NFl Mock Draft vs Todd McShay’s Mock Draft
This is my final mock draft of the year. No explanations. If you want explanations for the first round picks, click here.
This is my scoring system against McShay. Because his mock is copyrighted by ESPN, I won’t release his non-first round picks until after the draft, when it won’t matter. The scoring system:
50 points for correct team wrong pick except in the case that a team traded down (For example, if I correctly predict that Baltimore’s 4th pick will be Austin Pettis then I get 100 points, whether Baltimore traded down or not. But if he’s their 5th pick and I though he would be their 4th, I get 50)
In the first round: 100 points per team correct.
In the second round: 100 points per pick correct, 50 points for right pick wrong team, meaning the team traded their pick, 40 points if you are only off by 1 pick (like a certain player is the 60th pick and you expected him to be the 59th, you should get credit for being off by only one), 20 points if you are off by 2-3 picks, 10 points if you are off by 4-5 picks.
In the third round and fourth round: 150 points per pick correct (more difficult to get these picks), 75 points for right pick wrong team, 60 if you are off by 1 pick, 30 if you are off 2-3, 15 if you are off 4-5, 10 if you are off 5-7,
In the fifth, sixth, and seventh rounds: 175 points per pick correct, 100 points for right pick wrong team, 80 if you are off by 1 pick, 50 if you are off 2-3, 30 if you are off 4-5, 20 if you are off 5-7, 10 if you are off by 8-10.
