"ODESSA" means Old Dude's experimental scoring system analysis. 😎
Here is the system (posted nearly a year ago) without the commentary:
1. Exact Player Accuracy (a/k/a "Bullseye scoring")
Mock drafters earn 1000 points for each “bullseye” pick. But then the total bonus is modified by applying the percentage of such picks to the total picks made by the mock drafter (rounding total down). The mock drafter must make at least 4 picks to qualify for this bonus.
2. "Round Value" of players drafted.
Mock drafters earn points for the round in which their pick was selected in the real draft.
Player taken in Round 1 = 100 points
Player taken in Round 2 = 75 points
Player taken in Round 3 = 50 points
Player taken in Round 4 = 30 points
Player taken in Round 5 = 20 points
Player taken in Round 6 = 15 points
Player taken in Round 7 = 10 points
3. Relative Value Bonuses and Penalties.
Any pick made by a Mock Drafter in Rounds 1-3 that goes in the real draft more than 10 spots ahead or behind of where the Drafter selected the player is worth a bonus or penalty of exactly 25 points. If the player goes more than 30 spots ahead or behind, the bonus or penalty increases to exactly 50 points.
Any pick made by a Mock Drafter in Rounds 4-7 that goes in the real draft more than 20 spots ahead or behind is worth a bonus or penalty of exactly 10 points. If they go more than 40 spots ahead or behind, the bonus or penalty increases to exactly 20 points.
4. Positional Accuracy.
The scoring categories are:
Defensive front 7
Defensive Backfield
Quarterback
Offensive Line (including Long Snappers)
Offensive “skill” (including RBs, WRs, TEs, FBs and KRs)
Kickers or Punters.
Each time you match a position taken by the real team, it’s worth 5 bonus points. Multiple matches don’t accumulate. If one or more of your draft picks goes UDFA, you do not get to count those particular picks as qualifying for the positional bonus. Nor do UDFA picks count for this purpose.
5. Handicaps.
Your mock team's handicap is determined at the time that the draft order is frozen – not by what it looks like after the mock draft swings into action with trades and whatnot. To keep things simple, it looks only at your first two picks.
First pick in top 10 = 0 bonus
First pick at 11-32 = 3 points
First pick in Round 2 = 25 points
First pick in Round 3 = 75 points
First pick in Round 4 or thereafter = 150 points
Second pick in Round 1 = 0 bonus
Second pick in Round 2 = 3 points
Second pick in Round 3 = 25 points
Second Pick in Round 4 or thereafter = 75 points
6. UDFA Scoring
Your UDFA is actually drafted, and by your team! You earn the Round Value for the round in which he’s taken (see section 2, above), plus 15 points. (note: this does not count in terms of either of the accuracy equations detailed above)
Your UDFA is actually drafted, but by someone else: Round Value of the round in which he’s taken.
Your UDFA goes undrafted but signed by your team! 6 points
Your UDFA goes undrafted but is signed by some other team: 2 points.
Your UDFA is undrafted and unsigned but is invited to anyone’s pro camp or try-out camp: 1 point.
