Who Was The Most Successful With Their Mock Drafts? (1 Viewer)

[salmonstud]

I enjoyed reading the countless mock drafts over the past 3 months on the board. What were the Mockers hit/miss ratio for round 1? What sports writer had the best hit rate? Who do we take more seriously next year based on their draft predictions this season? If you had a good year with your picks....please step forward and brag about it a little.....you deserve it.

Gosselin was 9 for his first 15 . . . I don't know how that compares . . .

Nolan N (from PFW) was 12 for 15 . . .

That has to be very close to the best prediction if it's not THE best.

I didn't ahve much to crow about once Quinn didn't go 3rd and Thomas went 4th. That started a chain reaction of disaster. i had 5 of the first 15 right and I'm probably the only person that was so close on HArrell (a moral victory).

Alos, I've been hacking on the Titans taking Griffin even though I had him as S2 going to Jax at 17. I like Griffin as a player, don't like him as a 1st round pick to Ten.

How'd Rang do? IIRC He pulled a rabbit out of his hat last year with his accuracy

I got 6 exactly correct in the 1st round...what do I win?

 

[Jason Wood]

Mock drafts are really fun to write, read and dissect. But I've never understood the point of evaluating them for their correctness afterwards. One would think there's a presumption of failure and anything beyond that is gravy.

At least I'm in good company then.

You evaluate them afterwards Jason because it's still the end of April and early May. What else do you do after the first few days of the draft besides answer: Who's your top 10 Dynasty now topics.

Eh.Got Russell, Calvin, Adams, Merriweather, and Peterson.

 

[culdeus]

did anyone predict Ginn?

 

[QuizGuy66]

EG72 probably came closest (7th to Minnesota) though I think one of the mock contests entrants had him at #10. Everyone else was 17th or lower that I saw.

For the hyped draftniks:

Gosselin 1st in the top 100, but comes in 2nd to the dark horse: Clark Judge? Wow!

Jay Glazer was 3rd, and Chad Thmopson from NFL Answers( ) was 3rd.

Scott Wright from NFL Draft Countdown was tied for 32nd.

Me too. Only got 1 after that being Nelson to Jax.

Glad you don't work for NASA.

I don't do mock drafts.

My rookie rankings didn't hit the nail on the head, but they're not meant to predict NFL draft order and I had already made changes to them prior to the draft (keeping that under wraps for a couple weeks due to impending FBG-loaded rookie drafts).

I was right about Ginn being the second WR off the board and about Irons being the third RB taken. I was also right about Anthony Gonzalez going to San Diego or Indy in the first.

My IDP sleeper, Stanford LB Michael Okwo, was taken earlier than anyone expected.

that figures! he and his alias, andy dufresne.... god only knows how many MORE aliases he and Bloom used. There seemed to be WAY too MANY mocks tied to nfldraftguys, for that be a coincidence..I wonder did they use a home pc and/or a library pc..?

too much time on their hands...

Bump. In case anyone missed the entertainment.

Nice link

Casserly did a mock for Sportsline? Where's that? I'd like to read his comments

The right hand side has 10k names from "New Era Scouting" yet I can't find anyone from GB North which is on the left and did very well.

Plus how did "Harry Away's draft page" from 2005 get so many right in the 2007 draft? THAT is either a typo or extremely impressive to do that 2 years ahead of time
