Draft

I have been looking around the site trying to find about how the draft works and how to set up a draft list. I see there is a list of draftees but no way to make a list, does that appear soon?
I did read some posts about draft but was confused clear about the number of players, do I have to have a maximum of 60 after the draft and then have to cut some to bring down to 53?
Also as a first season coach trying to make sense of contacts and recontracting players, I keep getting a message about players might go to free agency, but the lowest contract length is 2 years. Are there any clear/simple guides about all of this?

First makeup your draft list
Find the player in the main list
Click on the little info button
There is a button to add him to your draft board, click on that
Once they on the draft board you can drag them up or down to adjust when you want to draft them, you can't choose the exact round but you do choose who gets picked first on your list

I have the draft list, but I don't see any info button anywhere.

If you are doing it from your computer just click and drag to the manual priority list.

Don't see a manual priority list either.
I can see the players in the 2029 Draft Class. If I click on one of them, it just brings up the normal player details card.

Ok you are probably looking at draft class. If you go to draft war room you will see your manual priority list. The player card is the info button he was talking about if you click on details there is a button at the bottom saying add to draft list. Which adds him to your manual priority list in the draft war room.

I think it probably is not available yet. When does it appear? after end of season?

Yes I looked at your league and you are still a good ways away from the draft and I think the draft class is the only thing that appeared, and yes I am pretty sure you won't be able to see the war room until next season starts.

Perhaps you can make notes on the players you like for the draft.....upon doing so an asterisk will trail the players name in varoius searches. So when the draft does come around at least your prior searches will not go to waste.
