Draft Suggestion

Is there a way you can add it to where I can put multiple players of the same position in my draft list, but once one is picked by my team, the rest are removed? So if I have 3 draft picks on a day when I won't be around, I won't get 3 QBs or whatever... I'll get the best QB on my list, then the rest are removed, and other positions on my list will get picked.

The best way I could come up with without making it too complicated was to do it with the auto queue preferences, if you set the QB count to 1 then when you draft one the effective weight is cut in half for the rest of the draft. I haven't come up with a good way to have a position clear your manual list because it's of course possible that you may want to draft two of the same position. How would it make sense to you to do this?

I was thinking of your draft utility in FOF, to be honest. Where you have a box you can check. I really don't know how it works. But, if there is a way similar to that, I will look at it. I never even looked at auto... I'll check that out. I'm guessing that will work fine for what I was thinking about.

As always, thanks for all the work, JDB. Sorry if I'm adding too much to it :)

Just a thought here, what if you could tell it what positions you wanted drafted with each pick, so the first pick you want a QB, the second pick another QB, say the 3rd pick you want to draft a LG, so forth and so on. Let each round default to picking the best available, just in case you don't have a specific position to fill in mind.

Also, in player search, is it possible to add to the team list "Draft Eligible"? Or, make it possible to search the players still left in the draft by specific attribute, like Intelligence, rather than by just position?

Thanks!

It's actually listed as "Draft Class" - right below "Retired" in the team list.

Yes, but I see ALL the players in the draft, including those already drafted. I'm looking for a way to see only players still eligible to be drafted.
