About FanDraft
Our Story
The inspiration for FanDraft arose during the Summer of 2000, while the founder was at his league’s draft. A league mate had made a makeshift sticker board which he was jestfully mocking. After being challenged to “make something better”, he spent a year learning to program and developed the first version of FanDraft.
FanDraft was launched in 2001, with the intention of providing a more modern approach to the traditional “sticker” draft boards often used at in-person draft parties. The digital nature of FanDraft allowed for a more engaging and realistic experience than the static cardboard/sticker draft boards could provide, and the in-person draft was changed forever.
The goal of FanDraft is to help make a fantasy football draft feel more like an actual NFL Draft. It can be projected via a digital projector or output onto a large television for the entire league to enjoy. FanDraft helps a fantasy football draft stay organized and running smoothly, while also creating a more engaging experience.
FanDraft: Online Fantasy Football Draft Board
FanDraft is now a fully online platform. The product continues to offer the same rich draft experience previously provided by the desktop software but is now fully operational from the internet.
Leagues can now have any number of users participate in the draft remotely, or continue to use the application for fully in-person drafts by using the “Commissioner Mode” option.
