The head-to-head record
Model Zero vs the competition.
Our deliberately simple baseline finished 68–42 against the site-level draft boards in our archive — ESPN, CBS Sports, Yahoo, NFL.com, WalterFootball, the room's real-draft ADP, and the full FantasyPros consensus — across 15 seasons.
This is the broad view: one opponent per source in each season. Individual panelists get their own page.

Experimental all-time leaderboard
Everybody, stacked up.
Lower is better. Board size is normalized, multiple boards are averaged within a season, and every season counts equally. No small-sample adjustment is applied.
Normalized miss is each board's weighted average rank error as a percentage of that board's full matched-player rank range. Only sources with at least two scored seasons appear; two-season entries are labeled as small samples.
Sources
Check every board.
Every matchup links back to its source: the FantasyPros rankings feed for the consensus and WalterFootball boards, and FantasyFootballCalculator's public archive for the real-draft ADP. Sites whose historical boards we have not yet recovered in a verifiably pre-kickoff form are absent, not exempt — the archive grows.
