Honestly as a relative newbie the biggest struggle comes about midway through a draft. The data sources and their relative value is not well discussed, so you're left largely relying on previous draft orders to determine relative value. this leads to compounding "mistakes" in certain players, but also it's just really hard to have the necessary knowledge against people that have done this dozens of times.
I think the solution - to the extent it's a problem to be solved - is some more offseason chatter about the players maybe and more strategy discussion?
While I'm glad that the group ended up trusting me enough not to require a co-GM, I'm kind of wishing now that I'd had one to ease the growing pains. It probably would have helped my frustration to have someone to talk my thoughts out with in detail. If it were an all the time thing, even better.
