The Players screen is the primary view that you'll be drafting from.

Colors

One of DraftKick's fundamental advantages is using color to guide you. This is especially true for DraftKick's positional color codes:

• You can see at a glance if there's a wasteland at a position coming up, meaning you'd better grab the one available at the top of the list.
• You eyes can quickly spot a pair of players at the same position so that you can quickly compare them head-to-head.
• You can glance at your roster to see which positions you have and which ones are missing.

DraftKick also uses a green/red gradient for

Filters

Across the top are several useful filters.

First off, you can search for a player by name, which is useful when someone drafts an unexpected name from somewhere near the middle or bottom of the list. The search box will automatically match accents and non-English characters, so you don't have to enter them. It also is automatically cleared after each pick.

Columns

Rk is a player's ranking based on the projections you are using and DraftKick's valuation based on your specific league.

ADP is the average draft position on your league's site. DraftKick has ADPs and default rankings from several sites, and you can choose the one that best describes your league in the Settings.

$ is the same as Rk but converted to an auction dollar scale. While this is primarily for auctions, it can also be helpful in snake drafts. Unlike Rk, $ has a wide spread at the top, but values get closer later in the draft. That makes it useful for comparing value across rounds (i.e. for weighing trades).

AAV is average auction value and it is corresponds to ADP. Use it as an indicator of how the "market" values a player, not necessarily how much you should spend. As with ADP, DraftKick pulls in auction values from several platforms, and you can choose the best one in the Settings.
