Idea for a Mock Draft contest
I have noticed in the past that any Mock Drafts that were held members of this site have always kind of fizzled out before their completion,which gave me this idea - What if we held a Mock Draft that had monetary incentive to pick well?
I figure that we could hold an ordinary Mock in which participants are assigned teams and after the real draft we score how we did. The scoring could go like this: Correct Player at the right Spot = 5 points Correct Player at a different Spot in the draft = 4 points Correct Position at right Spot (but different player) = 3 points Correct Position taken at different Spot (example - you have a team taking a certain RB in the 1st round but they do not, instead they address that position later with a different player) = 1 point People can tally up their own points and we will double check the winner's scores. Everyone throws in $10 per team and we'll award prizes like: 1st place = $180 2nd place = $90 3rd place = $50 The person who studies his teams needs best will have a definite advantage to take home the dough! This will give us a Mock Draft that is well researched and also will guarantee a high level of participation (with money on the line people will be more apt to see it through). I am not very computer literate so we would need someone to take control and put this idea into action. We would also need a honest moderator to pull team names out of a hat and to make calls on any scoring confusion (such as a player that played one position in college but projects to another in the NFL). Team selection would have to be random due to the fact that some teams don't have as many draft picks as others (I won't mention any names). We would also have to decide how far into the draft we would want to take this and also pound out some other rules/details. I have never heard of a Mock Draft contest before so maybe it is something that could catch on. Or this maybe a really stupid idea.....that is why I want your feedback. It seems that diehard football fans are getting more and more creative in their attempts to occupy themselves during the offseason. So anyone who might be interested in something like this be sure to chime in and give your feedback.
