I suggest we have a mock draft contest on this website, and we can compare it directly to Kiper and some of the other big names and see how we do with a true statistical comparison.
We should just do the first two rounds only. Everyone who wants to participate would need to list (not explain the picks, just list) the players in the order they will be picked and by what team from 1-64.
After the first day of the draft, we could total up the scores and see how everyone did, including all the top paid professionals.
The scoring would be as follows.....
You want the least number of points like in golf.
Matching a pick and the correct team counts as 0.
(Example: 2) Miami - RB Ronnie Brown, turns out to be totally correct, this would be 0 points)
Matching the pick but a different team (from a trade) counts as 1.
(Example: 2) Miami - RB Ronnie Brown, but Arizona trades up and drafts Ronnie Brown at slot 2. This would count 1 point).
Matching a player and team, but in a different slot is 1 point per slot you were off.
(Example: 2) Miami - RB Ronnie Brown, but Miami trades down to slot 5 and drafts Brown then. This would count 3 points.)
Anytime a player is drafted by a team other then the one you projected, you take a 1 point auto hit, and then total up (1 point per slot) how many slots off you were from where you projected the player and where he was actually picked.
(Example: 2) Miami - Ronnie Brown, but Brown gets drafted at pick 12 by San Diego. It would be 1 point for being a different team and then 10 points for being 10 slots off, for a total of 11 points.
If you have a player listed that does not get drafted the entire first day, then you suffer 1 point from the slot you predicted to the first slot in the 4th round. This is bad, you don't want to whiff completely.
Using this grading scale and only doing the first two rounds means we can have a winner after the first day is done. You would not do a 3rd round because it would be the buffer round for players not selected in the 2nd. Plus, you couldnt total up your score accurately after the first day if you did the 3rd round as you dont know if players not drafted were 1 slot into the 4th or out of the 4th all together.
The lowest score would win. There is no prize, just for fun and to compare how you did against other Broncomania members as well as professionals like Kiper and other predicters.
I'll make a thread a few days before the draft, hopefully we can get it stickied and we can all compete and see who does the best. Hopefully a few of us can clobber Kiper while we are at it.
