Scoring

Quick scoring table

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

How scoring works

Every pick in your mock draft is scored using the same basic formula:

That score only applies if the player is actually selected in the first round. If a player from your mock goes in Round 2 or later, that pick scores 0.

Step 1: First-round player bonus

If the player you mocked is selected anywhere in the first round, that pick starts with a base score of 10 points.

Step 2: Pick weight

Early picks are more valuable because they are more important and usually more scrutinized, so each draft range has its own weight.

Step 3: Accuracy multiplier

After confirming the player went in Round 1, GetMocky compares your predicted pick to the player’s actual pick and applies an accuracy multiplier.

Examples

Key rules

• Only first-round NFL Draft results are scored.
• Each mock draft contains the full first round, picks 1 through 32.
• Drafts lock when the real NFL Draft starts.
• Scores update live as actual picks are entered.
• The goal is to reward both correct first-round player identification and precise draft order prediction.

Why this system works

This scoring model keeps things easy to understand while still rewarding serious draft skill. You get credit for correctly identifying first-round players, but the biggest scores go to users who can also place those players close to their actual draft position.

Early picks carry more weight because they matter more and are usually the hardest to nail exactly. Later picks still count, but the system stays balanced across the full first round.
