The only subjective part in the code would be the formula to calculate the probability of each pick because you would have to decide the weight given to each data point in the overall calculation. The rest of the code would just be cycling through the rounds applying that formula.

This is also why using these mock tools are a crapshoot.
GMs make stupid decisions. GMs also don't just draft need or make ridiculous trade demands all the time. I've seen mocks where Jermaine Johnson falls to 29. I've also seen mocks where teams throw a bunch of picks to move up and take Jermaine Johnson at 8 or 9.
