How to Create a Mock Draft

Learn how to run multiple mock drafts

Written by Sleeper HQ

On Sleeper, you're able to create as many mock drafts as you'd like.

Create a Draftboard

To create a mock draft using the mobile app, click the PLAY button found at the top right of the FANTASY tab:

Click play for Mock Drafts

That will bring you to a screen that shows any current mock drafts you have, along with an option to start one for football, basketball, or soccer (EPL, La Liga). Pick the sport for which you wish to create a mock draft for:

As soon as you pick your desired sport, you'll have your draftboard!

You'll see that you can claim which spot you'd like on the draftboard, and you can also get an invite link to share:


Modify Draft Settings

In the upper-right corner, you'll see a settings icon where you can customize the mock draft to your liking.

You can choose the type of scoring, the number of teams, and if you want rookies or vets only instead of all players.

You will also see options to choose if you want the draft to be a snake or linear draft, or if you'd like to enable 3rd Round Reversal.

You can even pre-set any keepers on certain squares before the draft begins!


Invite Others (optional)

You can draft against the CPU, real people, or both!

  • To invite other people, just copy your draftboard link and share it with them.

If you are bored of mocking against the CPU and want real people for a variety, try joining our Fantasy Football Chat channel and posting your mock draft link into the pinned Mock Drafts thread.


Draft!

Once you are ready, start the draft. You can pause it at any team and edit any mistakes or changes to selections.

When you complete your mock draft, you'll have the option to convert that into a new league. You can also share it on social media.

You won't have to worry about saving your draftboard in any way as we do that for you! We save all of your previous mock draft results so that you can access them at any time.


Not Just Mocks

Keep in mind that this very same draftboard can be used for your league's live draft as well, whether you play on Sleeper or another platform.

You're able to cast a draftboard to your TV, and you can have teams making their picks whether they are present or not. All of those would appear on the board instantly.
