Participating in the FanSided community 2016 NFL mock draft was an excellent exercise in just how the draft could play out. The picks were rotated among FanSided experts from the respective team sites until all 31 first round picks were selected.
In this format, even subconscious bias in the mock draft process was removed by a step, allowing the draft’s first round to play out with teams making the best pick for them based on availability decided by people who regularly write for other teams.
Unfortunately, for the Jacksonville Jaguars, it didn’t play out well.
