We're starting to get close to Draft Day, so I was curious to see some projections. One of the cooler innovations of the past year or two is the advent of mock draft machines. There's three that I know of:
Fan Speak:
https://fanspeak.com/ontheclock-nfl-mock-draft-simulator/I like Fan Speak because you get to see and use different boards. Matt Miller and Scott Wright both have fairly recent boards up, and they're two guys who have been in the draft business for a while and generally know what they're talking about. The only downside is you can't choose a fast mode; it's a bit slow. But First World Problems, and all.
The Draft Network:
https://thedraftnetwork.com/mock-draft-machineTDN was the first draft machine I ever encountered. I think they make regular updates to their board, but I often find some of the rankings a bit off. So when I'm going through and a Day 2 guys is available late in the 6th, I kind of roll my eyes and select someone more likely to be around. But they have a fast mode and you can plow through quickly.
PFN
https://profootballnetwork.com/mockdraft/I just ran across this one the other day, so it was cool to see a new one. On the plus side, their fast mode is REALLY fast. Their board seems a bit better than TDN's, but not as realistic as Miller or Wright on Fan Speak.
In any event, any other draft machines out there? I'll probably post the results of a mock every so often; it'd be cool to see some others to get a feel for who people are targeting and where they might be available.
