We have an ESPN league where we were going to do a live draft, but one person has to autodraft. Is there a way to do this through ESPN, where everyone drafts live and when it comes time for the last person, the computer picks for them?

Happens all the time. He should pre-rank his players to his liking before the draft though.

When you say live draft, do you mean online live draft or offline live draft? Big difference. If you're talking online, then absolutely. It will default to autodraft if the player doesn't log in.

If you mean offline, then I'm not sure. But you could easily simulate it by selecting the top rated player left on the board each round for that team.

Yea this was a very poorly worded question. We have a ten person league and planned to all get together in one room to draft. The plan was to have one computer hooked up to the big screen that would enter all the info, but one person will be auto drafting now. I didn't know if we could manually enter nine picks then have ESPN pick the tenth for us somehow without having to get everyone their own computer.

Just pick the best ranked player at the time of each pick for the person not in attendance.
