[Donovon-Steelers]

Since we're on bye week, if anyone wants to check out the updated PNFL Draft Client, its here:

Improvements

Draft Board

* Added sorting players by multiple attributes (SP, HA, etc) via position
* New link for War Room allowing teams to setup/manage their draft
* Current pick now glows
* Fixed Admin button not scrolling
* Draft slots using Auto-Pick function will show AP badge(s)
* Automatic emails to a coach when:
(1) Its his turn to pick
(2) His auto-draft list is exhausted

(Option: Do we want to set this to email *all* coaches when a pick has been selected, like we do now?)

Admin Page

* Improved .csv upload of draft players to match Charlie's export file (no editing needed)
* Added Coaches' section w/emails
* Added instructions for setup for auto-emails to coaches for their pick(s)
* Moved link back to draft board to top
* Add admin Draft Tracker, listing picks by team to help Rich assign players in-game (with .csv file to download)

War Room

(Now you have to pick your Team (for testing), but we'll later add logins (matching Forum) to skip this and ensure privacy)

* Comprehensive player list w/advanced sorting capabilities
* Draft tracker for your picks (also allows you selecting players or trading picks from here)
* Allow creations of Auto-Pick lists
** Drag and drop players from All Players roster into any list
Examples:
*** Top 20 players
*** Best DEs
** Allow dragging lists into lists
*** You could specify:
(1) Player x
(2) Player y
(3) Best DE list (sub-list w/editing on-the-fly)
(4) Player z
* Then assign a list to any draft slot(s)
* Draft slots using Auto-Pick will show AP badge(s)
* Already selected players show on Auto-Pick lists invalidating them

Upcoming Plans

* Allow draft picks to be advertised (shopping pick X for a 3rd round pick and a safety, etc)
* Better handling of complex multi-slot trades
* Allow selection of any draft slot and send that owner a trade proposal > that owner can (a) accept, (b) refuse or (c) counter
* Automatic roster uploads so owners can see where potential draftees "fit" on their roster

Sounds great

[Steve-Buffalo Bills]

Wow! Coming along nicely!

May need about 5-8 of us to test it out with a fake draft using last season's draft pool (or a new pool). I'd recommend going all 7 rounds so we can try to break it.

[Justin-Chicago]

This sounds incredible!

With a smaller draft pool being discussed, what happens if somebody has specified to pick the highest rated player at a position, and that position has run out?

[Dan-Cincinnati]

Amazing Donovan!
