The way I understand it is that
1 - It will look at your open positions and look at player rankings
2 - Where ever you have the highest ranked player for an open position, that is who it will talke.

This is also from Yahoo...

"Unfortunately, it isn't possible to designate which positions are drafted in which rounds in an autopick draft.

For example, it isn't possible to tell our autopick system to draft a running back in the first two rounds, a quarterback in the third round and a wide receiver in the fourth round.

Each round, the autopick system selects your highest-ranked available player, assuming there's an open starting roster position for that player."

Here is a link to the draft help section on Yahoo. It should be able to answer any questions anyone has.

I found this...

QuoteHow is the draft order determined?

Draft order for Public Leagues is determined randomly approximately 30 to 60 minutes prior to the beginning of the draft.

Commissioners of Custom Leagues can specify the order of the draft in their league by:

•Clicking the "Commissioner Tools" link on the league home page.
OR

•Choosing the "Edit Draft Order" tool.
If a Custom League Commissioner has customized the draft order, the order reverts to the default draft order if a team enters or exits the league.

The draft order in Custom Leagues cannot be randomized by the commissioner. If no customization is done, Yahoo! Sports randomizes the draft order 30 to 60 minutes prior to the draft.

For either type of league, the draft order wraps around (i.e., if you have the first pick in the first round, you have the last pick in the second round, first pick in the third round, and so on). You can click the "Draft Results" link from your league home page to view the draft order of your league.

That is referring to the drafting order for each team. The way the league is setup it will be random, and then will follow a snaking order, which is the wrapping it describes above. So if you get the 14th pick in round 1, you get the 15th pick in round 2. This doesn't have anything to do with the players drafted for your team though, just when in each round you will get to pick.

Someone who was on the list for the leauge still hasn't signed up. I don't know who hasn't, but we need that last person to be able to draft this coming weekend. If you are having problems with signing up, or no longer want to do it, let me know so we can get the league filled out.

It's me.  I haven't gotten around to it but I plan to early this week.

Satisfied with your draft?  I had a problem logging in... I had been in for a few hours and participated in a couple mock drafts to test things out... all worked well... until the live draft.  Somehow I didn't get in until after my first pick was made automatically.  Needless to say my intent was to pick someone else ::).  Made another mistake later on... was queueing up my picks and had one guy highlighted while I meant to draft another... I guess it all worked out... Ya never know until the season starts and guys get hurt or someone nobody has heard of becomes a star...

Good luck! :)

I didn't have any problems with the draft last night, but I did have some issues like that when doing the mock drafts. A lot of times I would have to close the app that launched and reload it into my browser. It didn't display as well like that, but it worked.

I reached on Spiller, but other than that I was happy.

I think Lake needs to create his slogan on the league to reflect his opinion on taking Roethlisberger.

You gotta love a qb that will not be denied!

For some reason my pre-draft rankings didn't take  :-\

My team isn't terrible and with a couple moves I should be upgraded to unstoppable. :o

It may be listed somewhere and I'm just missing it but can we get a list of teams and who (MJ name) they belong to... for trash talking reasons.  :-*
And though I long to embrace, I will not replace my priorities: humour, opinion, a sense of compassion, creativity and a distaste for fashion.
