BBI Mock Draft 2021 - how does it compare?

Sean : 5/2/2021 11:21 am
Final results linked below. For the Patriots, I did have Mac Jones going #15 in that spot. I also took Aaron Robinson in the 2nd round who ended up with the Giants.

I liked the McPherson pick in the 7th round, who ended up going in the 5th round. I feel there is good value in having a strong kicker. Aside from that though, I did poorly - a lot of my picks went undrafted. What was your favorite pick based on how the results went?

Based on the mock, Toney, Ojulari & Robinson all went in the first 2 rounds.

Thanks, Ira.

As we all can see, not even close. Ha! My primary issue is, unlike the Giants, I did not have the option to trade down. I would have considering my top target, Devonta Smith, was long gone when it was my turn. I am pleased that my selection of Jamin Davis appears to have been an excellent value considering where he went in the actual draft. However, I didn't do as well with my other selections as they all went after where I picked them up. Most not too far off where I got them, and they all were ultimately drafted which is a good look good for me. A little.

If I was more in tune with the Giants, I would have likely taken Waddle with my first pick. I suspect they weren't as nervous about his durability issues, as I was. Also, I would have targeted CBs with my selections. The Giants considered them a higher priority than I did. Funny, I was hoping to snag Elerson Smith in the mock draft, but he went before I could select him. I liked what I read about him online, so I was particularly happy when the Giants made him their 4th round pick.

6 of my picks for the Cowboys went in the top 100 of the actual draft

not bad plus I got 2 of my Cowboys picks right in Josephs and Golston.

The Orlando Brown trade drastically changed what the Ravens had in real life and would have changed my Mock Draft.

Some went earlier than I selected (such as Zaven Collins, Davis Mills, and Dez Fitzpatrick), others went later, but all of my draft picks (not counting UDFA) were drafted in real life and a few of my UDFA ended up being drafted.
The first 5 picks I made

All went later than I had them. However the last 3 went earlier and I got the Tyree Gillespie pick right so I will call it a not my best. Now let’s see how it actually turns out in 3 years or even next year
The IRL Chargers executed my mock draft plan to perfection.

1. OT Slater
2. Best available CB (Samuel)
3A, 3B, etc: best available WR, TE, Edge, DL, IOL, etc.

In the Mock Draft, that plan went out the window when MadPlaid took Slater. Then I panicked and took the wrong corner at 13 (Farley instead of Horn). On the positive side, I landed the same developmental TE in the fifth round that the real Chargers took late in the third. Then again, I spent fourth and sixth round picks on players who didn’t get drafted at all.
Both myself..

and the Panthers drafted Tommy Tremble. Other than that, I'm not sure the spread. I had the Panthers picking Leatherwood in the 2nd, but the Raiders made sure that didn't happen by taking him in the 1st!
I got the positions right for the Fish in RD 1 with a WR at 6 and an

EDGE rusher at 18, only the players were different. I picked Chase, but the Bungles took him at 5, so the Fish took Jaylen Waddle in real life. At 18, I took Kwitty Paye, but the Fish took Phillips in the actual draft. Heckuva gamble. Let's see what happens.

Signing Clowney eliminated their biggest need which happened after/during the draft:

1.26 Joe Tryon, Edge - Washington Actual-1.32 (-6)
2.59 Richie Grant, S - UCF Actual - 2.40 (+19)
3.89 Ronnie Perkins, Edge - Oklahoma Actual- 3.96 (-7)
3.91 Paulson Adebo, CB - Stanford Actual- 3.76 (+15)
4.110 D'Wayne Eskridge, WR - Western Michigan Actual- 2.56 (+54)
4.132 Marlon Tuipulotu, DL - USC Actual- 6.189 (-57)
5.169 Jacob Harris, WR - UCF Actual- 4.141 (+28)
6.211 Jaylon Moore, OL - Western Michigan Actual- 5.155 (+56)

Also had UDFA Darrick Forrest go in the 5th round.

In terms of identifying talent I got more right (good value) than wrong. I also think I identified positions of need and skill sets properly but signing Clowney changed a lot.
