How It Works
From draft night to leaderboard glory in four simple steps.
Post Your Draft
Enter your draft picks manually or import them directly from Sleeper, ESPN, or Yahoo Fantasy. Add your league format, number of teams, and any context you want graders to know — like if you were targeting upside or playing it safe.
Get Graded
The community reviews your picks and assigns a grade on our A+ to F scale. Graders leave comments explaining their reasoning — what they liked, what concerned them, and what they would have done differently. The more grades your draft gets, the more accurate your consensus grade becomes.
Climb the Leaderboard
Drafts are ranked by their average community grade. The best drafts in each sport rise to the top of the leaderboard, updated in real time. Can you build a roster good enough to hit #1?
Go Pro (Optional)
Want expert-level analysis? Request a Pro Grade from one of our verified fantasy analysts. Pros provide detailed, multi-paragraph breakdowns covering value picks, reaches, roster construction, and league-specific strategy. Pro grades use our token system — purchase tokens, spend them on the analysis you want.
Import Your Draft Instantly
Don't want to type out every pick? We integrate directly with the most popular fantasy platforms. Connect your Sleeper, ESPN, or Yahoo Fantasy league and import your draft with a few clicks — player names, pick order, and round info are all pulled in automatically.
Our Grading Philosophy
We use a standardized A+ to F grading scale so every draft is evaluated consistently. The most important thing to understand: B is average, not bad. A "B" grade means you drafted a solid, competitive roster. Most drafts should land between B- and B+. Grades of A- and above are reserved for truly exceptional drafts, while C+ and below indicate significant areas for improvement.
We also ask graders to consider league context — a PPR draft looks different from Standard, and dynasty values players differently than redraft. Grade the strategy, not the outcome.

Pro Graders are verified fantasy sports analysts who have earned their status through consistent, high-quality contributions to the DraftGraders community. They specialize in specific sports and offer in-depth draft analysis that goes far beyond a simple letter grade.
There are three tiers of Pro Graders — Rising, Elite, and Legend — each reflecting their experience and track record on the platform. When you request a Pro Grade, you choose your grader based on their sport specialty, tier, and review history.

Community grading is completely free. Pro Grades use our token system — you purchase token packs and spend them when requesting expert analysis. Token costs vary by Pro Grader tier, and you can optionally add a rush fee for faster turnaround. Tokens can also be used to tip graders who provide exceptionally helpful feedback.
