Fanspeak Draft Simulator

[BlueUndertow]

Fanspeak's draft simulator now has the final draft order and an estimate of compensatory picks which now creates the most realistic scenario of what you might see in a draft.

You can try it here:

I've been running it for all seven rounds.

However, there are some problems with the big boards that are available to pick from.

The Fanspeak (2/11/16) draft board right now probably gives the most likely First Round Draft but has some strange rankings for later round players that are way too low.
The Drafttek (2/8/16) draft board has Joey Bosa listed as a OLB, so he keeps dropping to #8 which isn't going to happen.
The CBS (2/12/16) draft board has Jalen Ramsey as a S, which isn't a top need for the top picks so he drops to #8
The Bleacher Report (1/18/16) draft board also has Jalen Ramsey as a S and only #11, so again he always drops to #8.

I personally think the CBS draft board has the best overall rankings.

Use whichever big board you want, but it is soo unlikely that Bosa, Tunsil or Ramsey drops to #8, even if they show as available, I skip them due to their unlikelihood.

Here's one of my drafts that I ran (using the CBS big board). Please post yours:

I wouldn't consider a RB until 5th round. Team has too many needs on defense and Oline

OK, here's mine. I did 4 rounds using the CBS rankings. Before you ran me, I know. A Kicker? But he is a special kicker that could have a bigger impact on wins & losses than any position player left at that point.

Been occasionally using this simulator to trest out various combos of players. Always using the CBS prospect rankings, which are the best of a bad bunch.

Up to recently, it;'s been like shooting fish in a barrel, with so many great players undervalued. Since the Senior Bowl and other games, the rankings have tightened up quite a bit and the mock drafts are harder. Much harder to draft for need now. There are runs at certain positions and if you don't get in there, the dregs aren't very appealing.

It isn't a very scientific exercise, but it's useful to try to see how you can get quality players plus fill a few holes. If you really are just drafting best player on your "board" then at least the rankings have gotten a bit more reflective of the players themselves. Certainly the CBS list has improved, I haven';t tried the others.

Welp:

I used Walter's:

1) Jalen Ramsey, S
2) Jaylon Smith, LB (No, really. He was there.)
3) Cody Whitehair, G (No, really. He was there.)
4) Harlan Miller, CB - SE Lousiana
5) Charles Tapper, DE - Oklahoma (No, really. He was there.)
6) Josh Forrest, ILB - Kentucky
7) James Bradberry, CB - Samford


If we get anything close to this...well, just wow.
