Useful tool for your non-keeper drafts

I discovered ESPN's mock draft feature yesterday. If you have an ESPN ID, you can go in and draft to your heart's delight. Unfortunately, you have to be lucky to get at least 7 live bodies doing the drafting. The slots fill up quickly 30 min beforehand, but there's always 2-4 who bother not to show up. That said, it's a fun 30-to-45 min diversion and you can see how long you expect your targeted "sleepers" to usually last. Most people there presently are diehard fantasy geeks, as it's still far away from actual drafting season. If you are really hardcore among the hardcore, you can do mock auction drafts.

Well, Kevin is pretty good about signing his name at the bottom of his comments. You can tell PJ's posts by their fractured grammar. Donny's you can tell by the obscenities.
