ive been using them for years for baseball and footbal.. and did one already this year but they are no fun because nobody is in them and ther rankings for hockey are terrible... i think i got luongo in the 10th round..
Im sure most of you may know but you can do endless live mock drafts at espn.
The thing that sucks is unless you get a decent number people participating it does autopick and the draft is a little unrealistic. Oh and you have to sign up for an account but thats free.
Still..its kinda fun and can waste some time.

10 is late but I know what you mean...I think i had 8 or 9 people in one of mine yesterday. Its hit or miss. I\'m getting impatient waiting for the season so its a small filler for me...just thought I\'d mention it.
I do the cbssportsline mock draft and it\'s pretty dumb. In theory it\'s a good idea but it\'s horribly executed. The auto-picks are ******ed. I mean, Brent Johnson keeps going fourth overall in EVERY DRAFT I do for God\'s sake!:laugh: I even did a draft where I got Crosby, Ovechkin & Luongo in the first 3 rounds. After that I said screw it. It\'s impossible to practice when the thing is so unrealistic. And If you\'re actually lucky enough to get real people to partake in the draft with you, you can rest assured that they\'re gonna ditch the draft by round 3 the latest.
Dobber you should get that program and run it here. Every draft would be fun and full. And expert\'s could get in and give reasoning on why they took players they did. There is all kinds of depth in that.
