Mock Draft

[Arlo]

As mentioned elsewhere, we'll be running several mock drafts this offseason, the first of which will be taking place the weekend after the Super Bowl. While we obviously won't know the details of this year's NFL draft yet, the season will still be fresh in our memories. Besides, drafting is a blast, and it will help us work through football withdrawal...

We'll be using a live draft format via the chat room; if you'd like to spend the time you would normally be watching the weekend's games drafting with us, please sign up in this thread. Please state at which of the following times you would be available (the more flexible you can be, the better); keep in mind that the draft will most likely take several hours.

Saturday, February 1:
9am (all times EST)
noon
3pm

Sunday, February 2:
9am
noon
3pm

We're looking for 10-12 teams (as well as an alternate or two). Extensive fantasy experience is not a prerequisite; all we require is enthusiasm.

Players will be drafted with the following league format in mind:

Single-season (no keepers), head-to-head with playoffs in weeks 16 and 17, 14-man rosters with the following starters:

1 QB
1 RB
2 WR
1 TE
2 Flex players, who may be either RB, WR or TE
1 K
1 Team Defense

along with a 5-man bench (any positions). Scoring will be as follows:

Offense:
1 point per 40 passing yards
1 point per 15 rushing or receiving yards
1 point per 100 return yards
6 points per passing, rushing, receiving or return touchdown
2 points per passing, rushing, receiving or return 2-point conversion
-2 points per interception or fumble

Kicking:
3 points per field goal
1 point bonus for every field goal over 50 yards
1 point per extra point
-1 point for every missed field goal or extra point

Defense:
1 point per sack
1 point per blocked kick or punt
2 points per interception or fumble recovery
6 points per defensive touchdown
2 points per safety
12 points for a shutout
8 points for allowing up to 7 points
5 points for allowing up to 14 points
2 points for allowing up to 21 points
0 points for allowing up to 28 points
-3 points for allowing up to 35 points
-10 points for allowing over 35 points

Looking forward to a great draft!
