Draft Date Preference
Posted: Fri Apr 16, 2021 2:53 am
We used to do polls to try to find consensus on the most popular draft date starts, but they usually always turned out the same way. With a new group of people and other factors noted, we'll do another poll to see if some dates pop out as the best for the most people.
It's unfortunate for some, but there's no way we can always find perfect days that work perfectly for 192 different teams across 6 leagues. But we do try to find days that work for the most people as we can.
Our college drafts go for four days. Day 1 is the first round, day 2 is rounds 2-3, day 3 is rounds 4-5, and day 4 finishes up rounds 6-7. Then we start undrafted free agency the following day.
For those new to our drafts, also note that you don't have to be on the draft all day or all four days. All of your team picks have set pick windows that you'll be on the clock. If you want to pick in person, you just have to show up at that scheduled time you'll know about way ahead of time. The draft page should be accessible via mobile devices. Or you can just make sure your draft queue of player rankings is up to date so you get someone you ranked highly that was still available if you can't be there in person for the pick. And if you aren't here in person and don't have any ranked players left, you'll automatically get the highest available player from the NFL draft order.
All the draft dates options are half on the weekend and half on weekdays. There is a big group who prefer weekends and a big group that prefer week days, so we have it half and half. In these options, it's just when the first half of the higher rounds start.
Vote for the dates that work best for you, and hopefully we'll find some times that accommodate the most people and have a great draft.
