The Fantasy Games team at ESPN.com rolled out a pretty cool feature this year that allows users to run mock drafts using the actual draft application used in ESPN’s Fantasy Football game. The link is on the fantasy front page and it’s called “Mock Draft Lobby.”
The Mock Draft Lobby allows you to simulate an entire draft without having to do it with your actual league. After all, you don’t really want to draft with your actual league because you don’t want to give away any secrets. The Mock Draft Lobby allows you to start a mock draft within 10 minutes. You can draft with anywhere from 1 to 12 players, so you don’t even need a full room. The missing players will autopick using ESPN.com’s default player list. Of course, we’ve had pretty decent usage of the application, so many of the drafts during the day are full.
When you’re done the draft, the system even emails you with the result of the draft. Try it with a number of different people and you can get an idea of how people are valuing different positions.
It’s also a nice way to preview ESPN.com’s very slick live draft client. If you’re looking for a place to try out draft strategy, this might be the best way to do it.

[...] Draftniks unite! So, over on Fatmixx, Sujal posted about the fantasy football mock draft tool that he and I used last week. I was really impressed. It was easy to use, and openly available to anyone who wanted in. If I had one complaint, it would be that it was a little slow. Not terribly so, and certainly not prohibitively so, but a little slow. [...]
