Like, if CBSsports, ESPN, NFL.com, Walterfootball and SI all said Mack is a 2nd round prospect, do you think another group would have the balls to say "actually, he's a 5th round prospect' even if it were true?

I was never comfortable with Mack in the 2nd round. I would have liked him in the third round, but apparently even that would have been a reach haha. We'll see if he does anything in the NFL with the Browns.

It happens, mostly as clickbait. CBS has been horrible about it the last few years in regards to mock drafts. 

Look at the QBs. Some guys had Jones as a top 12, other guys said he'd be 2-3rd round. Some were saying Haskins would fall to the second. I forget if it was Rypien or Patterson, but one of them was anyone from 15th overall to UDFA.

A lot of it, I think, is just outlets being lazy and reading the same reports that the rest of them get. Every once in a while, someone hears something from a source or gets a tip and it drives the 'Haskins to slip, teams worried because he hates pasta!' headlines.
