The thing that these mock drafts can never emulate is the fact that they have no idea what a team is trying to accomplish during the draft and how they truly feel about their current roster. Look at the Bengals for instance:
1. The media and the fans hate the O-line. It's obvious that they are very comfortable with what they have.
2. The LB group needed an upgrade, but it's obvious the front office saw the value in rounds 3-4
3. The Bengals obviously drafted for their scheme as well.
We see it every year with teams with obvious needs and holes ignoring them in the draft. Some teams draft BPA and others strictly on need.
