PLEASE PM ENTRIES TO @LAOJoe WITH THE CHALLENGE IN THE TITLE OR POST THEM HERE IF YOU DON'T CARE FOR SECRECY. YOU HAVE UNTIL ONE HOUR BEFORE THE DRAFT TO SUBMIT YOUR PICKS. We use the results of the Collaborative Mock Draft as the starting point. The entire mock is here: 2024 Collaborative Mock Draft We each choose players we think would be taken earlier, later or around the same spot in the real draft compared to our "official" mock. You get points depending on what happens. We each pick 2 players per round who we think will get drafted higher and 2 we think would get drafted lower. We also choose 1 guy per round we think is closest to their exact spot. We also predict 2 UDFAs who were picked that would actually get drafted and 2 guys entirely not selected. EXAMPLE of Picks at the bottom. The nature of the scoring could see the winner emerge with a negative score. The extreme values are almost impossible to get but they can make or break you. A full round means the same spot or greater in the next/previous round and NOT necessarily 32 picks. Risers/Fallers 200+ = 60 points Faller/70 Riser 175-199 = 50 points Faller/60 Riser 150-174 = 45 points Faller/50 Riser 125-149 = 35 points Faller/45 Riser 100-125 = 30 points Faller/40 Riser 64-99 = 20 points Faller/30 Riser 32-63 = 15 points Faller/20 Riser 16-31 = 10 points Faller/15 Riser 2-15 = points equal to spot difference divided by 2 1 = 1 point 0=0 points If your faller pick is actually a riser you: lose 5 points +0.5 points for every spot. Maximum of -25 points. If your riser pick is actually a faller you: lose 5 points +0.5 points for every spot. If he goes undrafted you lose an extra 10. Maximum of -35 points; -40 if undrafted. Extra Rule: Mispicking an undrafted player from this mock to be drafted will give you -15. Extra Rule: Correctly picking an undrafted player from this mock to be drafted gives you 10 points plus 10 points for every 32 picks away from an imaginary extra pick after Mr. Irrelevant. Extra Rule: Any undrafted player IRL will be designated the pick after Mr. Irrelevant for calculating how many points positive or negative are to be calculated. Closest to actual pick margin of error: 0= 60 points (30 points in Round 1) +/-1= 35 Points (25 points in Round 1, 40 points in Rounds 4+) +/-2= 20 points (30 points Rounds 4+) +/-3= 15 points (25 points Rounds 4+) +/-4= 10 points (15 points Rounds 4+) +/-5= 7 points (10 points Rounds 4+) +/-6= 5 points (9 points Rounds 4+) +/-7= 3 points (8 points Rounds 4+) +/-8= 2 points (7 points Rounds 4+) +/-9= 1 points (6 points Rounds 4+) +/-10= 0 points (5 points Rounds 4+) +/-11= -1 points (4 points Rounds 4+) +/-12= -2 points (3 points Rounds 4+) +/-13= -3 points (2 points Rounds 4+) +/-14= -4 points (1 points Rounds 4+) +/-15= -5 points (0 points Rounds 4+) +/-16-31= -10 points (-5 points Rounds 4+) +/-32-63= -15 points +/-64-99= -25 points +/-100+= -35 points If your player goes undrafted you lose an extra 10 points. ALSO in the 7th round you can only lose a maximum of 10 points if your guy is actually drafted AFTER his prediction. You can still lose more if he gets drafted earlier. EXTRA: A correctly undrafted guy gives you 20 points. If you guess wrong you lose 10 points. EXTRA: YOU CANNOT PICK THE FIRST 7 PLAYERS DRAFTED FOR THE EXACT SPOT!!

What is "completely ignored" again? Is it a player that was neither taken in the mock nor as an UDFA, but nonetheless gets drafted this weekend? Sorry. I'm a little dense.

this really isn't fair. All anyone needs to do is put Ike's picks on their lower list and then go from there. j/k brother Jets fan.

I'll give everyone until a bit before the draft starts. I'd rather people get them in than give up because of the deadline.
