    If you vote no, suggest a better time.

    Okay so you're 5 hours behind us... 10 Eastern doesn't work for me, but I doubt how any time would work for me, so how does the auto draft thing work?

    it works great. You can rank all the players based on how good you think they will be this year. Then it will do the draft for you based on your ranking. Like say you don't wanna risk drafting a player because they get hurt a lot... you can take them right out of your rankings so the computer doesn't pick them for you.

    there's also the option of doing a draft on here. we probably have enough time if we start now.

    Sweet I'll do that then. Is this one of the ones where you just pick the one defense?

    First off, this will help everyone out... Secondly, I have school from 9AM-1PM... I get home around 2PM. Anytime after 2PM till like 10PM will work for me. I am in Illinois, so that is Central Standard Time. (2PM-10PM CST) (3PM-11PM for EST) (12 NOON-8PM PST)

    10CST (11EST) would work depending on how long the draft is... Does it take an hour or longer?

    any time on that day works for me.

    and espn does have a pretty decent preranking system. you can prerank players obviously but if it's the same as it was last year, you can also tell it specific positions you want it to take with each pick. like you can set it to only take a qb in the 1st round and then take rb/wr in the next two or however you want it set up. and after preranking but before the real draft, you can run mock drafts(and can even just turn on autodraft and leave and you'll get emailed the results once it finishes) to see what a team based on your rankings will end up looking like.
