What is the purpose of a mock draft?
In essence, a mock draft gives fans an idea of where every player is most likely to end up in the coming NFL draft. Analysts such as Mel Kiper Jr., Todd McShay, Tony Pauline, and Mike Mayock have made a name for themselves in their field. Our Mock Draft Simulator aims to take into account analyses from across the board to give users an idea of any potential surprise picks in the draft, while also affording fans the chance to take on GM duties until draft season.
Are mock drafts helpful?
All things considered, mock drafts are a pretty useful tool in draft season. The more you use an NFL draft simulator, the more you understand the ins and outs of how an NFL Draft shakes out. What makes Sportskeeda's Mock Draft Simulator stand out, though, is the all-important use of trades in between multiple rounds.
How to use the 2024 NFL Mock Draft Simulator?
Sportskeeda's NFL Mock Draft Simulator is the go-to tool for NFL draft projections. The simulator is fairly simple to use. Just follow the steps listed below and begin your journey of going from full-time fan to part-time NFL GM:
- The first step to using our NFL Mock Draft Simulator is to pick a team to represent in the draft. You can either pick your favorite team and make your picks or pick multiple teams and participate in trades as the draft goes on.
- Once you select the desired team(s) for the mock draft simulation, you have the option to pick how many rounds you want to participate in. Now this could either be the first round or you could go ahead and make picks in a full seven-round mock draft.
- Once you've landed on the number of rounds to simulate, the next step is to select the speed of the draft simulation.
- There are three options for simulation speed - Slow, Normal, and Fast. The Slow simulation provides the most accurate projections with picks while the Fast simulation can be used for a quick glance at how the projections might shake out for your team.
- Once you have picked the required speed, all you need to do is click on 'Draft Now' and let the simulator work its magic!
- When your turn for the pick rolls around, you will see a list of the available players on the right, presented in order of how high our scouting team ranks the prospects. You can then factor in their ranking, along with team needs, and make the pick of your choice. That round of the draft will then move along until it's time for you to pick again, in case you are drafting multiple rounds.
- Once all the picks are made in the draft, your selections will be listed at the end. You can then download an image of your picks and share it with your friends, content in the knowledge that your favorite franchise is in safe hands.
NFL Mock Draft Simulator with Trades
The secret sauce in Sportskeeda's NFL Mock Draft Simulator is that it comes with trades. No GM experience is complete without trades, of course.
Just like in an actual draft, you can now choose to table or accept trades during any round. If you decide against tabling a trade to move up or down the order, the simulator will throw some offers your way. If you find the offer acceptable, you can click “Accept” and if not, you can outright hit “Reject” to call off the deal.
To get really stuck into the experience of using an NFL Mock Draft Simulator with trades, be sure to run the gamut with a full seven-round draft this season.
2024 NFL Mock Draft: Picking all 7 rounds
If you're a draft savant and want the option to really dig deep into how your team can reload for the season, you can pick the seven-round simulation in our tool. This will also allow you to experience the full array of emotions that come with accepting and rejecting trades and watching other teams move up the order to swoop in on any player you might have an eye on.
How to use the simulator for a 7-round mock draft:
All you need to do to run a seven-round NFL Mock Draft on our Simulator is select the number of rounds on the right before you embark on the simulation. Simply pick '7' and the speed of the draft (slow, normal, fast).
Once you've done this, hit "Enter Draft," accept or reject any trade offers that come your way, pitch any trade offers of your own, and you'll be on your way to picking in a seven-round NFL mock draft.
Happy simulating, GM!
