I like to set the auto also. Lately it has picked over 60 percent of my players. Resulting in slow or weak players but they boom/bust the same. Also, a correctly set auto will give you a quick glance of the postions in need and the highly rated players available there. When time is limited I pick from ...the auto.
it is about the play style you apply. My current game plan that I use/used in all of my leagues does not fit with many of my auto draft picks, but why not change the gameplans?
At least for that 60 speed 2nd round RB mentioned earlier. ..I see it harder with that player only because he would do nice as a 3rd down or receiving back and here there are no screen passes and limited draws/delays.
Still the auto has some value...
