Draft Day
Practice a mock draft, then run the live assistant during your real one. Both use the same projections and value engine as the 2026 draft board.
The draft board is under Rankings: open the 2026 draft board. Free for 2026: the Standard, Half PPR and PPR boards are saved the day they’re served, and graded in public in January.
Mock Draft
Full mock with CPU opponents and an instant draft grade
Practice a full snake draft against CPU opponents who pick from the same VBD engine. Pick at your own pace or crank CPUs to fast, then get a position-by-position grade when you finish.
- Urgency-coded recommendations update after every pick
- Steal / fair / reach verdict on each of your picks
- Draft grade: strengths, weaknesses, and waiver-wire targets
Live Draft Assistant
Keep this tab open during your real draft
Log each pick as it happens on your real platform. We'll keep best-available, recommendations, roster needs, and a look-ahead panel up to date — and your session survives a refresh or closed laptop.
- One-click pick logging from a searchable board
- Auto-detects whose turn it is from snake order
- Look-ahead: who’ll likely still be there at your next pick
How it fits together
Both tools share the board's backend: a VBD engine sitting on top of our walk-forward ML projections. The projections are generated per-position using XGBoost models that only see prior seasons — so what you see on the board is honest out-of-sample projection, not a backtest trained on data it already knew about.
Start with the board — the 2026 draft board is under Rankings, a tab beside this week’s rankings. VBD normalizes across positions, so you can compare an RB's scarcity-adjusted value to a WR's without mental gymnastics.
Run a Mock to practice your strategy. The CPUs pick from the same VBD engine, so you'll experience realistic runs on positions and realistic tier cliffs. Finish the mock and we'll grade your roster position-by-position and surface the best players left undrafted.
On draft day, open the Live Assistant and log each pick as it happens in your real draft. We'll track best-available, update your recommendations, and run look-ahead on who's likely to still be there at your next pick — so you can judge whether to reach now or wait.
