Fantasy drafts don't make sense right now

I joined someone else's fantasy draft and days later they just started the draft in the middle of the night and I awoke to an awful roster that I didn't pick. Why not just allow players to queue with whoever they want to play with and then match players for a draft that happens right then instead of whenever the group leader decides to have the draft? You can't even communicate with the rest of the room to figure out a good time to draft. This format makes zero sense.
