The draft is a BIG DEAL, and Mocks are fun. I will be organizing a game to generate discussion and make it a bit more interesting. You will select your anticipated draft order and post it in thread, and after the draft I will be scoring the results and awarding winnings in SA certs (or charities of choice that won’t get me watchlisted). I’ve budgeted ~$50 that I will split to the top 3 or so contestants. I will participate, but obviously I will not be eligible as a winner. Scoring 1.  Teams do not matter!!! If you think a trade is likely then keep that in mind and make selections accordingly. If you think Washington is trading the 2 to someone for Tua just put Tua as your selection. I don’t even want team names in your submission.2. You earn 5 points for a perfect match (EG: you select Okudah #6 and he is #6) 3. You earn 3 points if you are one or two selections off (EG: you select Okudah #6 and he is 4, 5, 7, or 8) 4. You earn 1 point for being three or four selections off (EG: you select Okudah #6 and he is 2, 3, 9 or 10) 5. You earn 0 points for being five or more off (EG: You select Okudah #6 and he is 1, 11-32) 6. You lose 0 points for a player you picked not being drafted in the 1st round if they are picks #17-32 (EG: you think The Ravens are just a punter away at #28 and are wrong) 7. You lose 5 points for a player not being drafted in the 1st round if they are picks #1-16 (EG: you select Okudah #6 and he decides to publicly give up football an hour before the draft and does not get selected)  With this system you can cap out at a score of 160 and bottom out at -80. It should naturally result in a bell curve. Ties will be settled by order of submission (with edit time being factored in) This is to accommodate for the advantage present in waiting to finalize a mock. The penalty for missing on a top #16 selection is to increase disparity in point scores. Rules: 1. If you edit your post with your submission at any time after 4/22/20 you will be DQed. If you want to post your results after the draft make a new post. 2. Feel free to comment in the thread as much as you want, but please keep your submission post clean. Ask questions in the thread if you don’t get something; comment on your entries in a separate post. 3. Please make an effort after the draft to tabulate your own score. If there are more than a dozen or so submissions I will only be checking scores I know to be competitive. If I fail to tabulate your score and you don’t tell me it’s got a chance of winning that’s on you! I plan on ruling out any score being a winner but if there are a lot of submissions I may miss you.4. It’s OK to revise your picks. I would prefer you edit out your original submission and post a new one so I know you changed it. I will be keeping up with new posts but if this is an active thread I may miss edits. 5. It’s OK to tell someone they accidentally drafted a dude twice or that the person they picked is not draft eligible or something. Please don’t be a dick about it. 6. Lurkers are welcome!!!! Don’t feel like you need some sort of cred to post your submission. No one will care if you are not a regular. The more the merrier. Format: Please include at least your candidate's name. Feel free to add position or school or whatever, but try to keep your submission clean. If you want to comment on your selections please make it as a second post. I will be copying and pasting your list into a master spreadsheet so just being able to copy and paste will be helpful. I’ll be linking an excel form so you can plug in your own choices and then copy/paste your results. I’ve included two samples, my entry and the results of the official SA Mock. ”The SA Mock” posted:Something awful mock (If this wins the winnings will go to the charity decided on by the participants) ”Me” posted:Eifert Posting tools  This link will take you to a google sheet you can use to make submissions and score them. There are a ton of big boards you can use out there, I think the best way to make your selections is with The Draft Network . I have other tools I like, but the advantage of that one is that you can draft for every team. For simplicity this will be Round 1 only. Examples: For these two examples I took the most recent mock from CBS and pretended it was the actual results: Mock Draft:  Eifert Posting: As you can see The Mock thread edged me out. An interesting tidbit is that if the Mock had selected Delpit with pick 16 instead of 17 they would have lost 5 points and we would have tied. I will post my entry below so there's an example for formatting. Please feel free to provide additional tools and feedback, if you are better with google sheets feel free to make something more sophisticated than what I can do.

I'm sure they all just coincidentally had the same typo as me for Justin "Herrbert"  Eifert Posting Commentary: 1 Joe Burrow QB Obvious pick is obvious 2 Chase Young E I don't think DC will get Miami to bite 3 Tua Tagovailoa QB This is Miami trading to Detroit with the #5, #26. Maybe more I don't have the draft chart memorized 4 Tristan Wirfs OT IMO the best tackle in class from what I read 5 Jeffrey Okudah CB Lions 6 Justin "Herrbert" Herbert QB Chargers have shown a lot of interest. Not a rivals pun or a master plot I just am poo poo at spelling 7 Isaiah Simmons LB BPA and need 8 Mekhi Becton OT This may be a misconception, but I feel like Arizona likes athletes. Also gets me a point if the Giants really do like him 9 Derrick Brown DL Jags are not in a great spot here. I just feel Brown won't fall farther than this 10 Jedrick Wills OT Cleveland is also linked to Thomas but I think they take Wills if he falls 11 Andrew Thomas T Jets may not take him if he falls, but I smell a trade up if he leaves the top 10 12 CeeDee Lamb WR IMO the leader of the WR class. Raiders likely want a more rounded receiver than Ruggs 13 Henry Ruggs III WR I feel the 9ers would favor Ruggs as he can get defenders away from the LOS. Kyle likes the run. 14 Jerry Jeudy WR Pick makes sense for Tampa, but this run could also prompt a trade. 15 C.J. Henderson CB Denver needs a corner 16 Jordan Love QB More about position on the board than specifically Atlanta. I think his floor is ~18 and his ceiling is 7-9. 17 K'lavon Chaisson E the Cowboys badly need pass rush 18 Josh Jones T Fins are giddy if he falls IMO. 19 Kristian Fulton CB Raiders need a corner 20 Jeff Gladney CB Jacksonville also needs a corner, and someone may trade to make sure they get one of the top talents. 21 Patrick Queen LB Need for Eagles. I prefer him to Murray 22 Yetur Gross-Matos E My 3rd favorite edge player 23 Denzel Mims WR For some reason I just think Mims is the WR Bill would want in this class. I honestly don't know why 24 Kenneth Murray LB Saints have a need at LB. 25 Javon Kinlaw DL Vikings would rather have a corner, but this is a better value and a player who fell 26 Zack Baun E This is to the Lions. I think their defense could use an edge setter and Patricia's high opinion of himself makes me think he'd go for the more unusual prospect 27 Austin Jackson OT Seattle is giddy if he falls imo 28 Justin Jefferson WR Justin seems like a good fit for Lamar. The LSU games I saw he seemed somewhat improvisational 29 A.J. Epenesa E Good value. More about player than team 30 Neville Gallimore DL Need 31 Xavier McKinney S I could easily see McKinney falling out of the first, but here I'm banking on a team falling in love and trading up. 32 Trevon Diggs CB KC needs a corner. Diggs is the only one left that could have a day one grade Eifert Posting fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Apr 1, 2020 |

You're right. My bad. I'm sorry. Now I'm the one who hosed up the thread. I wasn't going to queue a ban for a dumb list, I don't even probate people for poo poo usually. I just wanted a semi-funny way to stop the people PMing me every time a TFF Forum game goes up that "XXX from the discord is going to do YYY so they can all circlejerk each other about it." If ya'll want to talk about it PM me. Keep everything after this post actual lists or discussion of lists.

The purpose of this is to have fun and generate some conversation about the draft. Part of SA is and always has been shitposting. This is something I'm running at my job in addition to here so if y'all aren't interested no big deal. The last thing I wanted is for anyone else to lose money IRL for this and I don't have any ill will to any of you. I'll be disappointed if there's no interest, but I've budgeted the winnings and will be committing to them whether there's 2 entries or 200.

I wish I had TDN premium, then I could have made proper trades too. I did move Miami to 3. Detroit took 5 and 18. I made one other trade too, it was hard to work out what the needs were for each team. Obviously I'm convinced that Herbert will go higher than he should and Gettlemen will make a daft pick at 4. I like Beckton but he is not the best OT.

Sure I'll put something in. Didn't really think that hard about it, mainly just pit in names as I thought of them but it still should have a chance. Although, there will have to be a lot of trades to even have a chance that this makes sense:
