Draft Room
2008 Draft
Live snake draft (ESPN) · 10 teams · 16 rounds · 160 picks
Draft Board
Columns are each owner’s fixed draft slot. Picks snake: odd rounds run left→right, even rounds run right→left — the overall pick number in each cell always increases.
Each cell shows the points the player scored for the drafter that season (trades/drops end the accrual), and its tint compares that to the historical expectation for the same draft slot:green = steal, red = bust. Pre-2016, only starter weeks were recorded, so bench points are not counted in this era (slot expectations are era-matched, so tints stay fair).
