Yahoo! Draft Room preview
In case you're not one of those fantasy football addicts that can't wait until your real league's drafts to have a fantasy team in front of you...those who, like myself, annually sign up for a Yahoo! Public league team just so that you have something to look at for the month before your draft...I figured I'd provide you with a quick glimpse of the new and improved Yahoo fantasy football draft room:
As with most Yahoo fantasy football products, I think it looks nicer than any other draft room that's offered (that I've seen at least). At the top of the dialog is a dynamic scrolling banner that shows which team is up to draft, along with the next teams to draft, which is pretty stylish. Below that you find a few other solid features, including an enlarged section that shows last years stats for the player you've currently selected, so you don't have to venture out of the draft room to get that information. Next to the player names, you see a list where you can add players to your queue...nothing special here, but not bad either. Finally, the right side of the draft room consists of an overview of your team and a chat room. The team section is pretty well laid out and makes it easy to see exactly what your starting roster will be come the beginning of the season. Overall, I have to say that again Yahoo looks like it has the top draft room available. While it hasn't really added any new features that I am aware of, besides maybe the bigger player stats section, they seemed to put all the focus in making it even more user friendly in terms of aesthetics and usability, which I really can't complain about.
In case you were interested about my team in this league, my important starters consist of Brian Westbrook, Earnest Graham/Reggie Bush, Braylon Edwards, Larry Fitzgerald and Kellen Winslow.

The first NFL game of the season starts in about 15 minutes. I know its just pre-saeson but HEY - we're getting closer to FFB draft time. I found a cool service - Feet on the Street FFB....You dial in via your cell phone to access info before and during your draft: 585-627-4153
