In Mel Kiper’s latest mock draft, he puts on his general manager hat for a three-round mock draft, and explains the difference compared to other mock drafts that he does:
I’m not projecting picks based on what I’m hearing around the league. No, this is me making three full rounds of picks based on what’s best for each team at that slot, so that each team gets an “A” grade. And it’s not easy to get an “A.” At each slot, I make a pick in the best interest of only the team with the pick.
