Rookie Drafts
This page outlines the basics. For details for a specific rookie draft see below.
Rookie Draft
- Rookie drafts start in 2022
- 5 round linear (non-snake) draft
- Slow Draft via Sleeper
- 12 hours per pick
- Auto pick after 12 hours
- Rookie draft will start approximately 3 weeks after the NFL Draft, or we can vote to start it earlier or later.
Draft order
Non-Playoff Teams: Picks 1-6
- Inverse order of Maximum Points For (Max PF) from the previous season
- Lowest Max PF gets #1 pick
- Maximum PF means the most points you could have scored if you set a perfect lineup every week. This is a good way to make sure the worst teams get the best draft picks.
Playoff Teams: Picks 7-12
| Playoff Finish | Draft Pick Slot |
|---|---|
| 5 | 7 |
| 6 | 8 |
| 4 | 9 |
| 3 | 10 |
| 2 | 11 |
| 1 (Champion) | 12 |
This is reverse order of playoff finish EXCEPT for the 5th and 6th place teams. The winner of the 5th/6th place playoff game will get the higher draft pick (gives something to play for in that game).
