Frequently Asked Questions

 

How should I determine my Fangrade for a player?

On every player profile you'll find a grading slider. Rank the player with the following number system based on how much you would like the Falcons to select this player in this year's NFL Draft. Remember, the ranking you apply is not necessarily based on how that player will perform at the professional level, but simply how much you would like to see that player eventually drafted by the Falcons.

  • 0-2: I would be very unhappy if the Falcons selected this player.

  • 2-4: I would not want the Falcons to select this player.

  • 4-6: I would be indifferent if the Falcons selected this player.

  • 6-8: I would approve of the Falcons selecting this player.

  • 8-10: I would REALLY like the Falcons to select this player.

How often can I grade an individual player?

Please grade each player on MyFalconsDraft.com no more than one time per day.

What will all these grades mean, and how will they be used?

The aggregate votes for each player will be cumulatively averaged over time. The grade can be viewed as a relative measure of the level of desire Falcons fans have for the club to draft that individual player. It is not necessarily a reflection of how our fans feel that player will perform at the professional level. By accessing the player profile pages, you can see how the players at each position stack up against each other in terms of their fan grades.

How will the live webcasts work?

The live Webcast will appear on the main MyFalconsDraft page shortly before the start of each event. You need to be logged in to view the live Webcast and chat with other fans during the video.

How do I enter the chat room, and when will chat be active?

The chat room is active during live video webcasts. You must be logged in to MyFalconsDraft to participate. You can enter the chat room under your registered nickname after you log in.

What live webcasts are scheduled?

There are three live Webcast events already on the calendar.

What is the $300K Contest, and how do I participate?

What is an RSS reader?

RSS, or real simple syndication, is simply a technology that allows you to set up custom news "feeds" that automatically populate your news reader. Your RSS newsreader is located along the right hand side of the MyFalconsDraft.com pages, and you can control the stories and FalconsLIFE conversations that populate that area.

Can I load in custom feeds into my RSS newsreader?

The MyFalconsDraft.com newsreader is limited to a set number of feeds. But remember, if you're a member of FalconsLIFE, you have an even more robust newsreader at your disposal!

Why Should I Register?

What Information Do I Have to Supply?

We ask only for your first name, last name, valid email address and zip code.

Why Do You Need a Valid Email Address?

We need to validate that you are who you say you are, and we do so by sending an email to the address you provide us. The email contains a confirmation link, which guides you through the rest of the process.

What is a Fan Grade?

A Fan Grade is simply the average of all player ratings up to that point in time for that specific player. It represents the collective voice of Falcons' fans and reflects, overall, the extent to which participating Falcons' fans want the organization to draft that individual player later this month.
