How Accurate are These NFL Mock Drafts?

Just want to add that the recruiting websites and star ratings for high schoolers make the NFL Draft GURUs look like Nostradamus with their projections of which players will succeed.
 
Teams and scouts don't want to show their cards, leaving room for "experts" to speculate.

Mock drafts are meaningless, but fun, for some.

Helps to pay the bills for the pundits.

Every team is looking for "value" picks. I think Iowa has provided a lot of those recently, which makes it interesting for me.

I would like the Rams to select Hooker and Nelson.

Much, much larger pool of players playing against various levels of competition. Football doesn’t have AAU like basketball, where the top players face off.
 
Part of the reason they are so inaccurate is they can’t really project trades. Last year there were 9 trades in the first round.

I have been following a lot of Mock drafts lately and they all need to change because now Seattle has KC’s pick at 29 after the trade the 2 teams just made.

Most every draft I see has Hock taken no later than 12 and Fant no later than 29th pick in the first round.
 
Curious how accurate they are simply predicting 1st rounders. Not necessarily the teams they will play for, but how often do their 1st round picks fall to later rounds?
