Snake-draft pick planner

See your overall selections and the gap to your next turn. This is pick arithmetic, not a prediction of who will be available. It assumes a normal snake draft with no traded picks, keeper deductions or third-round reversal.

12 teams, slot 5, 16 rounds. First picks: 5, 20, 29 and 44.

Where should you pick a player?

Start with a ranking for your scoring and roster format. Put similarly valued players into tiers, then compare the available player with the alternatives likely to reach your next turn. Use ADP to understand the market, not as a promise of availability.

For example, the default planner gives slot five picks 5 and 20. Fourteen selections happen between them. If only one player remains in a tier you want, that gap matters more than a tiny difference between two adjacent overall ranks. Until 2027 rankings and ADP are available, this remains a planning method rather than a named-player recommendation.

Prepare the settings before the player list

• League size, redraft or keeper rules, and bench size.
• PPR, half-PPR or non-PPR; passing TD values and any bonuses.
• Starting QB, RB, WR, TE, FLEX and superflex requirements.
• Draft order, traded picks, auction budget or keeper costs.
• Waiver rules and transaction limits that affect bench strategy.

Those settings change draft value. The same player can be a sensible pick in one format and a poor price in another.
