Right now I am part of a dynasty draft in a 12 person league. Each draft pick is 12 hours long (due to people being in different time zones and such). So far it is going really well. Trades are being made via draft picks and players and with the 12 hours per pick the pressure of choosing someone within the 90 seconds allotted doesn't exist. It is a relaxing and more strategic draft which I am finding to be far more enjoyable than a typical fantasy draft.
I think what separates this draft from others is strategy. Being a dynasty league means that you maintain the same players from year to year with a rookie draft being held before each season. This means that retirement is a major factor in choosing a player which has already led to big time fantasy players falling; Tom Brady and Peyton Manning specifically come to mind. The dynasty league also makes the draft feel like a fantasy draft in Madden (which was one of my favorite parts of the game) but better because the trades are more fluid/exciting and you are playing against other humans and not a CPU. It's really more like an actual NFL draft combined with fantasy football, you choose the team that will be great for years to come.
We are currently in the 5th round after several days of drafting and I will post my team's results once it is finished (in a week or so).
