[NoOne]

i wouldn't approach it quite like RL. many ways to do it, but here's what i do:

as far as evaluation -- ratings with tempered expectation due to inaccuracy in scouting. understanding things like 18yo's may have higher potential, but college kids a more likely to hit their ceiling, albeit slightly lower on average. (evens out over time, likely, but one's more volatile, etc)

i have a shortlist named "Watch List" -- i fill it with the "best" players. in this case i have a high threshold. over time as ratings become more accurate, i weed this list. i also re-check minors, occasionally. so, i only shortlist a small number of players before the draft.

i like to save a bit of time on the "draft boards"

early on (1-3? depends on settings), i only care about a small range of high end prospects. so, i auto-draft to my pick before i make and temporary lists. i just use "default" list for this - it's a Work-in-Progress (temp) list for me.

now, i go through the batters/pitchers seperately. round 1 i may only shortlist 3-5-10 of each.. maybe more of one in some years etc... then, i pare that down to a choice, but i leave the others shortlisted. (obviously if any of the Watch List players make it to my pick, they are a priority and may not add to a temp list until all on the watchlist are gone, because i already know they are the top tier according to my preferences)

auto-draft to next pick

i continue to look for 'comparable' players to any that remain on the list and shortlist them. however, by round 3ish (later for me-> "low scouting accuracy" setting) this list starts to explode. this would be teh equivalent of a big draft board, for my way of doing things...

once the obviously better prospects are gone, that's when i work on the greater shortlist / draft board. this is where i know differences in scouting accuracy will allow a great # on the list to persist through more than a round. it's worthwhile to weed through the players en masse now.

i will look through this lists for choices at various points, as well as whether i decide to wait a round on one etc... e.g. 10sp on list and i need only 1. if possible i will draft a good quality player of a less abundant position in my list and relative to need where prudent.

it's also way easier to compare players in a shortlist without junk in between. custom views, filters etc etc with no filler between.

at the end of this list (all drafted) i expect interchangeable players to be available and zoom through to the end, i amay even immediately release those players if too many in mil system.

at end, i clear the Temp shortlist. i made good choices relative to all that was available at each round, and i have added names to a long-term watch list for future trade possibilities -- with the least amount of effort possible.
