So this is what I'm proposing. You pick the entire 224, final number TBD, in the order you think they will be drafted. It doesn't matter about teams per se. If for instance Houston trades out of number one and the team trading up drafts Clowney and you have him that's still counts.
So this would be the point system.
First round any correct pick you subtract 1 from your score. Any pick where you are off by however many slots you add 1 to your score.
So for example
1. Clowney and he goes 1st -1
2. Robinson and he goes 2nd -1, total -2
3 Bortles but he went 8th +5, total +3
For each round thereafter it's still +1 for every slot you're off. However exact placement gets better.
Rounds 2-3 -2
Rounds 4-5 -3
Rounds 6-7 -4
Now there's the guys you pick who don't get drafted and the ones you don't who do.
For every slot until the end of the draft there's a +1 or -1. So you pick a guy at 220 and he doesn't get drafted that's +4. A guy you didn't pick gets taken at 220 instead that's another +4. Then there's a round penalty for each.
6th +5
5th +10
4th +15
3rd +20
2nd +50
1st +100
That may seem a little crazy but remember Vontaze Burfict went undrafted and some people had him in the second round and Sebastian Vollmer was a combine snub who went in the second round. I think this is where the game will probably be won or lost. Who really knows those fringe players the best.....or has BB's cell number to know what crazy second round pick he's going to make.
I think there's a certain strategy to it. Do you try to draft every pick exactly? Do you hedge your bets? For instance Derrick Carr could go top ten and he could go in the 2nd round so do you put him say 21st splitting the difference? Do you follow the general ranking systems or do you go with what your eyes are telling you on the film. Everybody has Amaro in the first but I don't see it. Am I willing to put him 35th when he's as high as 20 in some mocks.
What do people think? Fun, stupid, too much work? Everybody will have to score themselves at the end on the honor system. It's just too much work for anybody to do otherwise.
