To diehard fantasy footballers, mock drafts are an essential key to success. They do not always shake out like your actual draft, but participating in mock drafts will allow you to see trends, and help you be better prepared for your actual drafts. It is highly informative, over a couple of different mock drafts, to see where guys are being drafted, and in what rounds you can grab that player you have highlighted on your draft lists. Mock drafting creates a distinct advantage over your opponents by giving you a better idea where to snag those sleepers, and how far to let some guys fall before taking them.
