Is there any chance at all you would consider not autodrafting? I know setting a time might be tricky but I'm soooooo bad at setting things up for an autodraft and always end up missing some key pieces.

We did discuss the possibility, but I don't think there's any way to coordinate the GMs we have all over the world to draft at the same time.

I understand the angst of not being sure of picking the players you absolutely want in an autopick draft. I have those anxieties, too! And even in a live draft, you don't often wind up with the guys you exactly want (or, as has happened to me, you panic and get a guy you want, but then wind up missing out on others you really need!).

One thing I like about autodrafting, is that it adds an element of uncertainty that allows for learning more about players you might not be familiar with. With the size of our leagues, we will all wind up with very good players, and if there are some we really don't like, there will be a lot of excellent free agents available, or we can explore trades.

Is there any other info or draft strategies that I could give you that will help in setting up your list? I feel like we've not covered everything about it, and I'm happy to offer any assistance I can to help you feel more confident in the autodraft process.
