MotleySports Mock Draft vs. ESPN
Two men
are synonymous with NFL draft talk - Mel Kiper Jr and Todd McShay. The
two "experts" are constantly bickering back and forth with one another
over a wide range of draft topics.
We went back and reviewed our picks (see previous post) and we actually did better to some extent.
Here is how the two most recognizable did:
For comparisons sake, here is our stats
So while we missed one first rounder, we put the right player in right spot 5 times and predicted right team 10 times. Several trades ruined the exact order (Eagles/Fletcher Cox, Browns/T-Rich)
Some of our missed first round picks actually came true in round two. For example, the Packers took DT Jerel Wrothy is the second round, we projected the first round for them.
Also not listed, we projected a lot of same positions. For example we thought 49ers would take a WR. We projected Kendall Wright to fall to 30. SF took AJ Jenkins with their pick. Same position.
We look forward to taking another crack at this in 2013.
