Fantasy Draft Boards

Need some advice or help on the best draft board to purchase? I've used the NFL poster boards in the past but I'm not that stoked on the quality.

 

I'm in multiple leagues and we're looking for something a little better. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

Connect an extra computer, tablet, or phone to your TV and use it as a draft board. Cheap and effective.

We didn't quite go this far, but in the past we've had a few managers who couldn't make it in for the draft - so we created a doc on Google Drive - and just updated it with the picks as they were made. The remote managers also had access to this doc, and would submit their pics this way. It too - was very effective.

Google sheets is awesome. I set up mine so each player was assigned a 3 digit code and the data populated via look up tables. All team owners had to do was enter the players 3 digit code and the rest (player name, color coded position, team, and bye week fields) populate automatically. Relatively easy to setup. Makes running the draft board much easier than keying in all that info for 200 or so picks...

 

Here is a screencap from last year: http://tinypic.com/r/rsv8ee/8

 

It really works great for live drafts on TVs or projectors, and can support owners drafting remote. They can either enter their picks themselves, use the chat window, or via phone.

I've used them all over the years as well. Never really stoked in any of them either. I found a new one on the market this year from thedraftparty.com. I already ordered and received it, and it is the best I've ever seen. It is magnetic and erasable, but it's not a huge dry erase board, like the Moveit one I bought 2 years ago. I am also in many leagues, so it was important for me to get a reusable one as well, not to mention the baseball leagues I'm in, that you can also use this for.

I will second draftkit.com if you want something non electronic. I run 2 leagues and we have been using these guys for the past 5 years. Its nothing fancy but it gets the job done and they are about $20 each. The league splits the cost with me.
