Metric Mock Draft

The Metric Mock is based on a formula I have created that predicts the outcome of a draft. When compared to previous drafts, this formula works almost perfectly. It mixes the caliber of the players on the board when a team is picking and the team need. The players are graded on a 1-10 scale using film and notes from the 'experts' by Kyle, Addy, and myself. The team needs are ranked on a 1-10 scale. These two numbers are added to give a RAW SCORE for that player for that team.

(TEAM NEED+SCOUT GRADE)*HANDICAP=DRAFT SCORE

In order to correct for more/less important positions, we have created a handicap that gives quarterbacks a higher priority than tight ends, centers, and guards. To use the handicap system, we multiplied the RAW SCORE by the handicap numbers shown below:

QB, LT: 1

DT, DE, RB: .975

WR, RT, CB, LB, CB, S: .95

OG, C : .9

TE: .875
