Why it exists
Frankly I just wanted to see if I could make an easier way to draft that does not require hours of studying to be competative. I am going to experiment and see how good my team comes out using a little assistance from the site.

Fourth Down fantasy draft
A fantasy football draft site that tries to answer a fairly important question: who should I actually pick now?
Notes
The story so far
What it is doing
A background worker re-ranks players using overall value, roster fit, positional demand, and tier breaks. In less technical terms, the board changes its mind as the league changes its mind.
Getting the live picks
The browser companion and Netlify functions move draft picks into the interface while the ESPN login information stays with ESPN. This part is still in development, because live data has a habit of being less cooperative than demo data.
