Why even bother pre-ranking my draft if you're not following my list Yahoo???? In a keeper league i had pick #7 and i've put Jac Caglianone first on my list but ended up with a SP that i didn't need and Caglianone was picked in the second round....you screwed me Yahoo.

The functionality of the pre-draft rankings is far behind that of the live draft module. If I'm going to miss a draft, I hesitate to even use these rankings since it is overly simplified and can (and has) easily mess up my draft.
For instance, this year, I wanted to draft any of 3 catchers earlier than their ADP. However, if I simply ranked them higher than their ADP, then I would probably end up with 3 catchers in back-to-back-to-back picks!
One way to solve this is to include with each player's eligible position a position # drop-down list in a section called "Maximum position # to draft this player". So in this example, I would select "1" for the catcher eligibility so that once I draft one of these catchers, the others would be excluded. If a player has multiple position eligibilities, there would be a drop-down list for each position and the player would only be excluded once all eligible positions were maxed out. The drop-down list should also include "Unlimited" (or go up to the max # of players on a roster). This way, you can avoid excluding players like Shohei Ohtani who have "Util" eligibility only since every batter drafted before him would technically count toward the "Util" position.

I see this is ranked 21st. Not bad for a suggestion proposed around 2014. For those who will still be around, it should make it to the top 10 by 2030...or so. Onward!

Every Website Developer at Yahoo and every Yahoo Fantasy Baseball pundit should be required to modify the Pre-draft Rankings for at least 200 players. Then watch the suggestions box fill to overflow.
What we have here is...

HI, please improve your tool for pre-draft ranking, it is so slow, inefficient and annoying right now. Does anyone from Yahoo has ever tried it ? It must be one of the worst ergonomically design tool on the web. Please find a solution, look elsewhere, allows multiples columns, copy & paste from users lists, etc. I don't know but please, you are killing your users for 20 years with this catastophic tool.

Please make it possible to export pre-draft rankings to a team in an On-Demand Draft League. I would like to export to a new team in the 2 minutes from draft load until the draft starts. Thanks.

Remove keepers from Pre-ranking to make it easier to rank players.
I have 2 drafts coming up this weekend that I'm going to miss. Trying to Pre-rank players would be much easier without 90 to 130 keepers to navigate through. -

why can the Keepers not be removed from the Pre-Draft Rankings. Truly sucks in a dynasty league

I put a lot of time into setting up pre-draft rankings. Unfortunately not enough teams joined that league, so the team was deleted. Inexcusably, my rankings are not preserved anywhere. WTF?
All that effort is gone, with zero warning, and apparently no way to recover.

Your pre-draft and auction values edit page sucks. It's very hard to use.
Also, the Yahoo generated ranking and prices for players are horrible.

Allow pre ranking draft per position. I mean, if i want to pick a 1B on my first draft pick, i would like the pick will be chosen from a list of 1B I would select on advance.

I should be able to make edits to the ranking rather than create a whole new one.

The lack of this feature really kills the pre-draft experience for keeper leagues.

In keeper leagues, the players that are kept are not then removed from the Pre-draft list. This makes it impossible to make a list. Brett Johnson is correct and since he's asked 3 or more years and I have asked.... why is it still this way? Run keeper leagues like keeper leagues or don't allow keepers and we can go elsewhere

Here is a simple request. Please eliminate all keeper players from each GM's available pre draft rankings. Right now, keepers are entered (manually) but when each GM goes to do their pre draft rankings, ALL the keeper players are listed in there still! So each GM has to manually select every keeper player(we have 200 keepers) and move them to the ignore side of the draft rankings. it is rediculous! They should be removed from any eligible predraft rankings lists. i have asked for this for about 3 years now. Please...would help every single keeper league.

The pre-draft rankings system is terrible. Like it was programed for DOS computers or something.

Allow us to sort players by MLB/NFL team.
Do this for fantasy baseball and fantasy football! -

Usually they will add a category for 2019 projections in the drop down under the player info...making it very easy to sort and manipulate the data. I actually came here to ask...When will Yahoo be adding the 2019 projections to the player page???

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.
