Sounds as though you'd really enjoy a "speed draft" Davy. Every so often one of these gets organized... where you rip off 8-10 rounds in an evening, then load your team for a frenzy at midnight.
Unfortunately, a "live draft" doesn't neccessarily corelate into a fast draft. Patience isn't one of my virtues either, so I've learned to not constantly monitor the draft... I just check back in every few hours or so to see if I'm close to making my pick.
As for proxies, I'm all for setting proxies to help keep the draft moving, but you have to realize that this tool can only go so far. I find that if you're only a few picks away from your selection, then setting a proxy is quite practicle. However, if you're a long way off before you pick again, you really need to see how the draft is progressing before making a sound pick (say there's a run on a particular position or something).
Anyways, we should just plan on this league not starting until July 7... hopefully. Can we all agree that this will be our target date?
