[div align=\\\"center\\\"]Norfolk Seawolves Draft Review[/div]
I thought it'd be fun to write an amateur draft analysis on my new mates the Norfolk Seawolves. I think we have a great shot at going all the way this year with a great mix of enthusiastic young talent and sim veterans. I won't go through every single pick since I don't know enough to make any meaningful commentary on the later later rounds.
6. Thubba Bumper - CB
The first piece of what looks like an incredible secondary unit. He's a fellow named Bauer that I'm sure many of you know even though I'm just meeting him myself. I don't really know him yet, but what I do know is that he already has 119 TPE and 80 speed. This is a great pick by the Seawolves, Thubba is going to be one of if not the absolute best corners in the league.
10. Magnus Rikiya - DT
This player's going to be a monster. They've already got a bunch of media out, they're out here doing the PTs, getting tier 6 equipment right out the gate. They're going to get to quarterbacks, and more pressure means qbs will be getting scared and throwing stupid balls for the hawks in the secondary to bring down. At a staggering 139 TPE this player is going to be playing ball right out of the gate. On top of that I've spoken to Tesla in the chat a good deal and she seems like an excellent encouraging dude. Absolute steal getting talent and locker room presence in this pick.
14. Matt Cross - S
Matt Bauer Cross definitely has what it takes to be a standout safety. He's already got 115 TPE and he's got a fantastic attitude. He's also our second Bauer which will probably get us another win or two when all is said and done. He's done some media I really enjoyed as well, just all around excited to have this guy next to me in coverage.
30. Kevin Koh - WR
I'll admit I don't know a ton about Koh's user Coterminity but I did talk to him some in the discord and he seems like a good guy. Kevin also had a great showing in the prospect bowl. I know realistically that doesn't matter but after his 22 yard touchdown catch late in the final the simulated engravers started working on the simulated preseason trophy. He's got 110 TPE, he's gonna be great.
38. Wesley Eriksen - S
This is my player. I'm not gonna gush about being a great pick but I do think I'll be able to contribute in a secondary that has a lot of talent. He's got 101 TPE and seems pretty on top of writing media and whatnot. I think the wolves got a steal with this one.
54. Luke Skywalker - QB
I don't really know how to rate this one yet, I don't know enough about QB TPE in the sim. That being said, his name is Luke Skywalker and that's pretty sweet, huh. He's got 118 TPE, distributed pretty evenly for a pocket passer. I don't necessarily know if he'll be a top tier qb, but I think he can easily be a reliable enough guy in a run first system.
62. Sam Sidekick
If nothing else this draft class killed it with the names. I'm a sucker for alliteration. He's a kicker, nuff said
Okay that last entry made me realize I don't have much else to say, so I'll summarize the rest:
70. Jack Banks - Don't know him much but he's gotten more active in the discord, so time will tell.
78. Spike Suzuki - I don't know him but his name makes me think of Cowboy Bebop, so there's upside.
86. Godrick Fullstrom - This name sounds like he writes heavy fiction novels, so I fuck with that.
88. Brayden Brosley - Think this guy might be a good late bloomer, time will tell.
110. Loin Stake - excellent name. His username is also Chunk. I need this guy to be active, please Chunk please.
118. Suleiman Ramza - QB
I've talked to this user Blasoon a good deal on discord and we support the same football club so I want him to do well. He's a bit of a late bloomer TPE wise, at 91 right now as far as I can tell. I think he'll do well if he's fine with being a clear no. 2 for the time being. Hope he stays on he seems like a good dude.
So there it is, my expert draft analysis. There were a bunch more picks, but Ramza was the last guy off the board I recognized, so I called it there. The seawolves have done an excellent job plugging their holes and bring on fresh talent. I think this defense can evolve into an ironclad unit and new offensive pieces like Koh and Skywalker can augment a top tier run game. And that right there is a championship winning combination.
