Drafts - Custom mock drafts/Mock drafts to match league settings
These new mock drafts would allow you to customize the settings for a mock draft or have set the mock draft to match one of your league's settings. Currently we only offer the default settings for mock drafts.

There is only a very few sites that offer PPR Mock Drafts. This would greatly benefit my experience.

I couldn't agree more. You don't know how many times I've thought the same thing. Not having the league-type specified renders all mock drafts useless and inaccurate.

Totally disagree on this one. 90 seconds is a good amount of time. Occasionally you get stuck because the draft falls in a way you don't anticipate and you need to make some quick decisions and re-evaluate your plan.
I agree that some drafts are achingly slow when a particular team isn't present, but maybe Yahoo could default the user to 'auto pick' after two consecutive selections that 'time out' and default to the highest ranked player.

I agree to make the time get shorter if the person either drops out of the draft room or is just taking way too much time for all of the picks, it makes it slow way down. They seem to enjoy just taking way too much time like they just have no idea how to draft when you can join a mock draft and even tweak your own rank for players.

All my leagues play 3WR.. There is way too much depth not to have 3WR.. Flex sucks and should be kept for fun/no money leagues.

This is just common sense.

I don't think I've ever played in a league that had 3 WR seats and I've been playing for at least 5 years. Although in my flex spot I sometimes start a WR or TE (in one league they allow an extra TE to be played as flex).. although not very sucessful haha

The time should definitely be reduced once the auto select feature has been used a couple of times to select picks e.g. if an individual allows 2 consecutive auto picks change the timer to 30 secs. 60 secs should be fine for all other picks

Also a 2rb/3wr vs 2rb/2wr/1flex draft. Maybe combine the flex with the PPR.

I agree, PPR and IDP mocks would be more fun than always standard. NFL.com does both of those and they are more fun than yahoo.

I think thos people are testing out their pr-order draft ranking/auto pick. But in those cases the auto pick should pick and move to the next player. but it might give them time to pick on their own, who knows.

I agree. Perhaps 90 seconds in the first 5-7 rounds, 60 seconds after that. Something like that.

I agree, or at least have it start within 60 seconds of it becoming full. There are instances when I've joined a draft at an expected draft position (#5) and because the screen shifted, I get allocated #6 and have to back out. So there needs to be some time delay to allow for stuff like that. People joining a 10 team league instead of 12 etc. But after a time frame, and if the draft is full, by all means start it. Why wait an additional 8 minutes or so.

I agree in a PPR format Mock Draft, the strategies are really different and mixing with Standard drafters doesn't truly provide a good ball park assessment. However, reading some of the comments below (or above?) 2 QB or 17 player rosters or other customizations are probably making this way too specific and is probably not practical.
