Mock drafts can be found everywhere in April. Every newspaper, blog, website, sports analyst and armchair quarterback takes on the so-called genius minds of NFL general managers. What The Huddle Report (THR) sets out to do is keep track of all those mocks and apply a scoring system to them to track who produces the most accurate mock drafts.
In 2016, the answer is FullTime Fantasy. Draft Expert Forrest N. Long finished tied for first to take home the 2016 title! This is the third time in the last nine years that an expert from FullTime Fantasy Sports (formerly FFToolbox.com) won the contest. That’s tied for the most of any publication/site/analyst.
Long correctly picked 25 of the 31 players in the first round which earned him 25 points. He also correctly mocked 12 players to their correct team. This wasn’t some flash in the pan either. Long now ranks second with his five-year average score (43.20). Let’s take a closer look at his final mock. Congrats Forrest!!
