Drafting is tricky work. It takes a bunch of practice. Would they let you into a slightly slower group first until you are confident?
The only other option would be to get a bungy lasso and hook it up to the guy in front so he doesn't get away ;-)

It's been a least a year since I've ridden in a fast bunch. My ego wouldn't let me ride in the slowest group (which soon backfired). I'd be better off intercepting them on my TT bike like a freaking Tomahawk cruise missile. I'm much happier on the trusty aero bars :D
