I'm just going to recycle the OP from last year and you can't stop me: 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 (If times are tough I don't mind venmo). 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 Atlanta is trading the 4 to someone for Fields just put Fields 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 Pitts #6 and he is #6) 3. You earn 3 points if you are one or two selections off (EG: you select Pitts #6 and he is 4, 5, 7, or 8) 4. You earn 1 point for being three or four selections off (EG: you select Pitts #6 and he is 2, 3, 9 or 10) 5. You earn 0 points for being five or more off (EG: You select Pitts #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 Chiefs are just a punter away at #31 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 Pitts #6 and he joins an aesthetic cult the night before the draft)  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 7:00 Eastern draft day you will be DQed. If you want to post about 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 posting 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. (If this wins the winnings will go to the charity decided on by the participants) 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 Draft network and pretended it was the actual results:  My draft is on the left and the mock is on the right. As you can see, the difference maker was that Wyatt Davis is not a first round talent and whoever picked him lost this exercise for the entire forum. 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.

This is going to be my lowest graded draft by far. I expected to be the lowest graded draft on average too. Putting in the goon draft isn't that much more work I'll definitely do it. Look for scores sometime on Sunday. May get to it sooner but that's the absolute latest.

The three people not on this list beat him. Eifert Posting fucked around with this message at 00:27 on May 4, 2022 |

The face I made about 10:00 this morning when I suddenly remembered I hadn't done this yet was probably pretty funny looking. $15 on behalf of Diva Cupcake to Planned Parenthood $25 on behalf of GToM to a local charity that I will not name so y'all don't find out where he lives. $50 on behalf of wandler to Planned Parenthood And the honorable mention "influencer" prize of $25 on behalf of Daltos to the National Network of Abortion Funds.
