Perhaps the greatest resource sports bettors use to bet the NFL Draft are mock drafts.
During draft season, it seems like every sports website on the internet puts out their own version of a mock draft, but to truly quantify the magnitude of the exercise, NFL Mock Draft Database has collected over a thousand mocks this year alone, and the number is growing daily. Not every author carries the same respect, clout, connections or accuracy as others though. Although it can be confusing and overwhelming to identify the "best from the rest," we at the Betting Predators have done the work for you.
We've both researched and identified the best mock draft experts over the last several years and combined each of their mock drafts into one easy-to-read, sortable spreadsheet. This "Consensus NFL Mock Draft" spreadsheet will allow you to see what the experts think of each player and each team, without the distraction of other 'inferior' (less accurate) mock drafters. When we reference average draft position (ADP) at the Betting Predators, we don't just calculate the entire collection of mock drafts on the internet, we simply highlight the ADP of the experts - and the results of each mock draft expert we take into the highest consideration here as well, as you'll note by the work we publish over the next month.
To differentiate between our experts below, ESPN Draft Analysts Mel Kiper and Todd McShay's mock drafts are in red, and the reason we have included the ESPN mock drafts in our data is to simply highlight the most influential mock drafts on the internet. Even though their accuracy has been below average, to say the least, identifying discrepancies between the EXPERT ADP and the ESPN ADP will present betting opportunities for us and a good start to find value in the marketplace as finalize our NFL Draft cards.
To get a better mobile view/reading experience, please click here to open the full spreadsheet in either Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel. Any questions or thoughts? As always, hit us up on Twitter any time @BetPredators. We'll be using this data below to publish our next Betting Predators Mock Draft 2.0 soon.
