Been playing around with a few. I usually just do a few rounds. This is one I recently discovered. https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/mock-draft-simulator I like the ones that allow trades, this one does that. I've also used: https://thedraftnetwork.com/mock-draft-machine https://fanspeak.com/ontheclock-nfl-mock-draft-simulator/index.php https://www.first-pick.com/ https://www.profootballnetwork.com/mockdraft/ Anyone else played around with any of these (or others)? Looking for any feedback and would love to see people post their results. Good luck fellow mockers!
Fanspeak was one I used originally but the letter grading drove me crazy so I've moved away from it this season. Then started using first pick when I realised that you didn't have to pay to do a mock draft with trades until I also realised that it was fairly easy to game the system and end up with about 50 picks in the first two rounds and build essentially a rookie super squad (It's also the only place I've been able to get Joe Burrow with the #18 pick). Now spending the last few weeks before the draft flicking between TDN and PFN. I enjoy PFN but there's something about it that doesn't sit right although I've not used it enough to figure out what bugs me yet.
I do an on the clock mock every year... Sometimes I do more than one.... I have yet to sit down and do one this year.... maybe my first will happen this evening... I have a quarter panel to paint in a few minutes.. but after that the night is wide open.
TDN is nice because if you set it to fast mode it can let you roll through a few mocks pretty quick. The issue with most is that if you do them enough, they tend to become predictable and let you "plan" for late rounds more than you likely can in reality. To combat that, I like ones that use composite boards made from multiple draft sites or people so it's not just one person's opinion. They're fun at any rate.

I didn't plan to use 14 picks but by the time I made a few trades, this ended up happening. Also grabbed a 2021 2nd from I want to say the Colts. Herbert went at 3 in this one to the Chargers. 5.

Ahh didn't see this post. I started using the draft network version yesterday. It is fun and with so many picks you really can chose to go in any direction. This version has Herbert drop to #18 often and at that point I take him. 5. Andrew Thomas 18. Herbert 26. Pat Queen 39. Austin Jackson 56. Jon Taylor 70. Donovan Peoples Jones
5 Round: 1 Justin Herbert QB | Oregon 18 Round: 1 Austin Jackson OT | USC 26 Round: 1 Cesar Ruiz IOL | Michigan 39 Round: 2 D'Andre Swift RB | Georgia 56 Round: 2 Ezra Cleveland OT | Boise Stat I seem to be following my same outlook here as when I play "War in the Pacific" [a huge WWII game]. Didn't someone once say "The best defense is a good offense."?
