I'm in the middle of a "slow draft". I have the next pick after this one. I have two players that I will happily take. I have come back to the site every couple of hours hoping that the previous person has picked. If he waits too much longer, I may not have another chance tonight and possibly will not have another chance for almost 24 hours (later tomorrow afternoon).
If FleaFlicker had a pre-draft queue, I could load my two players in and as soon as the current pick is made, mine would execute and keep the draft moving without having to potentially wait 15 or 20 hours for a pick that I have already "selected" now.
That is a great idea! We do hope to add this type of feature to the email draft in the future. For now, some owners send the commish their top picks in the event they are offline when their pick comes up. Thanks for reaching out to us with this suggestion!
Thanks for being so open to ideas and quick to reply! :)
Sending info to the commish certainly could help, but there are many who would not feel comfortable sharing their picks with a commish - particularly if he/she picked before they did. It could also put an unreasonable burden on the commish if lots of owners took to doing that! Yikes! :)
One clarification to this idea. There should be a queue for each remaining pick in a draft.
Let's say I have pick 1.03 and pick 1.09. With my 1.03, I want the opportunity to try to trade down - I do NOT want to autodraft. However, with the 1.08, I have decided that I WILL pick my player and there are up to 5 that I will put in the queue. So I do NOT want to use the pre-draft queue for 1.03 but I am prepared to do so for 1.08.
Or perhaps at the tail-end of the draft, I have a list of players that if they are available, I want as my LAST pick. I could stock that now without having to stock every pick in-between.
