What, you thought differential equations and intermediate microeconomics were gonna prevent me from running a mock draft? Y’all should know better by now. Anyway. Welcome to the Second Annual LothropSports Overthought NFL Mock Draft. I’ve done my best to grind tape and research as much as possible, but free time has been hard to come by. Nonetheless, I poured a lot of time and energy into this. Here’s how my annual Overthought Mock Draft works. I’ll project my picks for every team in their current draft spot, and only project a major trade I’m fairly sure will happen (spoiler alert: we will have one this year). I will probably make fun of your team’s front office in some capacity (sorry, New Yorkers who root for a team from New Jersey). No, you can’t get mad about it. For each pick, I’ll present the team’s needs and the player I project them to pick. My goal is to beat last year’s total of 6 correctly projected picks. Normally, online mocks project 6-10 picks correctly...
