    NFL Draft contest??
    I'll try and convince the big guy to let us have one if there is some interest.

    make a mock first round, whoever gets the most correct wins 1st prize and so on.

              5-7 right could win. def will be hard, but you'll have up until draft time to post and try to project some of your deals.

                    I'm in. A problem I foresee is tiebreakers.

                    There will be so many people just copying mock drafts and likely will have many of the same projections. How would that be decided, perhaps post count?

                        Sounds fun.

                        The scoring system could allow for being within 1 or 2 of the actual prediction and a sliding scoring system according to that. For example, 10 points for exact spot of player taken, 5 points for being +-1 spot of player taken, 1 point for being +-2 spots. Otherwise it seems like it could get too random.

                          hopefully people that participate do their own thing, but a tiebreaker would be simple. There are many options for that, we'd certainly have something if we can get this going.

                            Not a bad idea. Then you'd be going more with ranking the prospects by talent level more so than team needs.

                              Also draft-day trades are fairly rampant in recent years. It's tough to go team by team when the team could easily trade out of and/or into the spot.

                                I'm all over this. Count me in even if it's just a free contest with no prize.

                                  normally no more than a couple teams end up moving spots on draft day. 80-90% of the board will remain as is.

                                          I think we should also do a second round mock and use it as a possible tiebreaker. Or if not what other tiebreakers could we have?

                                              I don't follow this stuff very closely, but my insider account and I will give it a shot. Sounds like fun.

                                                    Good tiebreaker

                                                    Number of trades in the first round

                                                    Pick a number without going over.

                                                      Sounds fun.

                                                      The scoring system could allow for being within 1 or 2 of the actual prediction and a sliding scoring system according to that. For example, 10 points for exact spot of player taken, 5 points for being +-1 spot of player taken, 1 point for being +-2 spots. Otherwise it seems like it could get too random.

                                                      Great suggestion
