Our fantasy crew got together for an eight-team, PPR mock draft, and this time we included a wrinkle, setting one team to autopick.

As you can see with the draft results below, it's still possible to draft a solid team even if you're unable to attend the draft in real time. All you have to do is set your draft to autopick.

One note, though: Be sure to click "Edit Draft Strategy" on your team page before the draft, then click on "AutoPick Strategy" to designate how many players you want selected at every position. Otherwise, you could end up drafting too many players at one position, as happened in this mock with Team Autopick selecting three QBs.

Below, you can look at how our latest mock played out round by round, as well as how each team's final roster looked when all was said and done.
