James Lofton Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Some mocks seem so off base. I'm wondering who you think has a track record of close-ish mock drafts, because it's virtually impossible to get it right on. I'm talk'n about who seems to get it close. In my opinion Bob McGinn (formally a local reporter) was one of the best and Mike Mayock was pretty good too. But neither are anymore. So where so you go for a strong mock and please post a link.

OneTwoSixFive Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 The best (if memory serves) was that Dallas newspaper guy who, doesn't do it any more. McGinn was pretty good, but only gave a mock immediately before the draft. Mayock wasn't bad, but he is GM at the raiders so nothing there either. I have more faith in 'The Bleacher Report' mock than most mocks, (it's only a one round mock) but I haven't checked the figures.................. time for a web search..... Here is a link that might interest you. The Huddle Report has the best mockers and they give a list of the top ones over the years. https://www.thehuddlereport.com/mock.scores.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blankman0021 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 The Draft Network guys are a good listen. Not sure their history on mocks, but they seem to do their homework on the prospects at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Gosselin from the Dallas Morning News used to be the best .. as you mentioned he gave it up a few years ago. Now he is known for his yearly special teams rankings.

Norm Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 There's a website out there that puts a ton of guys final mock into a system that keeps track of their hits and it goes back a few years but I'm struggling to find it rn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaRisMa Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 No one. It’s Impossible to predict accurately. Find someone who can logically walk you through why each pick makes the most sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Lofton Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 I went though some of the top ones and wasn't super impressed, but came upon draft ace which seems to be a bit outside of the box, but in a believable way. https://www.draftace.com/nfl-mock-draft/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannondale Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 https://www.thehuddlereport.com/mockdrafts.shtml Almost every year there is a new winner - but there are 5 year averages on some guys. McGinn has probably hit GB's pick more than others over the years, which is saying something considering the draft slots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blankman0021 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Bill Barnwell is well spoken. Haven’t checked it out yet, but this one has trades which makes for an interesting read. https://es.pn/2VO4s6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaireAlex Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Maycock and McGinn had some insider knowledge esp as draft day neared. Interesting McGinn has slipped. Perhaps more out of the loop now. They had a better feel for certain players. McGinn's forte was guessing the top 100 picks IIRC. Every NFL team has a different board. So, it is hard to predict. Also meds are big and those often come out after the draft (Dexter Lawrence had a real strange nerve damage for instance). Not to mention the smoke has been coming out since January. Teams try hard to hide a couple guys they love more than others (like Jaire for GB last year) -- character plays a huge role and that word means so much more than mere off field stuff. Nothing is so predictive as true heart for the game and desire to be great. Anyways, I prefer following those guys who predict good players and not (the sometimes stupid) picks of (bad) FOs. GB I expect to have a great draft-- because they don't have to settle for "leftovers" in a deep draft with a ton of capital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubz41 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Always liked Dave-Te Thomas' takes on the drafts. Also tend to share same perspectives with Charlie Campbell on Walter's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
