Player Drafts

Drafts are one of the most interesting aspects of a general manager's career. New leagues begin with dispersal, or "inaugural" drafts. Existing leagues thrive through the influx of new talent via amateur drafts. The addition of new teams to leagues can lead to expansion drafts. OOTP supports all three of these types of drafts, plus the Rule 5 draft. Drafting the right players is an essential part of building a winning franchise.

Note: Only managers of parent league teams are allowed to draft. If you have chosen to play as the manager of a affiliated team such as a minor league team, you won't have to worry about drafting!
