2023 Off-Season Mock Drafts: How to Use Mock Drafts

Welcome back to another installment of my 2023 off-season mock draft series. I've looked at NFL mocks and discussed how potential landing spots could impact player value in dynasty, rookie mock drafts, and start-up mock drafts too. However, this time around, I'm not doing another mock. No mock in a mock draft article; how will that work?

Well, my plan here is to help you understand how to use mock drafts to your advantage. Getting information from various mocks does you no good if you can't put the information to practical use. So I'm going to cover the best ways to use mock drafts to help you win on draft day and hopefully at the end of the season too.
