As someone who does put some time and effort into the draft, I'm a little irritated by a handful of GMs handing off their draft to another GM to run for them. I wouldn't have a problem with this if the GM was handing them a list to go off of and trusting their judgement if something went awry. But the trend of "Eh...I don't want to so you do it" is growing more every year.
A simple suggestion: If you can't be at the draft - send a list or take the highest peak. If you want to send a list to another GM or DJ - that's fine too.
Here are the five options I'd like to see:
1) Be there!
2) Send DJ a list
3) Send another GM a list
4) Take the highest peak as auto-draft
5) Trade out
It's just irritating to put a lot of work in and then have some great drafters here pick 3-4 times the normal amount because they're doing someone a favor. Obviously some circumstances make that ok, but it's become a pattern now every draft.
As Much as I would like to be there to draft my own players to my preferences, I work most nights.
Sorry, but feeding my kids takes precedence over Mogul, at least until Mogul hires me full-time to play its games.
I have sent lists in the past and will continue to do so, making every effort to help my team.
