One of the teams I want to be an all-suck squad, the rest are human owned. And it seems annoying to have to cycle through each manager for every pick. Is there an easier way to draft without changing managers every pick?

Thanks in advance for any help.
I have never done such a league before, so this is just my guess...
Basically, I think below will be the way to do it.

1) You'd have to start it with using either historical database or one of the custom roster sets available on Mod section of the board.
2) Then you release all the players and dump them to the FA pool.
3) Re-structure the league to however you want it to be like, and rename them.
4) Do the initial draft.

* Team budgets as well as the market sizes will be determined based on who your team will pick in the draft. If you pick 10+ super stars (that is, if you can) your team budget will be like over 250 million dollars, and your team market size will be astronomical. Of course, this is all if you do not have the salary cap. You could change other financial settings around to control the league's financial structure. (ticket prices, media contract fee, luxury tax, average player salary based on players levels, etc)

* About the draft, you can go into the commish mode in the manager option page, and then should be able to pick players for all the teams in the league.
