Is There Such A Thing As A Mock Draft Where 3rd Round Reversal Is Used (1 Viewer)

Our league loves the '3rd round reversal' as it tries to close the gap between the 1st & 12th picks.

I have the 1st pick this year but once the 3rd round comes it's like I'm in the 12th slot.

 
We did this back when we had our first draft in our Dynasty league in 2001. (League I commish)

Personally I like it.

Here is what it looks like in comparison

Standard draft order - snake order

Team 1 = #1, #24, #25, #48 #49

Team 12 = #12, #13, #36, #37, #60

I think team 1 has a decided advantage. In most years there is a decided top 1-3 picks. This year ADP and MJD seem to be the consensus. Team 1 in this case gets 3 top 25 players including the #1 guy. Team 12 only has 2 top 25 players and nobody in the top 10.

Modified format - 1-12, 12-1, 12-1, reverse snake order.

Team 1 = #1, #24, #36, #37, #60

Team 12 = #12, #13, #25, #48, #49

To me this seems more equitable. Team 12 has three players in the top 25 but nobody in the top 10. Team 1 has the advantage of #1 player overall, two top 25 players - and solid picks at the #36 and #37 spots.

I have played in all kinds of leagues - and believe me it sucks when you pick #1 and you don't get those back to back picks at #12 and #13. But in the end - I have found this format produced more balanced teams.

All this is just my opinion - I think there are some more in depth articles that discuss this somewhere on the site.

 
As for mock drafts are concerned - and more to the point of your question - I have never seen it. I just look at the order players are taken to get an overall idea of their value.

 
Just go to Mock Draft Central and sign up for an NFFC mock draft and it will be with 3RR

(should be both 14 and 12 team mocks with that format)
