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.
