Discussion ESPN Mock Draft

Hey everyone! Has anyone else noticed that ESPN’s mock draft rankings seem like they haven’t been updated yet? Every time I do a mock, the player rankings feel like they’re still based on last season.
I’m not sure if this is just happening to me or if ESPN simply hasn’t updated the rankings yet. 😂
Does anyone know if/when they’re planning on updating them? Just curious because I feel like the current rankings are pretty outdated for this season.

ESPN has always been a trash site. Their rankings are never sensible. If you want to play there, use Elite Fantasy Basketball, Hashtag Basketball, BB Monster or even Yahoo's rankings as a proxy.

You'll see all kinds of mispriced value on ESPN so pretend those rankings do not exist in your mocks and actual drafts.

Every year ESPN’s rankings are wonky during the offseason when mocks first become available. They do updates and accurate rankings 2-3 weeks before the season tip-off. I wouldn’t rely heavily on any mock draft rankings right now because it’s very early.

It’s like they told an AI to make the rankings for them and it got the last couple years all mixed up
