Da webster guy Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 By now we've seen a ton of mock drafts, each one of them different from the next one. Just to remind you that nobody has ANY clue, Google up yourself some 2018 NFL.mocks and get ready to laugh at how hopelessly wrong they all are. Not only will it show you how the draft experts are completely in the dark on this whole thing, it also gives a glimpse into how incredibly different the NFL would look if some of these guys were right. ( ie.Josh Allen and Chubb to Browns and we take Rosen and VanDerEsch) With the exception of Saquon to the Gmen, most of them have zero correct picks. Zero. And we think weathermen are wrong a lot..... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Fischer Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I'm far less interested in guessing where players could be selected than I am in how players were (and are) ranked. Much more concerned about which players are correctly evaluated rather than which team they'll end up. "This guy is going to be great/awful" is a much stronger indication of draft prowess than guessing where they will play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 ?♂️ I had 4 exactly right and 11 teams with the correct position, but wrong player. My best year, by far, was 2015. I got 10 perfect player-team pairings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not always get the team right but but he was super accurate in the range the player went. Ward was the curveball last year in the top 5.

And we think weathermen are wrong a lot..... In fairness if they had us taking Rosen and VDE they got both positional picks right. Nailing exact matches as a mocker is hard, because you don't know every team's board. Getting the right position is a decent effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only had 2 exact matches last year - Barkley (which was the gimme) and LVDE. I also had two player and team matches that I mocked for round 1 and happened in later rounds and 9 right position wrong player. My best was 7 exact matches and 11 positional matches in 2015. My 2018 mock was below my usual standard. My average is 4/5 exact matches. 2 minutes ago, eball said: And yet still a senseless waste of time. I will never understand the "mock draft" phenomenon. I enjoy it. It's a bit of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 How many trades were there in the first round last year on draft day..? From memory it was about 7 or so.. No one obviously is going to be able to predict where these end up, but I still find mock drafts handy to give some idea about players who are expected to go in the early rounds..

Might not always get the team right but but he was super accurate in the range the player went. Ward was the curveball last year in the top 5. his write up is foreshadowing... Dude is 6-foot-5, 237 pounds. He's the same size as Carson Wentz with bigger arm talent and he's a better athlete. Out of maybe any player in this draft, his upside might be the highest. I don't think he's ready Day 1, but if he can get over some hurdles, he's going to be special. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he see the future, I mean the Barr hurdle was incredible. I'd love to see Mayock's mock this year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
