If it's a redraft or keeper league, then it's good to draft just a week or two before the season starts. That way you are less likely to draft a player who gets injured in the preseason, and you have a better sense of what the NFL teams have in mind for their players in the upcoming season. We are going to draft on September 6th in one of my leagues. The NFL's regular season starts on Thursday, September 10th.
If it's dynasty, then I can't comment as I've never played dynasty.

Hey guys. I am just starting a league in the next week or two and I am looking for advice on when to hold the startup draft?
Thanks.
