How the Simulator Works

The full methodology: every weight, multiplier and constraint the engine applies.

What this site is

NFL Mock Draft Simulator is an independent NFL Draft research project. It has two halves that feed each other: a set of reference pages documenting what actually happened in the draft, and a simulation engine built on the same underlying data.

The reference side is straightforward: complete results, a consensus prospect board, position rankings and a page for each of the 32 teams. All of it is compiled in-house and every statistic quoted in our analysis is computed from the pick data published here, so it can be checked rather than taken on faith.

The simulator is the part most people arrive for. Rather than walking down a ranked list, it scores every available player from the perspective of the team on the clock, weighting consensus board value against that team's specific needs, its front office's documented tendencies, positional market pressure and the input that most separates it from other tools: reporting from the beat writers who cover that team daily.

How the simulator works, briefly

Every pick is decided by a "desire score" computed per team. A base value derived from the consensus board is adjusted by five further components: a team-need multiplier, a beat writer and insider signal bonus, a regime bias reflecting how that particular front office drafts, a positional market adjustment, and a mock-range constraint that stops any team reaching implausibly far. Calibrated random noise is then applied so no two simulations are identical, scaling up through the later rounds where real drafts are genuinely less predictable.

Trades are priced on the Jimmy Johnson value chart, with future picks discounted for the year of delay. AI teams accept an offer at roughly 85% of outgoing value, which reflects how front offices behave when they have a specific player targeted.

The complete methodology, including every weight and an honest account of where the model is weak, is documented on how the simulator works.

The 2027 NFL Draft

The 2027 NFL Draft has not been held yet, and this site is careful about the difference between what is known and what is projected. What exists today is the board: 524 ranked prospects, position rankings derived from it, and a projected order.

The order is the part to treat with suspicion. It is set by the 2026 regular season and is not actually known until January, so what is published now comes from projected win totals. Compensatory picks do not exist until the league meetings in late March and will shift every round boundary from the third round on. Team needs were researched from current rosters and will be revised after free agency. The 2027 draft page states which of those apply, and the simulator does not score a mock against a draft that has not happened.

Everything is in place to draft against today: the full board, the projected order, all 32 front offices and a working trade market. Start at the 2027 big board or go straight to the simulator.

Past drafts

Completed classes stay published as a reference archive. The 2026 NFL Draft results cover all 257 picks and 42 trades from Pittsburgh, measured against the consensus board assembled before the draft, with the analysis breaking down the steals, the reaches and the full trade ledger.
