For the last four years, I have run the 2 Early Mock Drafts with industry analysts. They were a way of getting the initial thoughts on where they would take players for the next season. This year I decided to compare those results versus the first ADP from Draft Champions drafts on NFBC. A few things to consider:

After years of jealousy sitting at home, I finally was able to attend First Pitch Arizona earlier this month.
