Beat Writers are usually pretty accurate except for the draft. Teams tell their beat writers fake stuff on purpose for the draft, and those beat writers for some reason actually believe it. Mac Jones to the Niners at 3 is a prime example. You had all the Niner beat writers spreading the rumor Mac is the pick at 3. There was simply no chance in hell Mac was in consideration at 3, it was always Trey Lance, said it the entire draft season without wavering.

Our reporters haven't been right on much since Gruden/Mayock left. Most of our moves have come out of nowhere.

Nah there were major leaks in the building. Someone called into a Raiders podcast I listen too the day before the draft and said that Alex Leatherwood was who we were going to draft.

Locked on Raiders, you should check it out, I listen to it everyday.

That's the one I listen to everyday as well.  Thought you might have another.  Always looking for new material.

KRLV morning tailgate With Clay Baker, Heidi Fang and Vinnie Bonsignor is a good listen also

Possibly they are repeating the 'stories or hot takes' the teams want with a promise of later big news or the promise of breaking other stories, exclusive access after the draft and so on. In the above example, the writer probably didn't think that was going to happen just reporting it as the team wanted, scratch my back and I'll scratch yours type of thing. That would make sense 🙂
