I think it would be a good idea to make the draft sorta like the NFL. A team gets a time clock of 5 or 8 hours (up to mike) to make thier pick. At the end of that time if they have not selected a player yet, the team behind them gets the oppotunity to jump ahead of them and make their pick. I think this would force people to be more active on the draft becuase the way it is now even if they missed the time limit they still get autopicked and they still end up with the best player avaible. Just an idea to make it move a bit faster.

Im not sure you can move a team up in the draft. The team has to pick to move to the next selection.

I mean the really draft is not to june first soo we jsut move on and make a list soo when ever that person makes a pick he has to pick who is still on the bored. No need for atuo picks.

I am all for ANYTHING that speeds up the draft process.

I actually prefer off-season drafts...but that's me..
anyway, in the GABL...I enforce 6 hours for Round 1, 4 hours for round 2, 2 hours for Round 3...If auto'd in any round, the time is cut in half in the following round, or auto'd altogether in Round 3... Teams should be encouraged to send in a 3-5 man list just to keep things moving.

and it would be difficult to move ahead and whatnot---just keep it straight and simple...but FAST

I suggested the moving up like in the NFL so that team picking has an urgency of making their picks> but it was just an idea. whatever works

I like this idea I was talking to Chris about it earlier in the day.

that nfl way works, people should get 5 or 6 hours I think. Lets try 6 hours, then the next guy can pick.
