I know that teams do reach occasionally in the draft which allows some good players to fall, but these simulators have it happen way more frequent than it should.
Personally, I've found these draft simulators even less realistic than just going down a big board and picking players listed around the pick the Bengals have.
Yep. The other is that they follow their own ratings, which you can see. When you see Witherspoon rated at #115, I know I can get him Rd 3. Whereas if I'm picking blind, I take him Rd1.
Did one each of the 3 big ones, they were all unrealistically good.
Pro Football Network: no trades
Rd 1: Mayer, TE, Notre Dame
Rd 2: Van Ness, DE/DL, Iowa
Rd 3: Witherspoon, CB, Illinois
