Fanspeak dream draft

BarbieCarpenter : 4/18/2014 1:13 pm
I'm not sure if this draft simulator has been posted on here but it's actually pretty fun. http://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/

You load up a big board and the algo makes picks for every team until it's your turn. Here is how mine turned out:

12 OT ZACK MARTIN NOTRE DAME
43 DE TRENT MURPHY STANFORD
74 TE AUSTIN SEREFIN-JENKINS WASHINGTON
113 WR DONTE MONCRIEF OLE MISS

So has http://first-pick.com/Default.aspx. The trading has been upgraded at first as well. No more getting second round picks to move down 4 spots.
Here we go.

Using Walter Football:

Rd1: OLB KHALIL MACK (BPA)

Rd2: DT TIMMY JERNIGAN (BPA. Chose him over #2 BPA Odell Beckham and have some regrets.)

Rd3: TE TROY NIKLAS (Need. Best TE available and 13th BPA.)

Rd4: WR MARTAVIS BRYANT (NEED. Best WR available.)

Rd5: DE BRENT URBAN (2nd BPA, chose him for size over DE James Gayle of VT)

Rd5: C RUSSELL BODINE (20th BPA. Chose him because I didn't want to wait any longer to add OL.)

Rd6: OT CORNELIUS LUCAS (Need.)
Mine from fanspeak.

I'd be ecstatic if this was possible:

12.) Khalil Mack (BPA, just to good to pass up)
43.) Su'a Filo ( BPA/ Need)
74.) Troy Niklas (BPA and need, was targeting a weapon and it was either him or J. Landry)
113.) Cody Latimer (Need, Value pick)
152.) Brandon Thomas (Need and BPA, Thomas may been seen as a waste because he isn't playing this year, but he's way to talented to have slip any further, he is a future starting OT or OG in this league.)
174.) Jay Bromley (Need, grabbed for depth andI like his upside)
187.) Russell Bodine (Need, depth)

I have done this simulation a lot of times

But try being any other team and then look at the Giants draft as done by the simulator. I have not found one that I like.
^ Interesting information

I would guess that the algorithms used in these simulators heavily favor whatever team (person) is doing the picking.
