The reps matter. Every mock draft you run teaches you something about board flow, positional scarcity, and how to adjust when your targets get snatched before your turn. You learn which tiers actually matter and which ones are noise. You test different strategies, early QB, zero-RB, stacking, without the stakes of your real money on the line.
Treat mocks like film study. Go in with a plan, execute it, then evaluate what worked and what didn't. The teams that win championships in December are the ones who put in the work in August.
