Reader Mock Drafts

I run my mock drafts like I am the GM of each team. In the NBA you need 2 superstars but 3 is better. Shooting is a primo quality that I look for along with versatility. I am willing to trade pickes for sure fire stars. At the same time other GMs trade away low picks for veterans when they have a playoff team. I think this is a bad idea as you ALWAYS want to be developing young talent. An organization that can take picks in the 20s to 2nd round and get maximum contributions from them are the cream of the crop.

The NBA is all about star power. You need two to win a Championship but 3 is better. Versatility is the name of the game for today's NBA along with shooting.

I run my mock drafts like I am the General Manager of each team. In the NBA you need at least 2 superstars to make a title run, 3 is better. I prefer to build from the draft as trading away assets doesn't always work unless it's a sure fire stud. Shooting and versatility are the keys in today's NBA.

I feel like I was pretty harsh in the first round, but that's because you kind of have to be with determining value and need there more than anywhere else. Of course, the 2nd and 3rd round are just as important with finding players who who will make up the meat of your roster. So without further adieu, here we go!

With Round 1 in the books--and coming off a top-4 finish in the Mock Draft Contest--here's my best guess at Rounds 2 and 3. There's no way I'll be as accurate with these picks, but what the heck, let's give it a shot!

Grading my first round: 10 exactly correct calls plus 6 more that were very close to correct. 25 players selected in first round

My 3rd annual mock draft. This year potential trades won't be factored in due to the near impossibility of accurate projection.

In my 2020 NFL Mock Draft, I'm changing up my methodology. I will be incorporating where a player will be selected, my personal opinions and preferences on each selection. Along with my personal takes, I will be using Drafttek, Walter Football, Fanspeak, Pro Football Focus, NFL Draft Geek, Draft Blaster, and the Draft Network as references for team needs and team rumors on certain picks. To put it simply: 1st Round Methodology: Player selected no matter the team, experts picks, my personal pick, and team needs. 2nd Round Methodology: Player selected no matter the team, team needs, and my personal pick.
