A simulated National Football League selection event pertaining specifically to the 2014 player pool is a predictive exercise. These simulations attempt to forecast which collegiate athletes professional teams will choose and in what order, based on available information regarding team needs, player evaluations, and draft tendencies.
The value of these projections lies in their ability to generate discussion and analysis within the football community. They provide fans with a framework for understanding team strategies and player potential. Retrospective analysis of the accuracy, or lack thereof, of these simulations offers insights into the evolving landscape of player evaluation techniques and organizational decision-making processes, particularly regarding personnel acquisition.
