Yahoo draft tool 4 Months, 4 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
Just curious, but has anyone done an actual Yahoo draft? I did a mock last night, and it was pretty 'blah' as far as the Flash app. No list of stats for example, unlike ESPN or MDC that has projections. Is the Yahoo draft different than the Yahoo mock draft tool?

I've never done a mock at Yahoo, so I'm not sure if or how their mock client differs from their draft client.

I can tell you that, in the past, Yahoo's draft client makes their players rankings, your player rankings, and last-season stats easily accessible. (And, I'm betting this year ADP is accessible, too, as you can now work off the full Yahoo ADP list when you do your own pre-rankings.)

I've done both auction and straight mocks over at Yahoo this year and it looks identical to their "real" ones from last year. (Though I haven't had a proper draft there this season yet). The one thing to do with yahoo is pre-rank so you aren't forced to use their rankings and sift through the nonsense Funston farted out. I guess meh is a nice way to describe their draft client, but it gets the job done.

If you bring a few tools to the draft you'll be ahead of the game. Just don't be afraid to stick to the plan when certain guys you like start going off the board, because I think they tend to bunch similar types of guys together. Stay true to how you value guys and you'll be good.

I do have most of my longest-running leagues over at Yahoo and keep coming back though I have a feeling there are better ones out there.

The devil you know; you know?
