How'd We Do Last Year?

Looking back at the 2025 cycle, I'm pretty shocked with how accurate my mid-season mock was. Although it didn't line up perfectly, most of the top 10 picks were incredibly close to where they ended up going. Also, 20 of the 32 players picked ended up going in the first round in May despite building the mock in November. I give myself a B+.
