Take a look at how the top 150 players drafted differ from ADP and RotoRank Draft Lists. Owners make decisions based on teir team needs, some do well, others reach deep and lose value...

I am posting the first 10 rounds of a 15-team NFBC Mock Draft. I am only analyzing the team I draft at pick 13, but if you review each team, you can see how drafts take on a life of their own. No matter how good and complete your draft research, you need to be able to adapt to unexpected player selections.
I also use Mock Drafts to flush out any key discrepancies between my projections and the Average Draft Picks. Many rookie or 2nd year players will seem to have wide margins f errors, but that is due to the fact that I am more conservative with my estimates. Every rookie can’t become a superstar, but I will make some minor modifications to at least get some of these young players within 50 spots of the ADP…
If you like any specific team, feel free to post your opinion. I think there are some good teams, and there are some teams with a collection of good players. There is a difference!
