No action is required for an auto-pick to happen, but you can customize which players are selected by setting your preferences.
In a live draft, if you haven’t manually selected a player by the time the clock reaches zero, an auto-pick will be made for you. The player selected depends on the parameters you’ve set. The auto-pick priority follows this order:
Player Queue: The first player in your queue will be chosen as your auto-pick.
Player Rankings: If your queue is empty, the next highest-ranked player from your personal rankings list who hasn’t been drafted will be selected.
Default ADP: If you haven’t set any rankings, the auto-pick will default to the next highest projected player (based on Average Draft Position) who remains undrafted.
If you’ve already reached the maximum number of players at a specific position, the auto-pick system may bypass the next player in your queue, rankings, or default ADP to select the highest-ranked available player at a position you still need.
