8th Annual BearsFansOnline.com Draft Contest!

[UOK]

Submit your complete 32-pick first round of the NFL 2017 draft, and aim for perfection!

Would it invalidate my submission if I predict two different teams to select the same player? Obviously, I wouldn't be aiming for perfection because I would have made that impossible, but I would be aiming for the high score.

Hmm...I'm not sure this would be illegal, but it certainly wouldn't be sporting.

I'm going to say no.

Thanks. I asked as a hypothetical, but the answer determines 2 very different algorithms for the new version of my mock draft generating program. I'm incapable of programming a concept of 'sporting,' but I could give it rules that correspond to 'sporting' if necessary.

So you said, "No, it would not invalidate your submission." [Or did you say, "No, you can't do it?"]

For clarity - no, do not repeat players.

That's awesome, and might win. I assume you put grades and positional needs in. Any other variables? Did you weight positions?

[Middleguard]

That's awesome, and might win. I assume you put grades and positional needs in. Any other variables? Did you weight positions?

I first assembled a consensus bigboard based on rankings not grades. This year I used 13 (including your personal rankings) then eliminated the high and low scores for each player, leaving 11. Then I put together as many mocks as I had time for. This year I managed 21 (the Conley affair blew up on me).

My program first compares the mocks to the board and characterizes each pick as BPA, a position reach, or a reach for a particular player (because he wasn't the best remaining at his position). Then it tries to simulate the draft using the odds of each team picking BPA or reaching to see which remaining player receives the highest odds. It also compares each likely pick on the next team's possible picks to discover the most likely combination and uses that combination to predict the first team's pick. Then it looks at the 2nd & 3rd teams, then the 3rd & 4th, etc.

[mmmc_35]

Good job, very well thought out.

12) TRADE Bengals: Jonathan Allen
13) Cardinals: Patrick Mahomes II
14) Eagles: Haason Reddick
15) Colts: Derek Barnett
