I'm not sure we would be able to complete an offline draft prior to season start on 9/7.

150 total picks in ~4.5 days = 40-50 minutes per pick. That seems very difficult to achieve.

While auto-draft order is not ideal, it will at least ensure that the draft is completed and allow us to do waiver wire pick ups (if desired) prior to season start.

Just my two cents, whatever commissioner wants to do

Is it fair to have some who can react on draft results and some others who can't react to draft results?
I don't think so.

Oh yes... the draft is before the season. So it's tomorrow. I'll switch to auto-draft, ok?

I'm with wathever you want to do.
Just for fun i played for 30-40 minutes a mock draft pick with 9 other managers. The clock was set at 30 second for each manager to make a pick. If someone wasn't fast the program picked a random player for that manager.

Then program should use "Pre-Draft Rankings" and not picking a random player.
For everyone and especially for those who are not present.
Otherwise, some managers start with a team they don't feel like playing at all. Or better: they don't play.

I've never done fantasy football, so I don't understand everything at stake, but do as you want, it will be fun anyway

I was not used to that preset and I made the most shitty draft possible I am expected to be 0-15....

Good luck everyone

So, let me guess this straight.
This was set to auto-draft, meaning the system drafted whatever he wanted to us?

it looks like this. some teams have really good players, others not. I'm in the middle myself. I'm forecast to be 8-7.

I have now claimed a few waivers. the rest of you should do the same and then everyone will have a useful group.

By the way, there are 3 keepers. you keep these for the 2024 season and you can also trade draft picks.

Don't worry - in a 10 team league there will be plenty of great players available to pick up on waivers each week. You may be surprised how much your team will change over the season.

Ubernoobers predicted 5-10 finish

I better get to work on this roster - NFL Season Kicks off in a few days!
