Simulations times would suffer if we had every worlds draft class generated at the beginning of the season. In the best interest of having timely simulation results the unveiling of your world's draft class will not change.

If you did it for everybody, it would only effect the sim results once right?  This is something I really which you all could impliment, you have to generate them at some point messing up sim results right?

Having nearly all season allows you to go in for a few minutes a day and look at them and change them.  Rather than have to set aside a few "hours" to rank them. 

Of course if the draft is shortened to 10 rounds, this would be somewhat less of a factor. 

No means no. Move on.

Really, if you can't do it in a week, you can't do it in 2 weeks

Here's an issue I see with this suggestion:

The way it currently works, you have no idea of the quality and depth of the current season draft class until a week before the draft.  If a quality IFA shows up before then, you have to make a decision . . . do you go after on the IFA, or do you hold off in hoping for a deep draft class, where I might be able to get a comparable draftee for much cheaper?

If the draftees were unveiled at the beginning of the season, for instance, all the cards are already on the table.  The risk is lessened and it's easier for you to make a choice.  To me, that's dumbing down the game.  For all the complaints about the draft, having some unpredictability with respect to knowing the quality and depth of the draft class until a week before the draft is a good thing.

+1. I've missed ranking drafts because of time before, but this is more important.
