S48 is almost ready to start, and the Prospect Bowl is heating up. Tonight is the first matchup of the newest rookie class. So let’s take a look at the Rookies!
First, an overall view of the class:
OL - 9
RB - 9
WR - 9
CB - 8
TE - 6
DE - 5
K/P - 5
DT - 4
LB - 4
QB - 3
S - 2
That’s a lot of Lineman! This class looks like it’s going to have its fair share of skill positions along with those battling in the trenches. Fairly balanced class overall.
Now, maybe we dig a little deeper into the Archetypes:
CB-Cover Corner: 5
CB-Physical Corner: 3
DE-Power Rusher: 3
DE-Speed Rusher: 2
DT-Interior Rusher: 2
DT-Nose Tackle: 2
K/P-Accurate: 1
K/P-Power: 4
LB-Pass Rusher: 2
LB-Versatile LB: 2
OL-Athletic Lineman: 3
OL-Balanced Lineman: 2
OL-Mauler: 4
QB-Gunslinger: 1
QB-Pocket Passer: 1
QB-Scrambler: 1
RB-Power Back: 1
RB-Receiving Back: 3
RB-Speed Back: 5
S-Center Fielder: 1
S-Enforcer: 1
TE-Blocking TE: 2
TE-Possession TE: 3
TE-Vertical Threat: 1
WR-Possession Receiver: 2
WR-Slot Receiver: 4
WR-Speed Receiver: 3
Every position has a fairly good mix of different types involved with it. I think it’s safe to say that this years DSFL teams will have their pick of drafting whatever they think their team needs, down to the specific Archetype they think is better for their plans.
Boring draft class counts aside, let’s look at the teams! Obviously the teams are completely balanced at a position and archetype level, otherwise it wouldn’t be a fair game now would it (regardless of how much I was bribing the HO to put their finger on the scale…..). So instead, we need to look at the players themselves to tip the balance.
First for the Cancun Corals:
- You have Benny the Jet, who you would think was a speed receiver but is a slot receiver, so maybe an attempt to trick the cornerback?
- Duke Silver-back who sounds like he might very well be a gorilla and playing DT
- Frosty Steele the linebacker who sounds like a gatorade flavor
- Hot Dam, who really is just a Bruno Mars song response. We all agree to that right?
- Joe Blaze who sounds like a C level comic book hero
- Kool Kyle the running back who for sure didn’t eat crayons in school. Right? Either that, or has strong youth pastor with a guitar vibes
- Richard Johnson…..we all see it. Every one of you know.
- William Eaton who was probably a running back out of Yale or Warton or something.
- Last and probably the most important, Bazooka Nuttingham who is a literal squirrel. I’ll be honest, I’m most worried about him. Squirrel at RB is bad ass and I won’t hear otherwise.
Now, the Hanoi Humpbacks:
-Bauce McSauce a WR who definitely come from Ole Miss or Alabama
-Billdozer Dauterive whose parents were being a little too clever, but since he turned out to be a LB, might have been right on the nose
-Cage Beers who I can only picture as Ron Lester from Varsity Blues
-D’Squarius Green Jr. the self-proclaimed shit poster king from the class(we all agree and support him)
-Darius Fasttrack as another WR who looks like they are trying to trick the defense into thinking they are speedy, but is realy a slot guy
-Harvin Marrison who is definitely not the guy you are thinking of, he’s totally some other guy, come on, don’t you see the mustache?
-Ralph Johnson XXVI who is secretly the Prince of Fantasia or some other little European country you’ve never heard of
-Snoop Hogg who is an actual speed receiver but who you are going to immediately picture as the guy chilling on the bench with a giant….water bottle.
-Sweet Sweet Ganjasmoke who was definitely roommates with Snoop in college
Who will win? Well obviously it will be the Humpbacks because they also have RUS-KCKR-001, the Robot Kicker. Nothing beats robots, everyone, nothing.
And that’s what we get for your prospect bowl preview. Tune in for the 3 games to watch the slowest looking game you’ll see all year, as a bunch of guys all fight for draft position only to be asked to change their positions once they land on their new team!
