FAQs: Using the Draft Board

How do I draft players?

  • Double-click players anywhere on the draft board to draft them for the Team/Owner that is on the clock.

How do I edit a draft pick after it has been made (fix a mistake?)?

  • From the “All Draft Picks” list on the right side of the Draft Dashboard tab, double-click the draft pick that was a mistake.
  • A pop-up menu will appear.
  • Make the appropriate changes and click OK.
  • The draft board will be updated with the change.

Will the Draft Analyzer recommend draft picks for me?

  • Yes. The Draft Analyzer was a finalist for Best Innovation in 2005 for its Draft Pick Recommendation Engine. It is the most accurate and robust recommendation engine available and is completely configurable to support your draft strategies. The recommendation engine recommends the best player to draft based on:
  • 1) Your scoring rules and player rankings
  • 2) Players you have already drafted
  • 3) Players still available
  • 4) Players expected to be drafted before your next draft pick
  • 5) Roster settings for min/max roster settings
  • 6) Bye-weeks (helps avoid drafting multiple players with the same bye-week)
  • 7) Strength of Schedule (for equally valued players, recommends player with easiest opponents during your playoffs)
  • 8) Player durability (based on last 3 years of data)
  • 9) Player consistency (based on last 3 yeards of data)

How do I trade draft picks during the draft?

  • The easiest way to make a draft pick trade during an actual draft is to change the Team/Owner that is on the clock using the drop-down list of Teams/Owners available on the Draft Tracker.

Can I export the draft results?

  • Yes. Use the Export Draft Results feature from the File Menu to export all draft picks into any format, including Excel or csv.
  • The export feature includes Player ID, Player Name, Position, Team, Point Value, ADP, Owner that drafted him and other fields to enable you to analyze the results of the draft any way you would like.

Can I add players not included in the program during the draft?

  • Yes. There is a “Write-in” feature included in the Player Search bar (upper right of draft board) that makes it fast and easy to add players during the draft. The Draft Analyzer includes over 3,000 players in its database, so it is very rare that a player won’t be included.
  • Note: The players added using the Write-in feature are not saved for other drafts or leagues (they need to be added for each draft as needed).

Can I complete multiple Mock (practice) drafts using the Draft Analyzer?

  • Yes. The Draft Analyzer provides you with an unlimited number of mock drafts using the full functionality of the software.
  • The Draft Analyzer will NOT make draft picks for all the players in the league, but using the Average Draft Position results it is easy to make draft picks for your opponents and test out your different draft strategies.
