What Gregg Rosenthal said

So this is a big test for us. So we don't care about the consensus board anymore. We're the stinking consensus board.

How the mock scored

32 checkable claims — 32 mock draft picks — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.

It names 64 players and teams, each linked to their own record.

31 of 32 have settled so far, averaging 69.9 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls.

Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room.

Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.

Mock against the draft

Across: where the mock put each player. Down: where the player went. The shaded band is where a pick earns credit, within 32 picks. Squares landed, half-squares were close and slashes missed.

The skill comes from how well the whole mock ordered the draft, so it is not any one pick’s score minus 50.
