Draft Party – The game I built because the New England Patriots suck

Since 2019 my friend (a Broncos fan) and I (a Patriots fan) have played a game on NFL draft night where we try to predict the first round of draft picks.

The original game was built with a very delicate spreadsheet with 200+ line equations involving dubious scoring math. But we enjoyed the game nonetheless and have always pondered out loud "There should be an app for this".

I decided it was time to turn off yet another "draft talk" podcast and slogged away on Draft Party, replacing those dubious spreadsheet equations with real code.

I built Drafty Party for myself and my friends but I also built it for other fans of bottom dwelling teams everywhere. When your team sucks, you need hope and the draft represents hope. And when your team's front office also sucks at drafting and stomps that hope into the ground, you can at least have some fun among friends.
