The other problem is that you need to have a pretty good league to do it. If you have 1/2 the league being dipshits about it, you can end up with some really lousy competitive balance problems.
They're the 'expert' setting for fantasy drafts, IMO. If you do the homework, you can do a damn good job of them (as I did 2 years ago in the CP draft). If you don't do the homework and decide "**** it, I'm getting Aaron Rodgers", you can end up with Beanie Wells as your #2 HB and just desperately waiting for the season to end.
There's a lot more risk for a really bad fantasy team.

Big yep here.
Two years ago in the CP league was my first auction draft...and it showed. My team struggled to make the playoffs.
Last year I had a better approach and philosophy, and I think I ended up winning the league, if memory serves. And the league as a whole was a lot more balanced.
