Where do the current rankings for the Auto Pick come from?
It seems like the current rankings aren't consistent with how players really draft. One of the biggest problems is that QB's are frequently ranked much higher than they would be ranked by informed FF players.
The current rankings are also not consistent with the rankings made by the Fanhouse "experts"...aren't you all controlled by AOL?
The best solution might be to rely on an external service mockdraftcentral.com and use there real world (or close to it) rankings for a scoring system that is similar to fleaflickers standard scoring system.
I really like the idea of using a 3rd party. MockDraftCentral is good. I like Fantasy Football Nerd better though. More comprehensive and you can see the rankings for more than 1,000 players regardless of position (or by position if you want to see it that way). It's free and they have an API.

How difficult would that be?
