r4derby Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Whilst I kind of agree it could get a bit panicky, that is also the fun part. It makes it fast and frenetic and also encourages people to do their research, in case that situation arises. It also helps if one or two people aren't online to do the draft live, as the site will take the full allotted time before making the pick automatically. This can be quite a ballache when you've got several teams doing this.Waivers are where an owner can put in a claim for an undrafted player but they have to wait a certain amount of time before it becomes official (I think the NFL one is usually on a Wednesday). If more than one owner puts in a claim for the same player, it goes to the waiver priority (starts off as the draft order in reverse but then switches to standings-based).You can't drop an undroppable player at all. All pre-determined at the start of the season, based on how they've performed and how long they've been performing at that level.Agree with all except bold.In my experience those teams set to auto pick (either when player is not online or has chosen to set it so that the draft auto picks a player) will pick the player within a few seconds, so it moves the picks on quickly. I've been in drafts when it gets to round 10 onwards and most players are set to auto pick it can speed the whole process up.90 seconds will be plenty, the only issue will be if you're draft client runs slow due to Internet speed or device speed you're using.

Posh Ram Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I'm Rivers Deep Melvin High. Considering putting Philip Rivers and Melvin Gordon as my QB and RB, just for novelty value (I also think they'll do well this year now that the Chargers have a good offensive line).
