Draft Pick Trading enables Team Managers to trade draft slots - for example, a team manager might trade their 2nd and 3rd round pick slots to another team manager for their 1st round pick slot in return.
Trades can be performed on the ESPN Fantasy App and on the web.

Trade Draft Picks in a Non-Keeper League
- Go to "Opposing Teams" and select the team you want to trade with
- Click on "Propose Trade
- Propose the draft pick trade
Note: If you trade and receive a net total of draft picks greater than the number of rounds in the draft (i.e. more players than you have roster slots for), your draft will end once you've reached the maximum and you won't be able to select any more players. If you have traded away multiple picks but not received as many in return, you will end the draft with empty roster slots and be required to fill via Free Agency after the draft has finished. Draft pick trading is available until one hour before your draft.
Trade Draft Picks in a Keeper League
- Draft pick trades can be made as a swap of picks or as a combination of keepers and picks. Draft pick trades can only be done prior to the Keeper deadline for League Manager Leagues
- The Keeper deadline is determined by League Managers
- You are trading for a team manager's pick in a given round, not the pick itself
- If there's no assurance that your League Manager won't switch the draft order, it might be wise to avoid making such a trade. Otherwise that 2nd overall pick you thought you traded for could become the 10th pick just like that
