I don't really have an issue with my own team's draft picks.
I understand that if I fail to set the manual queue, or at least setup the auto queue, and therefore allow the Ai to make the decision about who to draft...an awful pick will be made.
There is no question about it.
If this happens, it's my own fault because I have had the entire early FA stage to get those two areas set up.
My issue is with Ai controlled teams. I don't recall the last time I saw an Ai controlled team make an even remotely decent draft pick. This puts whoever takes over the team in a big hole right from the start, and will probably lead to another owner not sticking around very long.
If you let the Ai make your draft pick, you are not taking the chance the pick will be bad, you are guaranteeing it.
