Initial Draft Process
Overview
The initial draft (Reboot Draft) is a structured process designed to build a complete 30-man roster. Owners will manually make 18 selections over 18 rounds. To ensure rosters are filled efficiently and fairly, the system will automatically draft 12 additional players at specific points during your draft.
Automatic Draft Picks
Automatic picks are handled by the system to fill depth chart positions with "role players." These players are selected from the best available remaining pool based on specific attribute criteria (such as Maximum Speed or Pass Control cutoffs) to ensure they fit their intended depth role.
Automatic Trigger Table
- QB2: Automatically drafted after you select QB1.
- RB3 & RB4: Automatically drafted after you select RB2.
- WR3 & WR4: Automatically drafted after you select WR2.
- TE2: Automatically drafted after you select TE1.

DL & LB
- If MS > 56: RS:44, RP:56
- If MS = 56: RS:38, RP:50
- If MS = 50: RS:31, RP:44
- If MS = 44: RS:25, RP:38
- If MS < 44: RS:25, RP:31
DB
- If MS > 63: RS:44, RP:56
- If MS = 63: RS:38, RP:50
- If MS = 56: RS:38, RP:44
