Draft simulator?

[Reverend Conehead]

Some years back, there was a draft simulation page where you could go in, pick your team, and simulate the draft while you chose which players to draft, based on who was available for the Cowboys (or whichever team you picked) in each round. Anyone know if that's still around? This year I want to try drafting for the team and compare it to what the team actually does.

***MOD EDIT***

These two are free and allow trades for free. The second even has a free player evaluation option.

This other one is free but you have to pay to get stuff like trades.

If I am understanding the question correctly there are a bunch of them.

Is there a particular one that you think is good?

That one is tied with this one for best overall to me -

NFLDraftBuzz has a good simulator too, but I was doing a draft once and clicked on the player description, and the description started with something like “Sure! I’ll draft a summary of (I forgot which player it was) strengths and weaknesses, and athletic profile. Tell me anything you’d like to change!”

They literally forgot to delete the evidence they’re using AI to write player descriptions.

There was one I used to use that Allowed you to not only draft but allowed you to sign free agents. It allowed you to bid on free agents and re-sign your own.

It’s on the same website as the draft simulator.

I think the one i Used to use was called First Pick but thank You. I will check it out.

Thanks.

The simulators are a good way to learn the players and approximate draft position. I like to see how our evaluations here compare to the experts or consensus, etcetera. It's like taboo to go back and see who was more accurate after the fact. I don't get why. Any good scout does that to tighten up their own evals.

I've always said, it's not about the round, it's about your evaluation.

That’s disappointing, but with regard to their actual simulator, I’d say it’s one of the best in that it’s one of the very few free simulators I’ve found that allows you to trade players as well as picks.
Sticktothemodel would be the only other free one I’m aware of that allows that, but I don’t like the intrusive ad video windows that appear right where I want to put my thumb…

I wish it this easy to trade back in real life.

Okay, I gave it a shot. Now, before anyone hollers at me, I'll disclose that I'm not even in the neighborhood of being some kind of expert. Due to my work schedule, I haven't watched college football in years. I just read summaries of who's supposed to be good prospects and then I winged it. I didn't do any trades. But I took a shot at it. I'm going to save this image so that I can look back in the years to come and see who has a good career and who busts. I'm sure the team will draft better than I did. (They will, right?) Anyway, here's my humble attempt.
