Fantasy Sports: Flyers Board Mock Draft 2021

[Ghosts Beer]

Just bumping that I had Brandt Clarke as the best player in this draft and picked him first overall.

(Also had Wyatt Johnston at 81 overall.)

My guess is that if you picked first in the Patrick draft, you would have taken Patrick.

If Clarke has his career derailed by migraines, will you believe your selection here is a draft blunder?

I would have taken Hischier.

It's always tough to look back at your misses. At the time, I was leaning Hischier but did not expect such a large gap between Patrick and Hischier.

I'm already seeing a covid trend, that will be interesting to follow for the next 20 years. I don't have all the numbers to back it up yet but it's clear we were totally lost for the 2021 (and probably 2022) drafts, especially compared with 2017, 2018, and 2019. I have nothing to base this on, but given that we follow NHL trends, I suspect this will be the case in the NHL as well.

I created the "denominator index" at the beginning of the 2017 draft to score how close our picks were to reality. It's not a great score but if we use that to see how accurate we are to reality, you can see that covid really messed us up:

2017: 4.1
2018: 4.5
2019: 4.2
2020: 4.6
2021: 3.6

You don't need to know the details of the formula but a higher score means the mock pick was closer to the real pick. That's a big dropoff in 2021!
