I'll do Dave's pick compared to who went in the next ~5-6 picks that could somewhat simulate a best available board, though obviously not perfectly. Here goes...hopefully it's not too hard to follow since I tried to use as much shorthand as possible.

2013:
Joeckel - other options Lane Johnson, Dion Jordan, Mingo, Jon Cooper, Tavon Austin. Worse monkey pick options, zero. Better monkey pick, Austin. Far better monkey picks, Johnson and Ansah. Much better odds for monkey than Dave.
Cyprien - Justin Hunter, Zach Ertz, Darius Slay, Gio Bernard, Manti T'eo. Worse pick, Hunter. Equivalent pick, T'eo. Better pick, Bernard. Far better picks, Ertz and Slay. Again much better odds for monkey than Dave.
Gratz - Larry Warford, Sio Moore, Benny Logan, Leon McFadden, Tyrann Mattieu. Worse pick, none. Far better picks, Warford and Honey Badger. Much better odds for monkey than Dave.
I'll go ahead and end it here since Dave busted every pick and the monkey likely would too. Monkey 3 - Dave 0.

2014:
Bortles - Sammy Watkins, Khalil Mack, Jake Matthews, Mike Evans, Justin Gilbert, Anthony Barr. Worse pick, Gilbert, Far better picks, LOL everyone else. Much better odds for the monkey.
Marqise - Kyle Van Noy, Lamarcus Joyner, Jordan Matthews, Weston Richburg, Cyrus Kouandijo. Worse picks, Van Noy and Kouandijo. Equivalent pick, Joyner. Better pick, Matthews. Far better pick, Richburg. First pick where the monkey has equal chances to be better and worse than Dave!
Arob - Jimmy G, Jarvis Landry, Justin Britt, CJ Fiedorowitz, Morgan Moses. Worse pick, CJ Fed. Equivalent picks, the rest (Jimmy G question mark). As much as I love Arob the rest are tier 2-3 at their roles too. Odds are monkey ties.
Linder - Don't need to mention anyone here. First time Dave decisively beats the monkey!
Aaron Colvin - Shaq Evans, Keith McGill, Ka'deem Carey, Martavis Bryant, Anthony Hitchens. Worse picks, Evans McGill and Carey. Better picks, Bryant and Hitchens. Odds are again for a tie.
Telvin - Same with Linder. Dave wins!
We'll cut it off here cause Dave and the monkey both miss from here out. Dave 2, tie 2, monkey 1.

2015:
Fowler - Amari Cooper, Brandon Scherff, Leonard Williams, Kevin White, Vic Beasley. Monkey wins huge again.
TJ Yeldon - Devin Smith, Preston Smith, Eddie Goldman, DGB, Devin Funchess. Worse picks, Devin Smith and DGB. Better pick, Funchess. Much better picks, Preston Smith and Goldman. Odds go to monkey by a bit.
AJ Cann - Clive Walford, Tyler Lockett, Jaelen Strong, Hroniss Grasu, Jamon Brown. Worse, none. Better, Walford and Lockett. Monkey wins but mostly just because Cann is a negative.
Sample - Jamison Crowder, Jeremy Langford, Justin Hardy, Jalston Fowler, Clayton Geathers. Worse picks, none. Much better picks, Crowder Fowler and Geathers. Monkey wins big.
We'll end here. Monkey 4, Dave 0.

Total. Monkey 8, Dave 2...and the biggest wins go to the monkey with Dave somehow missing on almost can't miss all pro studs with his top 5 pick in both 2014 and 2015.
