What is a mock draft simulator?

A mock draft simulator lets you take control of a team (or multiple teams) for a fake NFL draft. You make the picks for the teams you control and it simulates the picks the other teams make, giving you a look at how the real draft could play out.

The more advanced simulators even allow for trades initiated by you or by computer controlled teams, making for a more realistic experience.

What’s the best free NFL mock draft simulator?

When it comes to free tools, NFL Mock Draft Database is the clear winner as they’re the only free option that has support for trades. If you want to save your draft results permanently, you’ll need to create a free account, but you don’t have to sign-up if you’re just looking to play around with it.

What’s the best paid option?

When it comes to premium mock draft simulators, your best bet is The Draft Network. While they do have free tools, their $9.99/month plan (or $29.99 for the year) gives you access to advanced features like tradeable picks and expert draft portfolios. Try the free version out first, but if you’re a serious fan, then the small price may be easily worth it.

Happy drafting!

Below you’ll find a list I put together over the years pf the best experts in fantasy sports and DFS.

-Bobby B.

Jordan Cooper

Jordan is a former poker pro and stand-up comedian that has been playing DFS full-time for more than 4 years. He focuses on soccer, but has done well in football, basketball, and baseball. He isn’t on this list just because he is a pro, but because of how much he shares on Twitter and YouTube.

Pat Mayo

Pat isn’t a professional player, but has been in the fantasy sports world for more than a decade, starting as a host and producer of weekly radio programs like Pat Mayo Hour, Fantasy War Room, Sunday Scene, and Roto RX. Today, he hosts the Pat Mayo Experience (one of the best DFS podcasts) which is a fun and informative show that you don’t want to miss.

The Steinbergs

Max and Danny Steinberg are identical twins and have both been making a living as professional gamblers since turning 18. These guys each have millions in profits from DFS and are constantly at the top of the leaderboards. Not only that, but they make the best DFS videos I’ve seen on what it takes to win and they’re all free at SaberSim.

Rich Hribar

Rich has been in the fantasy space for years and you can find him on dozens of podcasts and blogs, but most recently with Sharp Football Analysis. He made the list because in a world that relies too much on hunches and guesses, he uses advanced analytics and deep data analysis to find edges and shares those in a weekly article called The Worksheet.

Adam Levitan and Evan Silva

Adam Levitan is a former co-host of The Daily Fantasy Edge podcast (which has been downloaded more than 5 million times) and has won multiple awards for his writing. Evan Silva was Rotoworld’s senior football editor for 12 years and is one of the leading analysts in fantasy football. Both put their money where their mouth is and play high-stakes fantasy and DFS contests. They’ve joined forces with Andrew Wiggins and Taylor Caby to launch Establish the Run which has by far the best fantasy football content on the market.
