Not my first draft, and since the last turned out not that bad I guess I did something right, but:

The Manual as well as Jack6 tell me that I have to set the whole board which I want to do now. But I do not understand:

Do I set my favorites at #1, #2, #3 and so on, so my order reflects the draft how ->I<- would pick from #1 to #96?

Or do I set them at the positions where I'm about pick, which would mean that I push all the draftees that I estimate would be picked higher above that?

I thought I did describe the rules quite OK, but seems I did not.
My suggestion is, sort them without any round marker from 1 to 96 based on the player you like best to worst.
AFTER the 1st round, revisit the list and maybe sort a bit different, for example if you did pick the OL and you want now more likely a LB, maybe but the remaining OLs deeper.

The other functionalities are quite complex and error prone.

I personally do only sort the TOP 10-15 players now with bots and a good YA and then I have to see, whom I did get.
But if you are in roster building phase, all 96, or at least the better part of it, should be evaluated.

Some people put what they think is the best player on the list at no1, No 2 the 2nd best etc, etc.
Others may want to fill holes in their roster, so say they need a CB, they put the best CB on the list at No1, 2nd best at No2 and so on.
After the first round, they may want a WR so they change the order to put the best remaining WR at the top of the list, 2nd best next and so on.

Some may scout the whole draft list or just the players they are looking for. It is up to you how you decide which player to pick.

I can only suggest to keep the view on a player open, so to see into which position you can train a player, than just to see which position he is right now.
A TE might become an OL, a SF a DL and so on.
