This is fantastic. They computer simulate the NFL Draft based on what they believe the teams needs are (by a priority) number and the computer drafts accordingly. I thought that this was completely unique and something to definitely keep an eye on, for who the Broncos drafted - you'll just have to look and see!

They put together some rather weird drafts though. If you decide to cherry-pick for your team, you'll be very happy with what's available in the later rounds.

I guess I'm doing okay with my Mock Draft as the Chefs.
They have them taking Meachem at 23 (a guy that I wanted very badly but he went a couple picks earlier to the Giants.) I ended up taking Darelle Revis, who they have as even value at #18.
In the 2nd round they have the Chefs taking Tank Tyler with a -1 value. For the KC Queefs I selected Tank Tyler with my 2nd round pick.
In the 3rd they have the Chokes taking Doug Free, OT with a value of -3. With that pick, #84, I selected OT Doug Free for the Chefs.
No picks in the 4th round, but I got a steal with my next pick...
My next pick was Courtney Taylor, I selected him at #150. In the computer mock he was selected at #103 with a value of +6.
My selections in the 6th round were #180 and #181. I selected WR Lauren Robinson, and OG Kasey Studdard. The computer has Robinson at 207 w/a value of +33 (so I selected him about 3 picks too early). Kasey Studdard was not selected as was valued at 252.

Yeah I found this site a little while ago, it's a very smart idea. The only problem is that a team's needs may be a certain position, but not every player at that position is a fit. Troy Smith and JaMarcus Russell are both QBs but are very different. Some teams may want big DTs while others want faster ones, 3-4 players and 4-3 players, etc.
It is a very interesting site though and if nothing else has thorough player rankings.

David Ball in the 6th? I'll take the guy who broke Jerry Rice's records. ^_^

That guy has the softest hands I have seen since Largent.

We had the guy who broke Randy Moss' records and that didn't end well
