Speaking for myself, it would have been helpful to have had a clearer sense of what to look at and what not to waste my time on early on.   I got a solid reality check from Stewart Bryant about this midway through my first year, but it took well into my second year to really figure out which drafts to review closely and which to skim.   However, I think it's worth having ADs skim drafts so that they can notice cross-area issues, and for that to work they either have to be able to ballot, or else they have to use peer pressure.   I think being able to ballot is probably better.
