I was curious if people that post multiple mock drafts ever go back to grade themselves.

Since @timb2 appears to have posted the most mocks, this was his April 29th mock:

 
I'll do my own I guess, from March 12

1-10: Rashawn Slater (1-13)
2-44: Jevon Holland (2-36)
3-75: Alim McNeill (3-72)
3-99: Pete Werner (2-60)
4-115: Tommy Tremble (3-83)
4-139: Trill Willliams (UDFA, Saints)
5-179: Charles Snowden (UDFA, Bears)
6-192: Larry Borom (5-151)
6-227: Shi Smith (6-204)
7-238: Isaiah Kaufusi (UDFA, Colts)

Parsons
Joseph
McNeil
Cox

Would have loved that draft.
 
So here is my one and only for 5 rounds from April 6.

1-28. Greg Newsome II CB, Northwestern > 1-26 - Cleveland
2-44. Aliim McNeill DT, North Carolina State > 3-72 - Detroit
2-60. Jamin Davis LB, Kentucky > 1-19 - Washington
3-75. Walker Little OT, Stanford > 2-45 - Jacksonville
3-90. Quinn Meinerz OG > 3-98 - Denver
3-99. Tyler Shelvin DT > 4-122 - Cincinnati
4-115. Andre Cisco S > 3-65 - Jacksonville
4-138. Anthony Schwartz WR > 3-91 - Cleveland
5-179. Derrick Barnes LB > 4-113 - Detroit

The trades netted me:
2022 2nd round pick from New England
2022 2nd round pick from Minnesota
2022 2nd round pick from New Orleans
2022 6th round pick from New Orleans

Obviously the Cowboys traded down but not to 28.

Looking back at this mock draft, I have no idea what to think about it. I like my players! And I really like the 4 draft picks I got for my trades.

That's decent; although I would have placed a heavy wager that Jamin Davis was far more likely to go in the 1st than to be available at 60.
 
The simulators are fun for time wasting stuff but no where near realistic.
As for the people it just takes time. Guys that do it year in and year out eventually build up enough evidence to either be taken seriously or totally ignored.

No one is overly accurate here but there are definitely people who make sensible football points with researched knowledge.
They will disagree with experts but can explain why.
