Improve auto draft
There was a person in my league that was forced to miss most of her picks because she has 4 little kids that were keeping her up. Auto draft drafted 5 QBs in a 1 QB league. With one of those QBs being Jimmy Goropolo. Now her season is pretty much done unless she gets lucky picking up players on the waiver wire or trades. Auto draft needs to do a much better job at actually getting players a person needs.

Hi Ryan,
Situations when autopick is used
- The league you've joined is set to use Autopick Draft.
- Any time a manager does not pick a player when it's their draft turn.
- If a manager does not attend the draft or leaves the draft before it's over.
- If a Private League using head-to-head scoring has an odd number of managers 1 hour before the draft, a live draft will force-change to autopick because head-to-head only supports an even number of managers. The commish then needs to either switch to another scoring method or get an even number of managers and reset the draft.
Details on how autopick selects players
- All starter positions are filled before bench positions.
- You can't designate which round a player is picked or a position is filled.
- Each round, autopick drafts the highest-ranked (pre-rank, then default rank) available player based on your position needs. The system determines a max number of players to positions ratio, including bench, so that your roster positions are balanced.
