It is as far as The Huddle Report’ concerned. If you have a mock draft affliction like myself you’re probably aware of The Huddle Report. THR posts hundreds of different mocks from their Twitter from different podcasts, Sports Illustrated, NFL.com, and other analysts. The top guys each year tend to stay at the top and it’s a good place to find follows for mocks. But the belle of the ball this year is Josh Norris of Underdog Fantasy who had a record 59 points in the first round.
The points system is as follows: 1 point for correctly choosing the round a player goes in and 2 points if you predict which team they go to. Josh paired 16 players to the correct team and mocked 27 out of the 32 players to go in the first round. Giving him the best first round Huddle mock ever. Elijah Moore, Owusu-Koramoah, Asante Samuel, Creed Humphrey, and Christian Barmore were the only players Norris incorrectly predicted into go first round. He had pretty impressive pairing projections -Trey Lance to SF despite the smoke, Waddle to the Dolphins at 6, Sewell falling to the Lions, and Eric Stokes to the Packers. Like wtf how did you know that last one?
Here’s his mock:
This guy has to be popping champagne. When you drop your nuts on the table with that kind of mock you have to be fielding calls from the big leagues. How could ESPN or NFL Network say they have legitimate draft analysts when they get smoked by a former 2014 Rams scouting intern who now runs a fantasy podcast. For comparison, Daniel Jerimiah of NFL Network in 2020 had a total of 89 points through all 7 rounds combined. This dude got 59 points in the first round alone. Josh Norris just won the mock draft equivalent of American Idol in Chris Moneymaker like fashion.
Josh is good and all but I’m still king of the draft. Last year I had Jalen Hurts to the Eagles at +10000 and the Rams drafting a WR with their first pick at +6000 this year. So cute job Joshie but try and keep up.
