78thealltimegreat Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Easy subject whose your goto Mock draft...for me I love Walter Football they seem to really put the time into each team and not just throw names out there 6 1 1
cle23 Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) I quit using Walter Football a couple years ago when it was proven a ton of their "scouting" reports were copy and pasted from other various sites. And their "updated" mock draft is talking about whether the Jets will draft Wilson or stick with Darnold. Edited April 14, 2021 by cle23
Aussie Joe Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 The NFL has done a fantastic job of creating this several months long off season interest in an event that is so totally random... My thoughts are that no one does Mock drafting well... If I had to name a “favourite” it’s probably Chris Trapasso... if you don’t like who he mocks to you today, just wait until tomorrow... 1
BillsFanThru-N-Thru Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Don't really have a favorite one but I like going to this website that posts all the mock drafts in one place. I them can go thru each one and see what each one picks for the Bills. https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/ 2
whatdrought Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Walter football was my go to for several years until I realized that he sucks, his sight is poorly run, and he’s contrarian about stupid stuff to generate buzz. I like the Draft Network, and NFL.com’s mock drafts, but mocks are pretty pointless by and by. I use them to try and gauge where players value is, but that’s always hit and miss. 2 2
Blokestradamus Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 The Draft Network is the place that I trust the most in terms of draft evaluations. I don't always agree with Kyle and Joe but I've spent enough time following their work to know that the process they have in place is sound. I did notice that Crissy Froyd has done a few QB-related articles for them recently. I briefly worked with her when I was with BillsWire and she's a real smart cookie. Well worth a follow if you support LSU in particular. 1
GunnerBill Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Daniel Jeremiah and Matt Miller are my general "go to" guys. In terms of accurate mock drafts @thebandit27 formerly of this parish had a pretty consistent record. 2
DJB Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) Here is my favourite mock I came across https://www.unknownNFLscout.com (tons of great insider info in here from an unknown NFL scout. It also includes a huge Bills trade rumor) Edited April 14, 2021 by DJB
YoloinOhio Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 The Draft Network if you love draft talk on from those whose job it is to watch film on prospects, recommend the Draft Dudes podcast with Kyle crabbs and Joe Marino I like Daniel Jeremiah too as he is a former scout Matt Miller is another with a good history 1

For me its TDN and everyone else is a ways behind.
BuffaloRebound Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Be prepared for these mock drafts to be nowhere near what happens in 2 weeks even more so than usual. After the first 10 picks, it kind of seems like nobody has any idea what’s gonna happen. In a normal year, teams would’ve already had their boards lined up and started leaking mis-information. Doesn’t seem to be much scuttle-butt which is most likely due to all these teams scrambling to get info on these guys and still trying to sort out their boards.
Process Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Walterfootball is the worst. That site is a joke please don't take it seriously. 1 1
OJ Dingo Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 I agree that mock drafts are pretty useless outside of the top few picks, but I always like to go to http://www.mynfldraft.com/NFL-Mock-Draft. For the most part, their projections aren't very accurate, but I love the features they have where you can look at mock drafts for all four major sports as well as the archives for past drafts. If nothing else, it's a good reference point to look back on.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 The Huddle Report is one of my favorite sites. Good mocks and player evaluations. https://thehuddlereport.com/

The difference with him and certain others is that Matt really does watch the guys who are going to be late day 3 picks as much as he watches the guys who are consensus round 1.

He has been able to show that his draft evaluations of the Bills picks have often lined up with where the Bills actually took them. 1
Logic Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Whichever one has us taking my draft crush of the moment. Just kidding. The Draft Network, Matt Miller, Dane Brugler, Ben Standig, Benjamin Albright. As someone mentioned already, going to the Mock Draft Database and just looking over the whole variety of mock drafts available. Some years, everyone mocks the same player to the Bills. This year, picks are all over the map. That's a symptom of picking so late and of having a good overall roster with very few crying needs.

Not only does Joe Marino soberly evaluate a player's strengths and weaknesses, but also explains why a player would "fit" with a particular team's scheme, roster and cap. His deep Bills knowledge is a huge added plus for Buffalo fans, which is why he's my go to analyst. 2
