About the Algorithm
Each pick is determined by a weighted desire score that combines multiple factors: the
player's consensus ranking (exponential decay curve), the team's positional need (blended
with their BPA tendency), beat writer and insider signals, regime-specific positional biases,
mock range constraints (preventing unrealistic reaches), and an urgency multiplier that
increases pressure to draft top prospects who have fallen past their consensus slot.
The result is the most realistic mock draft simulation available online.
