Guide on how to edit mock draft settings in the Draft Dominator.

Footballguys Staff's Draft Dominator: How to Create Realistic Mock Drafts Footballguys Staff Published 06/01/2026

Using mock drafts to prepare for your draft is one of the best strategies you can use to dominate your league. With the Draft Dominator, you can run an unlimited number of mock drafts and test out different draft strategies and scenarios. The problem with most mock draft simulators is that they can feel like they don't mimic how your real drafts go. That is why the Draft Dominator is full of customizable settings that are designed to make your mock drafts feel like your real drafts. 

How to Edit Mock Draft Settings

When you are logged in and have started a new mock draft in the Draft Dominator, select the "More" button. Under "Draft Strategy", select "Mock Draft Settings".

Create Profiles

Now you have the option to create profiles for each manager of your league and customize their mock draft settings. If you'd prefer not to create profiles for each manager, the settings you adjust will apply to all managers in your mock drafts. From here, you can set specific drafting behaviors for each manager. For instance, if you know one manager never selects anyone from the Las Vegas Raiders, you can adjust their settings so that, during mock drafts, they never select a Raiders player. Or if a manager in your league highly values wide receivers or running backs, you can adjust the minimum and maximum total number of players they will select at that position.

Creating profiles is where you get true, real-life-feeling mock drafts and will give you the edge in helping you dominate your drafts.
