The summer months are almost here, so it’s time to start “fantasy” mocking! In the first of our series of mock drafts, we at Sports Illustrated (with some of our industry pals) got together for a 12-team, 13-round mock.

On some level I think everyone has a little carried trauma from childhood. If you’re lucky it’s minor, and has a very small impact on your life — but not everyone is so fortunate. The penultimate episode of Ted Lasso is a study on how we cope with childhood trauma, how we move past it, and how we reconcile it with those who saw it, but didn’t have the capacity to help.
