Over the course of a month following the NFL draft, every of our analysts was given the chance to draft twice from every of the draft slots in a 10-team league. We performed 34 mocks, rotating in substitutes to account for availability and to insert a little bit selection into the picks, and tracked the outcomes, which you will discover beneath. These outcomes had been additionally used to tell the rankings you will discover within the ESPN fantasy soccer draft platform.
