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 charity donations/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 Arizona is trading the 3 to someone for Arod just put Arod 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 Anderson #6 and he is #6) 3. You earn 3 points if you are one or two selections off (EG: you select Anderson #6 and he is 4, 5, 7, or 8) 4. You earn 1 point for being three or four selections off (EG: you select Anderson #6 and he is 2, 3, 9 or 10) 5. You earn 0 points for being five or more off (EG: You select Anderson #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 Anderson #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 my entry as an example 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 recommend using a mock draft tool where you can select all participants. 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. Congrats to Wandler, the reigning champion!

I had a miserable time trying to figure out my list this year. Not 100% sure why but I haven't gotten nearly as into this draft as I have the last ones. Joined a big narrative campaign for a tabletop game I play and I imagine that's probably got something to do with it.

I'm in kind of the same boat. I think it's because the Colts draft so much higher than usual and their biggest need is so obvious, so I have less incentive to dig into the mid-to-late first-rounders.

I think I did pretty well. That Nolan Smith pick at 30 really saved me from a critical deduction, and I got the first four dead-on.

I got 37 I think, and am annoyed that I had Joey Porter jr at 16 rather than 17. Had a nice little run of being very close around 20-25, and somehow nailed the Skoronski pick despite it being terrible.

Looks like I scored 47 points. My big miss was Levis but I think everyone missed on that. -5 handicap across the board! Direct hits (5 pts) on Young, Anderson, Bijan, Broderick, and Deonte Banks (somehow). Was very close (3 pts) on Stroud, Richardson, Witherspoon, Wright, Kancey, Flowers, Addison, and Bresee. Fuzzy on Carter, PJJ, Skoronski. No outright misses in the top 16 other than Levis. So 52 points minus 5 for Levis, 47 yeah.

The Wild Man of YOLO posted:1. Bryce Young - 5 33 for me. Only direct hits were Young and Skoronski. My original version had another four direct hits (Stroud, Anderson, Richardson, Robinson) which would have netted me another 11 points but I just had to tinker with it before I submitted

So, Every year we have about the same number of entrants, ~12-16. Every year we get anywhere from 0-5 total -5 results (predicted in 1-16 and not selected round 1). Well, we shattered that trend. Will Levis was in every single participant's top 16. That means, where we generally see 0-20 points lost among every participant, the Mayoman obliterated the record himself with -80 points. Congratulations to our first member of the Draft Game Hall of Fame, Titans QB1  I am announcing the Levis award in his honor, for the participant with the most negative points at the end of the process.

I am mostly putting this here so I don't need to dig thirty pages back in the forums anymore: 2021 Win place show: 1. Magicpants 70 points // 2. Shakezula 65 points // 3. Symphonic 59 points 2022 Win place show: 1. Wandler 62 points // 2. Good Times on Meth 52 points // 3. Diva Cupcake 49 points Note: Any of these scores would have won this year. NO ONE knew wtf this year.
