What does snake draft mean and how does it impact the selection process in a sports draft?

A snake draft is a type of draft where the order of selection reverses after each round. This means that the team that picks last in one round gets to pick first in the next round, and vice versa. This impacts the selection process by giving teams at the end of the order a chance to make back-to-back picks, which can be an advantage in choosing the best available players.
