I find a lot of Mock simulators to be ridiculous at times, they have guys falling that I don't see happening like Calvin Austin as I
have here. But I can be ridiculous too lol
That is what is nice about doing Mocks. Things change so quickly, like today I just learned about Booth's injury history so after I
posted this I would take Kaiir Elam or Kyler Gordon instead. I just like Booth better as a player. You never know about Harris, some
say he had good players around him that made him look good. I just disagree, think he would be a fine LB for us and fits what we
run Defensively.
Must add, I have done Mock simulators quite a few times but honestly when I just do my own research they have been closer to
what has happened in the past. For instance last year I had us taking Chase, Carman and McPherson.
I had us taking Bates when we drafted him. Logan Wilson, ADG in past Mocks... I can be a little accurate at times.
I can see your ideology behind simulators and yes some of them just are not realistic. However, they are probably as realistic as just going through and picking players. I would suggest trying the Mock Draft Database. I have not found it to be overly ridiculous and it seems to change in small increments depending on information that is becoming public at any given time.
I just did a new simulation off of it and it can actually be frustrating in that you would like to add someone at a certain position but the way things have fallen the value is just not always there or the fact that you can have two different players that you value similarly and must make a choice.
