I have done a few searches for a method to allow our league admin to run our draft online, but I have been unable to find anything close. On the flip side, we have never used such a utility so I do not even know if it is possible. I suspect it is because I see links to secure pages on some of the larger FOF websites.

We are a small league and the majority of teams are computer controlled.

Any tips or suggestions for me? I appreciate the help!

They exist but it will be a pain to do it with a lot of AI controlled teams. If you've got less than 25 human controlled teams, then you're better finishing FA then doing via a message board tbh.

For my 5-owner office league, we just use IM. As mm points out, your problem is that you need to let the game select for the AI controlled teams, so you need to have manual commissioner intervention at many points along the trail. Most of the online utilities are to speed up drafting among 32 human owners, some of whom are guaranteed to be unavailable for stretches during the draft.

For a league with just a few human owners, e-mail / chat should work just fine.

Note that use of DraftAnalyzer can help you manage, as the commish can send out a text file with the drafted players as picks are made to help people know who has and has not been picked.
