Detroit Lions fans love mock drafts. It turns out, they’re pretty good at creating them, too.
Pro Football Focus tracked the average overall grades attained by each fanbase that used the PFF mock draft simulator. The highest grade went to the fans who simulated as the Detroit Lions.
Lions fans fared third-best in trade scenarios, earning special mention for the quantity of mocks where Detroit trades back to the No. 5 pick and still lands Ohio State CB Jeff Okudah. That was also the most common Lions pick in their simulation run-throughs. Chase Young going third was second, with a lot of instances where Washington traded back to make that happen for Detroit.
