Auto.draft in terms of pre-ranking the positions to draft next from-not necessarily the players per se.Therem is already default rankings of players,but I will do some tweaking of those.

I currently have two NFL.com fantasy teams and here's the best strategy I can give you, in terms of creating a good team:
1) No matter what, always used your first two picks to get a RB because they produce better overall numbers than any other position in the NFL and will always be the one that makes or breaks the team.
2) Try to establish yourself by getting a WR and a QB by the third, fourth ,and fifth round because although the position is the deepest among the NFL, there is only one good QB that can pass and there has to be the go-to guy that get's the majority of the looks.
3) A good TE could still be avalible in the 7th round, if you don't land Gates or Shockey, so don't worry about the TE.
4) Although I don't recommend taking a defense/special team in the early rounds, there are still some consistent defense that are avalible if you feel that you filled out all your positional needs.
5) Kickers are not recommended to take in early rounds, but if there are still goood K around, take it.
6) The later rounds could still have some decent RB that could be early round draft picks next years, so take a flyer on that. The same could be said on decent QB and WR taking in the later rounds.
7) If you must, use your last three rounds on a backup TE, K, and defense because they could still make an impact and make good trade commodities in the end because let's face it (withhin exception to Tampa Bay, Baltimore, Chicago, Viniteri) most defense and kickers don't always stay consistent on a year-by-year basis, so another one-year stud like Rackers could still be around and emerge as the top kicker in the league.
8) Always have depth on your roster because of the pesky bye week and you don't want to be left high and dry without a positon player to replace come bye week.
9) Handcuff is the old practice, so make sure you know who the real life backup to your starting RB, because they could emerge in the benefit of injuries (just look at what happen to LJ when he replace Priest Holmes last season).
10) Always scower through the Free Agency because a fantasy stud could be right around the corner.
11) Never trust a rookie QB or WR to get the job done in the first year. Most rookie QB usually sit in the pine to learn the system then emerge in year two or three. Rookie WR could be a big stud or a big dud, so it could go either way.
12) The magic "third year" has been golden for WR entering their third year in the league. Look for those WR that is entering the third year because they could be the top WR come next year.
13) Have fun and talking smack is easier if your in first place.

If it's an automated draft, you don't really have a choice. The computer picks for you. The only way to influence who you may draft is to pre-rank your players and list the first 14 players, at least, as RBs. Then you would be guaranteed two RBs which is what you should do. The QB position is deep with no real difference between the 2nd QB to go all the way down to about the 6th QB (who will probably be taken in the 5th or sixth round). Don't burn an early pick on a QB.

Always go RB in the 1st two rounds. Although with an auto pick draft you may not get one. Just rank your players from best to worst and hope for the best.

Go with either a RB or WR - not QB.
Manning will already be gone, and there's not another worth taking before the 4th round (I usually wait till the 5th-7th round for a QB).
At #22 you could be looking at Marvin Harrison/Randy Moss or possibly Willis McGahee or Willie Parker - any would be good picks at that spot.

Go for another RB unless of course Peyton is available. There are plenty of decent QB's that will be around in the 3rd or 4th round even.

Go for another decent RB. They go real quick.
