Draft Competition Anyone?

So my buds and I did one of these last year, they're pretty fun. I'm surprised ESPN or another fantasy sport hasn't picked up on something like this. If you want to participate let me know. Maybe TJ can make this sticky or something if it gets big enough. So basically you try to predict the 1st round.

So here's how it work. Basically one day before the draft, you'll need to submit your mock draft, team 1-32. No trades (to hard to predict). So you'll be predicting where the players go. So you'll list your mock, and after the actual draft happens you determine how much points you get. Not sure if we can get any type of prize, award, special title anything like that on this forum.

Here's how the scoring works:
Exact Player = 10 pts
Same Position = 2 pts

Pretty simple. So for example, I'll just do a Top5 mock and show it too you. Here's an example. The name in ()s is who the team actually drafted.
1. Panthers - Blaine Gabbert - (Cam Newton)
2. Broncos - Patrick Peterson - (Patrick Peterson)
3. Bills - Marcel Dareus - (Von Miller)
4. Bengals - AJ Green - (Julio Jones)
5. Cardinals - Cam Newton (Blaine Gabbert)
So I would get 2pts for the Panthers, 10 for the Broncos, 0 for Bills, 2 for Bengals, 2 for Cardinals... total of 16 points.

Positions are according to CBSSPORTS (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospectrankings). SS/FS = S. ILB/OLB = LB. DE = DE. DT = DT. Only thing that changes for DL, is if a team drafts a DT, but he'll play 3-4 DE. Robert Quinn & Aldon Smith count for both DE/OLB.

Easy enough? Should be fun.

 

You make a good point...

 

Hey guy we could use this to make our picks: http://espn.go.com/nfl/draft2011/features/draftmachine/

It's a nifty tool.
