Another problem with this is that I am currently drafting at 8th. Being lazy, I therefore only order my first 8 draft picks for each round. My 9th choice could easily be at number 92 on my draft board until the second round and if he's drafted in the meantime it would give a false read. (If I understand what you want correctly)

Hmmm. Didnt think of that, but it would still be 1 in 32 having that player at 96. And everything is still relative.

Or I could be less lazy

Then that would be 2 of 32 already since his 9th choice could be a QB and I stacked all the QB's between 88 and 96 because I really dont need one this year

But you would keep him at the bottom, making that a valid indicator of his average draft position. This doesntaccount for noobs, who dont know what they are doing, or for the guys who forget to set up thedraft board or ten other things i cant bothered mentioning here. But if you as i are in a league with 70% of the managers drafting quite simular, i think this could be nice. (20 of my top 32 gone after 1st round).

I am used to the 2.x drafts haha. There you get your 3th overall at 31

I can imagine that in 1.1 it will be a lot harder (or impossible) to land the top 5 talents that late

Well I like the idea. It obviously doesn't add much to the game and likely wont mean much... but I think it'll be a fun community feature. Helps get people talking in their forums a bit. Also gives people a benchmark with their drafting.

If you where going to make a fun tool
I would have a pre Draft board
That ranks the top 3 to 5 player of each postion base on what scouts say( base on rough(+or- 1 ranks) draft ranking)

By doing on postion it removes the low ranking of low needed postions

The thing is...the information you would need is not there anymore. At the draft the manager in charge enters the draftroom, makes his pick, and at that moment all other orders regarding this player are removed.

This means to add such a feature it is not just "a lot of work", it is much more "rewriting the draft"
