What do you need in a fantasy football mock draft simulator?
A fantasy football mock draft simulator should be accurate, fast and simulates the other managers in the mock. It has a random variation calculation to get small changes from draft to draft. Includes a wide variety of options to cover many league draft types and scoring options. After the draft you get a grade of your picks.
Why do I need to use a fantasy football mock draft simulator?
1. Practice Is Important
When preparing for your draft it is vital to practice drafting. Mock drafts are a great way to do this. You will see variations where players go higher or lower than you anticipate - which helps you get a feel for where you want to plan to take your targeted players. Mock drafts also help you prepare for these variations. Drafts are never going to go exactly the way you plan them. So, you need to have backup plans to be prepared when certain positions are over drafted. Mock drafts can help you test these plants.
2. Test Your Draft Strategy
As you develop your draft strategy and start applying it with the draft simulator, you will start seeing issues with your strategy. Make sure and do enough simulations so you can recognize things that you want to change in your strategy. So, it's a good idea to come up with two or three different draft strategies so you can be better prepared for your real drafts.
3. Do Mock Drafts at Various Draft Positions
Developing your draft skills at various draft positions is important. It also gives you a perspective of your opponents as you focus on what players are available in each round in other draft positions. Many league commissioners don't set the draft order until just before the draft. So, it's important for you to be prepared for these issues.
4. Test Your Mock Draft Skills
After doing many simulations, you'll be ready to draft. However, another excellent practice is to do some best ball drafts that have a very low cost, like five dollars to $10. These are real drafts where people are spending money. The draft is not going to be exactly like your league draft because it is a best ball format, however, it's the frosting on the cake that will get you better prepared for your drafts.
Fantasy Football Mock Draft Simulator Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mock draft in fantasy football?
Mock drafts are practice fantasy sports drafts. Before a league's draft takes place, mock drafts are a way to practice before someone's pride and/or money are on the line. Participating in a mock draft alerts fantasy players to real players that are going higher or lower than one expected.
Are mock drafts a useful part of fantasy football draft preparation?
Mock drafts are a fun way to practice in advance of a fantasy draft. They can be helpful for gauging where players will be taken and for testing different strategies. You can also gain a better understanding of current Average Draft Position (ADP) to leverage value during your actual drafts.
How do you do live fantasy football mock drafts?
Much like a regular draft, you need enough participants to fill the mock draft (the number needed obviously matches the number of teams). You need to find one -- or set one up -- that matches the parameters and scoring system of the league you'll be playing in. As FantasyPros notes, live mocks are great but it’s often frustrating trying to get into the mock draft you want, and even more frustrating waiting for everyone to make their picks (a live mock can take over an hour to complete).
What is a fantasy football mock draft simulator?
A fantasy football mock draft simulator is a more efficient way to practice for your draft. It’s similar to doing a live mock draft except that you’re drafting against simulated opponents (which make their picks based on FootballDiehards.com ADP and expert rankings).

How long does a fantasy football mock draft take?
Assuming a 12 team league standard 16 player rosters, experienced drafters who have custom cheat sheets ready and have run a few free mock drafts would take about an hour to an hour and a half. If they're less experienced, but still engaged, maybe two to three hours. However, using our FootballDiehards.com mock draft simulator, you can finish a draft in a matter of minutes. The only limiting factor would be the speed at which you yourself make selections.
