The reason why we draft from our phones is because drafting manually requires so much on demand time and few of us get that from a computer. The smart phone here is nothing more than an internet device that people have with them all the time.
Actually, I love Jim's original idea here and I don't think it's out of date. Utilities wouldn't be excluded this way and as long as FOF provides an easy way for utilities to get the information they need, the FOF MP experience will be extended in all sorts of great ways he never imagined. That's not a bad thing -- any game that is mod/utility-friendly offers this and it strengthens the game as well as the community.
I think Jim's idea will extend the FOF MP experience outside the super-dedicated community that exists and likes drafting manually. I think it will increase the MP userbase and that's only a good thing. There'll still be manual draft leagues but there can be more hands off leagues, too.
