How Accurate was Mel Kiper's Mock Draft?

RELATED: KIPER PREDICTS BUCS TOP 3 PICKS

In the months leading up to the draft, ESPN’s Mel Kiper puts out several mock drafts predicting which players will land on which teams. Now that all is said and done, how accurate were his rankings?

At a quick glance at 2015, it appears not very. Kiper correctly predicted seven first-round picks, just 22 percent. He was able to predict the landing spots for Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, Amari Cooper, Ereck Flowers, Trae Waynes, Danny Shelton and Melvin Gordon, but missed on the rest.

Kiper was much more accurate inside the top 10, though.
