How to Play

GetMocky is a first-round NFL mock draft game. Build your mock draft, join a group, and compete with friends to see who predicts the real draft most accurately.

1. Create your mock draft

Every user builds one full first-round NFL mock draft with all 32 picks. Your goal is to predict which players will be selected in Round 1 and place them as close as possible to their real draft slot.

You can also build in trades by assigning picks to different teams in your mock.

2. Join a group

Groups are where the competition happens. You can create a group and invite friends or join an existing group with an invite link or code.

Once you are in a group, you choose which of your drafts to enter into that group’s leaderboard.

3. Drafts lock when the NFL Draft starts

As soon as the real NFL Draft begins, all mocks are locked. No more edits, no more changes, and no late swaps.

From that point on, the game becomes live scoring.

4. Scoring updates live

As real picks are entered, your draft is scored automatically. You earn points for:

  • Correctly identifying players who go in the first round
  • Predicting their draft position as closely as possible

Every first-round player starts with a base score of 10 points. Then GetMocky adds a bonus based on:

  • How important that pick range is
  • How far away your prediction was from the actual pick

5. Pick ranges matter

Early picks carry more weight than later picks.

Pick Range
Weight
Picks 1–10
5
Picks 11–20
4
Picks 21–32
3

That means an exact prediction near the top of the draft is worth more than an exact prediction late in the first round.

6. Accuracy matters too

After confirming a player was drafted in the first round, GetMocky compares your predicted pick to the player’s actual pick.

Distance From Actual Pick
Multiplier

1 pick away
5
2 picks away
3
3 picks away

4 or more picks away
0

7. The scoring formula

Every first-round pick is scored using the same formula:

Score = 10 + (Pick Weight × Accuracy Multiplier)

If the player is not selected in the first round, the score is 0.

Note: 4+ away still gets the 10-point first-round player bonus, but no accuracy bonus.

9. What counts as 0 points?

  • A player you mocked in Round 1 who actually goes in Round 2 or later
  • A player who is 4 or more picks away and only gets the base first-round value built into the formula outcome for that range

The key thing is simple: if they are not a first-round pick, you get nothing for that slot.

10. How do you win?

The player with the highest total score wins the group leaderboard.

The best strategy is not just hitting exact picks. You also want to identify the right first-round players and keep them as close as possible to their final draft positions.
