Draft research guides

A mock draft is useful when you can explain the choices you made. These guides connect the simulator's decisions to the information on your screen, so you can test a strategy and understand its tradeoffs.

Draft strategy and worked examples

Compare the strongest player available with an immediate roster need. Work through a trade-down scenario and learn how to review the alternatives you passed over.

Understanding order, fit scores, and grades

See the model's five weights, a numerical scoring example, how repeated positions affect a class, and why the projected order can change without a trade.

Start with a question

Try a team-needs draft, then repeat it with a value-first approach. Keep the team, year, and number of rounds the same. Record where the strategies disagree; those picks will teach you more than two similar letter grades.

Choose a team and start a mock draft, or research the current prospect board first. The about and methods page explains the difference between projections, source reports, and verified results.
