untinted = position not in the records
K = keeper (pick spent to retain)
A gentle note on the data: boards through 2025 are transcribed straight from the Commissioner's hand-kept draft sheets — abbreviated names, creative spellings, and all. Position colors are inferred by matching names against the league's keeper and scoring records, so an untinted pick isn't an error, just a name the records couldn't confirm. Older years are spottier than recent ones. From 2026 on, the board comes straight from Sleeper.
