The UI Score

A smarter way to rank prospects

Most rankings are just opinions. The UI Score is different — it's a 0–100 number built from real college production data, athletic testing results, conference strength, and historical comps to players who actually made it in the NFL. No gut feel, no hype.

Blue Chip (90+) · Elite (80–89) · Premium (70–79) · Above Average (60–69)

Mock Draft Simulator

The most realistic draft sim out there

Other simulators let the CPU pick randomly. Ours uses real ADP data, team needs by depth chart, and GM tendency profiles so every simulated pick reflects what teams are actually thinking. Run 1 round or all 7.
