New Guy ?

Hey guys - I'm new to this - taking on my first team now and drafting - For some reason my team just drafted a kicker in round 5? - There was not a single kicker in my priority list or on my draft board - What did I do wrong? I am afraid I have already screwed this up miserably - I thought this was a rookie draft and I had players already its looking like I don't and my team is now filled with no skill position players. Help please thanks!

The rookie draft starts with a completely empty team - in the war room, the selections should take whatever is on the top of your draft board, which is the right-most column. You can choose "Edit" to adjust the weights it uses to auto-fill the board (my personal preferred method, I like to adjust the weights until I like the list I see) or you can drag players into the middle column which is your manual list, which will move to the top of the draft board. There must be something in your weight settings that caused the kicker to bubble up to the top of the list on your pick. Don't fret too much about it, but go ahead and play with the draft board and make sure you are good to go for your next pick.
