Edit Draft Order Tool
This is a great tool... but allow the Commish total control.
1) Changes should automatically upload to be "draft" ready. Changing the draft type or time should NOT change or reset previous "Draft" editing.
2) Allow the commish to "fill" a draft selection without using a player. In other words, 1 player can take up more than one draft selection. Why? to "create" more value, bc some managers are willing to pay more than 1 selection for a player. Commish can also use this tool to "penalize" managers that do things that "hold the league *******".
3) Allow the draft…

support full/real keeper functionality
Yahoo should start actually supporting keeper functionality, where you can track rosters, years kept, salaries, etc., and can set how many years players can be kept, salary bumps, etc. CBS has been doing this for about 10 years already so it's very achievable technologically.
Forcing commissioners to enter (and calculate) all keeper info by hand isn't actually supporting keeper leagues - what Yahoo calls "Keeper Leagues" is really "recurring leagues", in which nothing other than team names and league settings are saved.

Pre-draft rankings
Please add a search feature in the pre-draft rankings. Having to scroll thru names either by alphabetical order or rank order is pretty annoying and adding a search feature seems like an easy fix.

We need to add a field for the commish to add the salary and contract for for keeper players in auction lgs
Each team's players need to have his salary and contract to be listed on the the team page all season and to be edited by the commish at any time.
this applies to all fantasy sports that use an auction style draft...
cooch.

Create a Commissioner's Protected or Exempt List
We do farm club drafts each year in my 3-sport dynasty league -- baseball, football, and basketball and hold those players' rights for up to 3 years. If there could be a commissioner-controlled list of "protected" players we could put those guys on it would be very helpful. It would eliminate the failure to check the list and accidentally pick up someone else's farm clubber. Commish would just have to release the player/add him to a roster when someone wants to activate them. Also - for issues like the 45 newly drafted players (Mize, Bart, etc) that were posted, they…

Allow Slow Drafts
Please add the capability for slow drafts. All you would have to do is up the draft pick time possibility all the way to 24 hours. CBS' website lets you do this and it's great for slow drafts. I see no reason why you can't do it as well...

Draft Pick Management - Ability to Remove Keeper Slots from Trade Resources
So we have been running a keeper league for the past 5-6 years... and as commissioner I keep running into the same issue every year, minor and fixable but this should be an option.
I should be able to remove the keeper slots from the draft pick(s) pool available for teams to use in trades.

Draft round timer Should be adjustable DURING the draft.
The first few Rounds of a Draft can justify :45 second clocks or even one minute. Strategies are being sorted out with the most important players. However, the second half of a draft can really lag and become frustrating. Some players build up their draft Queue and just leave, and others just browse with indecision. If the commish could adjust the time clock during the draft, more teams would stay until the end. With less frustration.

Let us re-sort the pre-draft rankings without having to create an entirely new list
Currently, if you don't like the default pre-draft rankings, you have to basically create an entirely new list in your preferred order by clicking the arrows to add players to the "Preferred" list.
Why not just allow us to drag-and-drop names from the default list? If I don't want Scherzer at #1 (I mean, seriously Yahoo!?) and a handful of other players, usually pitchers, in weird spots, I shouldn't have to create a whole new list of nearly 300 players.
Just let me drag Scherzer down to a more reasonable spot and continue to use the default list as is.

Make a change to pre-rank settings to allow you to designate a position to be drafted in a specific round.
Allow the ability to select what position you want drafted in a particular round when you pre-rank players and have to auto-draft.

Allow user to change player slot during the Draft. 1B/OF. Owner should choose where he is.
Allow user to change player slot during the draft. If a player has multiple position eligibility such as 1B/OF, the owner should choose where he is put in your team during the draft. That way I can draft around what I've picked, not where yahoo sticks them on my team.

Please allow Commish to pause the draft more than 5 times or 15 mins. How about full control?
ESPN let’s be the Commish pause the draft and start it back up anytime they want. I suggest Yahoo do the same as there is no valid reason to have limited pauses. Unforeseen can things happen and having a simple pause and unpause button would be great. Thanks.

Update auto-draft settings
For two years running myself and others in my league have not been able to attend the draft. We have set our pre-draft ranking and hoped for the best only to find that players we pre-ranked were not chosen seemingly due to one or the other of the rules below. Regardless of what kind of league you are in, if you pre-rank players that should over ride any other default settings
- All starting positions are filled before any bench players are chosen.
- The system determines a maximum number of players to draft per position (starters plus bench) so that your…

Create a new auction format like your waiver feature in auction leagues; Player gets nominated and all GM's have 10 seconds to make a blind
Create a new auction draft format...player gets nominated, all GM's have 10 seconds to make a blind bid...highest bid wins and is announced by computer within 5 seconds. Could auction 3-4 players per minute with this.
Yahoo already uses this on waivers, so technology is there. This format would drastically speed up time of auction drafts.

Please bring back the 10 man on demand draft and shorten the **** pick time...
It seems the big thing now is to let every second tick off the clock when a draft is conducted now. It takes 3 hours to do a 12 man draft. UTTER ********

Missing mock draft report card and results
I did a mock draft last night 4 March 2018 and did not receive the mock draft results nor is the mock draft showing up in the mock draft report card. Please fix this issue, it is not the first time this has happened.

14 Team Mock Drafts!
There needs to be 14 team mock drafts available. I have had a 14 team league since 2008 and can't believe Yahoo! still doesn't offer a mock draft bigger than 12 teams. I need a 14 team mock draft to prepare! Let's do it.
