I can answer this one!
We use StatsPlus and that gives us the ability to have a timer. The GMs can set lists as well. We split our draft into two parts - the Stats+ part takes place in our "January" of each season, so the draftees' most recent season's stats haven't been revealed yet. This is just for a bit of an added challenge - many of the GMs (including our esteemed Cougars' GM) have become very skilled at identifying great prospects even in a stats-only universe.
The January phase covers the first 10 rounds and players are not drafted inside the game til June when the remaining 15 rounds are done in-game. GMs can use the draft list capability inside OOTP to make their lists for the final 15 rounds (some do, most don't and just let the AI pick).
After that's completed the players need to be signed and they usually are with their organization in time for the start of our Class D (rookie league level) start in early July, although some are more capable and can debut higher up the chain, including in some rare cases, directly in FABL itself.
