Questions
- Who can I draft in the NFL draft game?
- Every rated player since 1980: anyone drafted since 1980 with career stats, plus every player with a recorded stat since 1999. Pools narrow it to this season, a decade, rookies since 2015 or one franchise.
- What lineup do I draft?
- The All-22: a quarterback, a running back, two receivers plus a slot receiver or a fullback, a tight end and five offensive linemen, then four linemen and three linebackers (4-3) or three and four (3-4), two corners and two safeties. A kicker is optional.
- How are NFL players rated?
- Skill players by fantasy points, defenders by sacks, tackles, interceptions and passes defended, linemen by seasons as a starter and career approximate value, kickers by field goals and accuracy. Each is compared within his position and era, with credit for Pro Bowls, All-Pro teams and the Hall of Fame.
- Is this an all-time NFL draft simulator?
- Yes. Pick the All-time legends pool and draft from every rated player since 1980, then simulate a 17-week season with playoffs to see whose all-time team wins.
- How does the draft game work?
- Create a league, pick a player pool and invite friends with a five-letter code or a link. Everyone takes turns in a snake draft until every lineup slot is filled, then the season is simulated: a full schedule, standings, playoffs, a champion and an MVP.
- Can I play the draft game with friends?
- Yes. Up to eight teams can join one league from a code or a share link. Every pick shows up on every screen as it is made. Empty seats can be filled with computer teams, so it also works solo.
- Do I need an account?
- No. The game is free and needs no sign in. Your browser keeps a random id so it remembers your seat and your leagues; nothing else is stored about you.
- What happens if someone does not pick in time?
- With a pick clock on, the best available player for that team's most needed slot is taken when the clock runs out. Miss two picks in a row and your team drafts on autopilot until you tap to take it back.
- How is the season decided?
- Each team's strength is its players' ratings weighted by how much each lineup slot matters. Every game samples both scores around the gap in strength, so the better roster wins more often but upsets happen. The whole season comes from the league code, so everyone sees the same results.
- Where do the ratings come from?
- From real stats in public data, normalized by position and era. Each sport's how it works page lists the exact sources, licenses and formula.
- How long does a league page last?
- Thirty days. The results page at its code stays up for a month so everyone in the league can come back to it.
