Draft simulators...

[Jetstream Green]

Could you guys post the ones which you have used which seem to work the best. There was a popular one last year which I used for hours but no longer have the bookmark

They are 100% garbage. Only play with them for pure time-wasting fun, nothing more.

Are they supposed to be anything other than time wasting fun?

This by far is the best and I have used them all. It has both simulation for any team and any number of rounds, but also has live drafts scheduled daily with other fans taking their favorite teams each evening. You can sign up/reserve a team ahead of time or simply join in a few minutes before the scheduled draft. It has all teams and players analysis built in right at your fingertips, like team needs, draft pick values and multiple pick values added up automatically showing which side is valued highest in a potential trade, which position the teams picking before you are likely to need or pick, etc. The guy who made it seems to have incorporated all the things missing from all the other sites, making this one awesomely complete with all important info at your fingertips as you progress through the draft. Only thing it doesn't do is give draft synopsis on all individual players. That would be a bit much really. You need to know about the players on your own or simply have another site opened to read up on a given player if need by.

Actually they are not bad. I went through a lot of different simulations and the constant was always some good WR's and CB's are still available in rounds 3-4. I really want Reuben Foster or Mahomes in the first round. What would also be suitable is if Foster is not there dropping into the late teens and grabbing Mahomes or Watson if they are available. There are to many middle of the pack QB's and not enough teams.

Prefer Watkins over another QB at #13, but could see Mahomes if BA is willing to stand on the table for the kid. I like the rest of your mock (though I'd opt to draft an OG like Feeney or Siragusa if available at #77). Agree with you about #198 and #232 and would probably load up on a WR (Robinette?) or CB there.

I thought about Feeney in round 2 but he was gone in round 3. I think the Cardinals need a piece or twoon defense but will need lots of help on offense real soon.

I ran the simulator a few times and Mahomes wasnt always there.

What I want if feasible is a trade back and draft Mahomes. In round three there was still lots of good talent but most of the name CBs were gone.

Baker will play and probably be pretty good from day one.

Henderson looks dynamic on tape and has a knack for scoring TDs. He might be a returner option but will contribute on offense in the slot. I wanted an outside receiver but the better options were gone after round 2.

too many think they are accurate projections

Doubtful Harris and Elflein are available at those picks.

The simulators lack what we all lack, the actual boards of the respective NFL teams but I found that with the updated boards provided, Mahomes, Kizer, Watson and the Trubisky are all off the board by round 2. Will this be a fact of the draft, probably not, but it does say you cannot take a chance if you really want one
