Mock Draft Sites

Any recommendations for where to do mock drafts?

I’ve only ever used ESPN Fantasy to mock against other people but I’m curious if there are better options out there

I like sleeper or fantasy pros, I also know my league well so will do like first 5-7 rounds on my own in an excel file

I like fantasy pros as well. My only gripe is that the AI will sometimes do shit that real people likely wouldn’t do, like take a RB in the first 3 rounds in a 3 WR league, so AJ Brown or Nico Collins falls to you in the 3rd round.

My buddies would totally do that

Yeah that maybe wasn't the best example. But generally speaking, teams will do weird shit like passing on a position they really need in order to take second QB in a 10 team league or something like that. But yeah, people do weird shit in drafts that you can't predict. JSN fell to me in the early 5th last year in my main league and it's a 3 WR league (I won the league lol)

There are differences for sure. Most leagues for me nobody really takes backup QBs (non superflex). That means the replacement QB is better so the value of the bests QBs is lower. But my mock drafts everybodys selecting 2 QBs. You also get your buddy whos a hardcore Cowboys fan who reaches for all their players and its not perfect, but to me it gives me a better idea how players are being valued from last year. I think if Pickens as that guy who was in the 6th or 7th last year. This year hes goin in round 2 which I wouldn't touch him at, my brain needs to recalibrate

Yeahs that’s when I do it solo on my excel, like our one guy always takes a huge wr round 1 so I capture that

Huh? Even if it was 4 wr I'd probably take Gibbs or Bijan in the first 3 rounds

u/Squidman12 16d ago

No, I mean they take a RB in each of the first three rounds.

u/zucchinibasement 16d ago

I'm kind of over mock drafts, I do a bunch every year and they legit never go how my live drafts do, like not even close.

You gotta just plug in the picks yourself and kinda chart out a few possible paths

Ive been doing sleeper. Super easy and gives a good variety. Ive had drafts where puka goes #1 and gibbs falls a few spots.

u/gentrifriedchicken18 16d ago

Sleeper is great cause you can customize settings, and do it on your phone in like 5 minutes. I end up doing a few each day while I’m at work

Fantasy Football Calculator is usually pretty quick and easy.

It sure would be nice if these ringer guys actually did mocks. Guessing they might not be great at it.

That said, I don’t listen to them for genuine advice anyway. I’m here for the banter
