Mock Draft Results

Written By: David Maziasz - Apr• 23•10

The first round (and now the 2nd and 3rd, too) of the 2010 NFL Draft is in the books, it seems appropriate to compare the mock draft results of some of the internet’s most well-known figures. In other words, which mock drafts were most accurate as reliable sources of information.

Excluded from this list is the mock of Mike Mayock because I couldn’t find his final predictions (if anyone has that info, I would love to add it in).

Name# of Correct Picks
Pro Football Weekly (Nolan Nawrocki)10
**NFL Draft Blogger** (David Maziasz)8
Sports Illustrated (Peter King)8
Move The Sticks (Daniel Jeremiah)6
NFL Draft Scout (Chad Reuter)6
ESPN (Mel Kiper)6
ESPN (Todd McShay)5
Scout.com (Chris Steuber)5
Walter Football (Matt McGuire)5
NFL Draft Countdown (Scott Wright)4

For simplicity, the results are based on number of selections which correctly predicted the player, team, and position.

Also, thanks to GhostWriter for sending me the results for Kiper and McShay.

Congratulations to all the mock drafters here. But especially Mr. Nawrocki, who produced the most accurate mock draft I could find. Every year, his predictions are very well-documented, and are an outstanding read for any draft fan.

I am also very pleased with how my mock fared as well. This year’s product appears to be among the most accurate of any mock draft found on the internet. I am just super excited that all my hard work paid off :)

    Congrats, David. Couldn’t find any recent mocks by Mayock, but Kiper tallied only six correct predictions and McShay managed just five this year.
