Also, this is something I came up with on GBA. Let's face it. As nice as we want to be about saying "you have the right to wait to pick until Sunday night", that's not truly how we all feel. We want to see the draft get some picks in before the live portion. It's tough to come up with a viable time clock, but asking people to check back in every 24 hours is not much to ask. While it wouldn't guarantee many picks, it would guarantee some and it would allow for things to move along when we do get a run on picks and then are stuck with no course of action.
DRAFT RULES
1. The Draft Clock starts at 10 PM ET the day Sim #4 is posted. GMs will have 24 hours to make their selection.
2. When a GM makes their selection, they need to PM the next GM that is on the clock.

3. As soon as a GM makes their selection, the next 24 hour clock starts.
4. If a GM fails to make their pick before their 24 clock expires, the next team(s) in line can start making their picks.
This is like the NFL Draft rules. Think back to 2003 when Minnesota (#7 pick) failed to pick their pick/trade before the time clock ran out. Jacksonville (#8) rushed in and selected Byron Leftwich, Carolina (#9) got their pick in of Jordan Gross, and then Minnesota finally got theirs in with Kevin Williams before any other teams selected.
5. If a GM fails to make their pick within 48 hours, they will be auto-picked by AndyP.
At any point a GM fails to pick within their 24 hour clock, they can jump back in line and make their pick right away. If a GM fails to make their 48 hour clock, they can still select a player as long as s6x or mattynokes have not made the auto-selection yet.
