Aneoth wrote:Yeah me too. I much prefer a live draft.You can pre set your picks in YOUR preferred order for drafting. Although dont count on the computer exactly following your list.The main thing that I hate about "AutoDraft" is that the computer program running the draft will automatically SKIP over some of your picks to fill out empty positional slots (It will automatically fill your starting roster first) and IF (A big if there) your earlier listed choices are still available, then it will go back to your earlier picks for your backup positional slots, Even if you would have chosen those backups earlier in a live draft.I MUCH prefer live drafts so I can make my own STUPID choices instead of some computer making them for me. If I want to draft Kickers and defenses as my first 6 picks then that SHOULD be MY choice...... I have never liked Autodraft, but we must deal with little setbacks as we come to them…. One good thing is that there are only 8 Teams, so as BadMike said above our teams should all be loaded with first tier players at most spots anyway.That means the manager who plays the right studs each week will likely rise to the top.
Badmike wrote:Guys;I doubt we can get together for live draft before tomorrow night. So autodraft it is. It really doesn't take much time to rank your own players, I don't like some of the rankings they give, and also to exclude players you don't like (no, Trent Green will never play QB for my team....!). Hell if you hate the Cowboys you can exclude the entire team! Hint: Make your own lineup. Leave out all Kickers and Defenses, putting them in the "don not pick" area, or include just one of each. Then, since there are only eight teams, you can just pick one of each up on waivers the day after the draft, probably getting a very good pick ( only eight teams...and each team is allowed to have 17 players IIRC). Remember, with 8 teams, everyone is going to have a powerhouse, your starting lineup might have LT and Reggie Bush in the backfield with Carson Palmer at QB.....!Mike B.
mdr003 wrote:When will the autodraft happen, Mike? The first game is 6am Friday local time, so I'll need to see the draft results, add/drop as needed and set the lineup tonight - say a minimum 8 hours before the game kicks off. Will the draft happen within the next 10 hours or so?RegardsMike
