to the media? Disinformation I can see, but real information is more likely to harm them than help them.

Basically what I am saying is media insiders are way more accurate about free agent signings, players pushing for a trade, etc. than they will be about the draft.
