I know you can choose the rounds you prefer to draft players in which helps in the sorting process, but overall I find the draft list a little hard to deal with. I have a couple ideas to help make things a little easier to manage. Its possible that they have been mentioned in other threads already but I couldn't find them.

Why not add check boxes for each position as a DO NOT DRAFT option? For example, if you don't want to draft a kicker or punter at all just check the boxes to disable them from being drafted for you and remove them from the draft board entirely.

I also noticed that after I selected a preferred round for some players and then clicked an option to sort the list again, my round preferences were gone. It would be nice if that didn't happen so I could sort the list in different ways without losing the players I prefer to draft in certain rounds.

Overall I think just adding a few more filters for searching the draft board would be really handy. Plus showing player info by hovering over their name would be nice instead of having to click on the player details and then go back to the list repeatedly.

Can't wait to see how my first draft goes! Just a few more days to wait!

There were some suggestions on draft:
Those I found to be still open:
Three Day Draft
change draft pick engine and the draft board sorting
draft pick scouting
1 week grace period after draft....
Draft
Having a Draft more unbalanced
Draft, like today, but resort possibility

Some had good dicussions, some where more or less ignored.

Keep in mind, that changing the draft system has to be done by seasons.
As far as I know, nothing is planned to be changed for season 3 draft, so possible changes only in season 4+.

Just a note: the draft is working as it is.

Is it important to make it more usable? Yes, no doubt.

Is this an urgent matter? No, I don't believe so.

Will changes be done? Yes, probably.

Will this changes become active soon? Probably not.

could be 22, 23, 24...not earlier, due collisions with a delayed season rollover, and not later
