The Draft Assistant follows your league’s rookie or startup draft on Sleeper. It opens on the newest season’s draft (one in progress first) and refreshes every 10 seconds while the draft is live and the tab is open.
- Best available: the class not yet taken, by league-adjusted value (League Values) when it loads, else market value, split into tiers where the values drop off. "3 left" in a tier tells you how long you can wait.
- Picks until your turn counts the picks before your next one, following the snake (or linear, or third-round reversal) order and every traded pick.
- Need: positions where your starting lineup has fewer startable players than slots, the same measure as the Trade Block. Filter the board to them with "My needs".
- The NFL draft column shows where each rookie went in April and how often players drafted in that range since 2000 had a top season in their first three (from the Profile lab).
- Replay: for a finished draft, move the slider (or jump to one of your picks) to see the board as it stood then. Values, ages and team names are today’s, not the ones on draft day. “Your class today” adds up your picks on today’s values and ranks it against every team’s.
- My board: put rookies in your own tiers (T1 to T5) on the rookie board (Prospects). Here, “My board” orders the best available by your tiers first, then by value; the tiers stay in your browser and, signed in, with your account.
- Suggested pick: the best available by value, or a player at one of your thin positions when he is in the same tier and within 10% of the best. The pick clock counts down Sleeper’s pick timer during a live draft.
- Likely there at your pick: the picks before yours simulated 300 times. Each owner takes one of the best available by value, nudged toward the positions he took in this league’s earlier rookie drafts, with some randomness; the percentage is how often a player lasted to your pick. A guide, not a promise.
- Rookie draft targets (an AI tool) sits in the room while the draft is open: the Seer ranks the class for your roster, picks and format. Rookies already taken count as rostered, so run it again between picks for an updated list. After the draft it’s on Prospects.
