Why The Dynasty Rookie Pick Tracker Tool Exists

In offseason dynasty startups, commissioners often draft rookie picks before the NFL Draft by using kickers as placeholders — but tracking who owns what quickly becomes a mess.

Common Issue

Manual Tracking Breaks Down

Once multiple kickers are drafted as rookie picks, it’s hard to keep a clean ledger of the 1.01, 1.02, 2.01 and beyond — especially in slow drafts.

  • No more spreadsheets
  • No more chat scroll
  • Always know who owns what
Sleeper Gap

Sleeper Doesn’t Draft Picks in Startups

Sleeper startup drafts don’t natively support selecting future rookie picks — so leagues invent workaround systems that require constant manual bookkeeping.

  • Kicker placeholder method
  • Works pre-NFL Draft
  • Commissioner-friendly
Pain Point

Trades Create Confusion

If rookie picks are traded during the startup, it becomes even harder to track ownership accurately — which leads to disputes and mistakes.

  • Clear ownership at all times
  • Team view + ledger view
  • Less commissioner overhead
Pick Tracker keeps your placeholder system — but makes the ownership tracking automatic.

FAQ

Quick answers for commissioners running dynasty startups with rookie picks drafted early.

How do rookie picks work in a Sleeper startup draft?
Sleeper doesn’t natively allow drafting future rookie picks inside a startup. Most leagues use placeholder kickers to represent rookie picks (1.01, 1.02, 2.01, etc.). Pick Tracker reads those kicker selections and turns them into a live rookie pick ledger.
What exactly should we do with kickers?
Before the draft starts, your league agrees that each kicker represents a rookie pick slot. During the startup, when a manager selects a kicker, they are effectively selecting that rookie pick. Pick Tracker tracks the mapping automatically based on kicker draft order.
Does this support multiple rounds of rookie picks?
Yes. As long as your league has enough placeholder kickers drafted to represent the picks you want (e.g., through the 3rd round), Pick Tracker will track them in the ledger and by-team views.
What if rookie picks are traded during the startup?
Pick Tracker provides a clear ownership snapshot so managers and commissioners can verify who owns each rookie pick at any time.
Do I need to connect anything?
No login is required. Use a Sleeper username or League ID to pull your league. The Dynasty Rookie Pick Tracker automatically converts kicker placeholders into mapped rookie picks inside your startup draft.
Is Pick Tracker free?
Yes — Pick Tracker is a free commissioner tool designed to reduce manual tracking.
