How accurate were Mel Kiper Jr. & Mike Mayock in their 2013 mock drafts?

By now you know which player the Giants are going to draft this year.

You've read all the mocks, watched all the highlights, and analyzed all the scouting reports.

You're wrong. Don't worry, so am I. And so is everyone. At least, most of us are.

For this reason, Giants.com went back and looked at last year's mock drafts to see how they lined up with the real deal. The point is not to call out anyone, but rather to show the unpredictability of it all from the outside. With their cloaks and daggers, only those behind closed doors of the 32 front offices really know what's going on.

Here we look at how two of the biggest names in the business, ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and NFL Network's Mike Mayock, thought the 2013 NFL Draft would play out:
