How a mock is scored. Every pick is worth up to 120 points, and a mock's score is the share of the points it was playing for, so a 32-pick first round and a full seven rounds compare directly.
- 64 pts
- the player went at exactly that pick
- 32 pts
- he went within three picks of it
- 32 pts
- right player to the right team, wherever he actually landed
- 16 pts
- right position to the team that was on the clock
- 8 pts
- right order inside a position: the fourth quarterback is the fourth quarterback
Trades are not penalised. A pick is graded against whoever ended up making it, which is why "right position to the team on the clock" is a separate line from "right player to the right team." A mock only counts if its own page shows it was published before the first pick; anything filed after that is a recap. Positions come from the official draft listing, so every mock is graded on the same labels.
