    Most auction mock drafts include at least one (some several) computer players. Part of the reason is that there's so much time between each mock draft's start time (up to 15 minutes), which means that if I sign up to mock draft right now, ten minutes from now I may have forgotten or be doing something else, and my team goes on autodraft.

    Here's the problem with the autodraft: IT IS WAAAAAAY TOO AGGRESSIVE ... especially early on.

    The top 10-20 players go for a lot more than what they'd go for if humans were drafting. Sometimes the top players go for $70-75 on the high end (almost NEVER happens in real life) or mid-high 60's on the low end - still high, but closer to reality.

    Consequently, when I do mock drafts, I almost never end up with any of these high end players (and neither do most of the other human players), and if a mock draft isn't realistic, it defeats its purpose.

    The second consequence is that the autodraft players will usually end up blowing most of their budget on 2-3 top end players, and not have much money to use for the rest of the draft. Again, THIS is also unrealistic.

    What ends up happening is that in my mock drafts, I get none of the top players, but I get unrealistically great deals on the middle-late round players.

    Please look into fixing this glitch - it's not difficult to fix. All you have to do is to program some variance into the decisions of the autodraft bots, and most importantly, lower their bid amounts. If a player goes for $42 on average, the bot should not be bidding up the price to $55. Max them out at the average bid, or maybe a couple of dollars above that. Or - to make it more realistic - their maximum bid can depend on their particular need for a player. If they don't have any RB's, and the RB market is running dry, increase their max bids.
