I believe you go to the "Draft Queue" link and then just click on the "+" symbol to the right of the players name you want.

I tried that, but I still can't actually sign the player.

I know why that won't work. That "+" symbol is just to add players to your draft queue....not actually add them to your roster or selection unless you have an active pick on the board. Looks like JP's fix is what will have to happen. Need to have a teams pick up on the draft board in oder to select them that way.

Yeah, one of us with access just has to add a pick so that the team can select the guy they want to add.

I think I fixed it (getting up early New Year's Day pays off!) so that you can sign players through the player list page. Unfortunately, I'm not 100% sure that I got all the draft roster size calculations correct for roster limits. So if it won't let you sign someone (regular or draftee), post it.

BTW, on the change roster status page, it might look like it didn't work, but try refreshing after clicking the status you wanted and I believe it will then have the status you wanted for the player.
