Why do we need 10 players? How about we start with 7 players or 8 if Tazz is interested in playing? The teams would be much stronger, hence we'd have more fun building the rosters/talking about them. We could do 3 rounds per day for a total of 12 or 15 rounds.
Not to mention, if we set a starting date, it's possible that more people will actually join the game as we discuss about the upcoming draft.
