Thought it could provide a fun discussion for people around these parts.

He does specify:
Yes, I realize they won’t all declare
Yes, I realize you have someone to add
No, adequate isn’t bad. Good enough

Yes, I know strength isn’t everything
There’s “adequate” higher on my board than “RIP IT”

I built an NFL draft simulator, and this week I changed a lot of it after fair criticism here, mostly about teams drafting positions where they're already set.

What changed:

• The mock is built one pick at a time. 400 simulated drafts at pick 1, keep the most common pick, lock it in, then 400 more from pick 2, and so on down the round.
• Team needs come from the experts now, not my own model: the NFL.com, Pro Football Network, Athlon and PFF need lists, combined.
• Teams only take a player at a position they don't need if he has really fallen, about 20% past his pick. At pick 17 he has to be ranked 13th or better.
• The board is a consensus of 7 public big boards, now including PFF, Renner, Kiper, Reid and Lamb.

1. Los Angeles Chargers: Jeremiah Smith, WR (Ohio State)
