Finally, it is here. A complete mock draft from pick 1-79.

Based on the academy bidding system and taking into account what each team needs, I have finally completed the first edition of my mock draft for 2016.

The academy system and the rules of the draft are complex, so I have written down a few tips that will help you to understand this mock draft.

There is a 20 per cent discount on academy kids and father-son picks in the first round.

Any club can bid on any academy player, the club that the academy player is with then has a choice to match the bid or leave it to the club that has bid on that player. If the academy club chooses to ‘match’ the bid, then they will need to use a certain amount of ‘points’ to match the clubs bid. The club that bid then gets the next pick in the draft.

When an academy club matches an offer they are obliged to use their next pick, and if needed, their next available pick after that. For instance, they cannot use their first and third picks together to match an offer.

Clubs won’t take their own academy or father-son selections usually, because of the 20 per cent discount on points. This is unless they are low on points the club doesn’t want to be in deficit for next year’s draft.

Teams with mid-range picks will bid on academy kids to get their mid-range picks to move up the order.

After the first round, there is a 197 point subtraction on points. There is no longer a 20 per cent discount.

Once again I must note you that this is done on what each team needs, not randomly.

Enjoy!
