The Mocks are Here!

The mocks are here!  The mocks are here!

As we mentioned last week, we teamed up with MyFantasyLeague.com to bring you live mock drafts.  Well, we've flipped the switch and are ready to start mocking it up. 

Draft whenever you want, wherever you want and it doesn't cost a penny.  We'll try to set up some predetermined Mock Draft nights in the future.   But we'll be on drafting at random times and I promise not to take Rob Gronkowski every time.

In the meantime click here and dive in.  Warning:  It's addicting.

One particularly cool feature is you can click on "Draft Report" at the bottom of the page and it pulls up a number of post-draft tools.  One feature I like is "Draft Recap (BETA)", where they grade your draft.  Here is what it had to say about a recent draft of mine:

  • Alex CFFinsider's Coach had a poor draft in the recent 2009 Mock 22 draft. Their Alex CFFinsider franchise came away feeling dejected about their bottom grade in the league based on analysis by MyFantasyLeague.com. 
  • Alex CFFinsider has the honor of making the best pick of the entire draft, selecting Robert Griffin in round 3 with the 30th pick of the draft, 11 spots after the 19th spot he should have been selected in, according to ADP rankings. "He brings a lot to the table," Alex CFFinsider coach said.
  • Alex CFFinsider has the dubious distinction of making the worst pick of the entire draft, selecting C.J. Spiller in round 6 with the 51st pick of the draft, long before the 86th spot he should have been selected in, according to ADP rankings. "He's a project," Alex CFFinsider coach said.
  • Starting in week 6, Alex CFFinsider won't be able to submit a full lineup, due to having 1 defensive team on bye.
  • After such a pathetic draft grade, Alex CFFinsider is motivated to prove to the league that their picks will overachieve and bring home the trophy.

Also, we participated in an all-120 league mock draft put on by Athlon.  You can see the results and analysis here.   And yes, I know my running backs suck.
