The S22 DSFL Draft is in the rear-view mirror, and 78 new faces have been drafted into the DSFL. Nine of those 78 were drafted by the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers, fresh off a S21 Ultimini victory.
Myrtle Beach lost running back Dax Frost, tight end Heath Evans, offensive lineman Bruce Buckley, defensive end Troen Egghands, cornerbacks Rotticus Scott, Brandon Booker and Jonathan Altidor as well as safety Johnny Hellzapoppin to NSFL call-ups from their respective teams and this rookie class will be relied upon to help mitigate the effects of these losses.
The Bucs are aiming to make it to the Ultimini Bowl for a third season in a row, and if they're to do so then these nine players will be key to their success. So, let's meet your newest heroes/rivals/opponents, depending on your perspective.
Round 1, 8th Overall: Tyrone Woods
Congratulations on being drafted into the DSFL! How did it feel hearing your name called on draft night?
It felt great! Finally being apart of a team permanently, opposed to knowing i'm just a waiver pickup. It really was an awesome feeling.
Which team did you think would draft you? Were you surprised that Myrtle Beach was the team to pick you?
For those who don't know, I told every team to fuck off, I was pretty confident i'd be headed right back to where I wanted to play, and that's here with Myrtle Beach. With that being said, no i'm not surprised in the slightest.
You were picked with the final pick in the first round of the draft. How do you feel about that? Do you think you should have been picked higher?
Considering I was picked round 1 it doesn't really get much better than that. However, being the last pick in the 1st round there's definitely the thought that I could have gone higher. However, this is exactly where I wanted to be and being picked higher meant I wouldn't be a Buccaneer so I am happy with where I was picked.
What are you most looking forward to ahead of your rookie DSFL season?
Last season I really didn't get a chance to show everyone what I am capable of in the short time I was a Buccaneer. This time around I have a full season to prove my worth so i'm definitely looking forward to that.
Do you feel any pressure to live up to the standards of last season's Ultimini Champion Buccaneers team?
I mean considering I was also apart of the Ultimini run, I don't feel pressure i'm just tryna get a repeat and load up that trophy case ya feel.
What are your first impressions of the Buccaneers locker room? Have any players or coaches made a particular impression on you?
Again, I've been here for a while, but I love it here. I've made some great friends and it really has been a great time here. I think people get butthurt because they anus, and that's the only reason. #FreeJeff
Looking beyond this season, what do you hope to accomplish in your career?
I want to be the best at my craft when I make it to the NSFL. I am versatile enough to play MLB or EDGE, so no matter what position I play I want to be the best at it. I also want to make hella guap and be drafted high as a fuck you to every DSFL team I gave the stinky finger too.
Cory has me tied to a chair in his basement and I can only communicate through the team's discord. Could you please help me? I've been stuck down here for weeks.
Honestly not surprised, sounds like Cory. But yeah I got you bro no stress.
Pancakes or waffles?
Pancakes, but I like both tbh.
Your rookie contract is going to pay you five million dollars. What's the first purchase you're going to make? Something sensible or a fancy car?
Prolly some legal drugs.
The Myrtle Beach Buccaneers organisation would like to take this time to remind you that the views of its players do not reflect that of the organisation as a whole. Drug use, legal or otherwise, is not encouraged or endorsed by the Buccaneers.
Round 2, 16th Overall: L'Carpetron Dookmarriot
Congratulations on being drafted into the DSFL! How did it feel hearing your name called on draft night?
It was awesome, it was a bit of a surprise to go as high as I did but I'm stoked that it was to the team I wanted to be with all along. I enjoyed my DFA stint here and look forward to being a real Buccaneer moving forward
Which team did you think would draft you? Were you surprised that Myrtle Beach was the team to pick you?
I didn't have particularly extensive conversations with any team, only a couple that went beyond typical scouting questions. I had a hunch that maybe I'd end up going back to Myrtle Beach but had no way of knowing for sure.
You were picked in the second round of the draft. How do you feel about that? Do you think you should have been picked higher?
I had no idea where I was going to go, but I was kind of surprised it was that high honestly. I didn't really have a lot of expectations so it was really awesome to have this team believe in me enough to use that pick on me.
What are you most looking forward to ahead of your rookie DSFL season?
I'm looking forward to hitting the field for real this time. I got into a couple of games and won an Ultimini as a DFA, but now it's for real. I'm out to collect as much TPE as possible so I can hit the ground running.
Do you feel any pressure to live up to the standards of last season's Ultimini Champion Buccaneers team?
Pressure and expectations are good I think. We're all committed to the repeat and we know that it's more than just a possibility for us. All we can do is our best but I think we need to go into games with the confidence of being the team to beat.
What are your first impressions of the Buccaneers locker room? Have any players or coaches made a particular impression on you?
Everyone's been really awesome. I have to shout out jeffie, he's the one who got me started in the NSFL at all and I'm glad he helped give me the opportunity to come to MB as a DFA and later as a draft pick. It's a super active locker room with good humour, it's exactly what I want in a room.
Looking beyond this season, what do you hope to accomplish in your career?
I don't have a ton of personal expectations but I do think I can be a contributor to a winning team throughout my career. If I can do my best and be on a team that's succeeding, that's good enough for me. Obviously individual awards are great too but there's only one championship each season and that's the big prize.
Cory has me tied to a chair in his basement and I can only communicate through the team's discord. Could you please help me? I've been stuck down here for weeks.
What's in it for me? I don't really want to make waves just after the draft
Pancakes or waffles?
Pancakes unless you specifically want something a little bit more crunchy
Your rookie contract is going to pay you five million dollars. What's the first purchase you're going to make? Something sensible or a fancy car?
I already bought tier 6 equipment and am now a certified Speedy Boi . I don't need a car when I can just haul ass down the sidewalk.
Round 3, 24th Overall: Nicholas Ayers
Congratulations on being drafted into the DSFL! How did it feel hearing your name called on draft night?
Thank you so much! I am super happy and excited that I got drafted to this franchise. It was first great to hear my name, but then I realized i was drafted to this franchise, which only amped up my excitement!
Which team did you think would draft you? Were you surprised that Myrtle Beach was the team to pick you?
Honestly, I was expecting a call from Dallas or Minnesota, so I was super surprised to know that I got drafted by you guys!
You were picked in the third round of the draft. How do you feel about that? Do you think you should have been picked higher?
Frankly, that was around where I expected to go. I mean, everyone says that they would have wanted to go higher, but out of class, I feel that that was a great position for me.
What are you most looking forward to ahead of your rookie DSFL season?
I'm just looking to do my best and tear it up on the field.
Do you feel any pressure to live up to the standards of last season's Ultimini Champion Buccaneers team?
Frankly, I'm not super pressured by anything. I'm just happy to be here.
What are your first impressions of the Buccaneers locker room? Have any players or coaches made a particular impression on you?
When I joined this locker room and got to know everyone, I believed that I was in the best locker room in the DSFL. People like Warner, Rindiee, and Frost have all helped me express who I am as a person and make me feel comfortable here.
Looking beyond this season, what do you hope to accomplish in your career?
I hope to make my mark on the DSFL and also NSFL. I hope that people will look back and see me as one of the greats. But I'm not going to strive for that.
Cory has me tied to a chair in his basement and I can only communicate through the team's discord. Could you please help me? I've been stuck down here for weeks.
[REDACTED]
Pancakes or waffles?
Pancakes, duh.
Your rookie contract is going to pay you five million dollars. What's the first purchase you're going to make? Something sensible or a fancy car?
Well, first I'm going to be paying off my student loans, as well as my other families student loans. Then, I will be paying off my parent's house. Then I want a car lmao.
Round 4, 32nd Overall: Eugene Smoothie
Congratulations on being drafted into the DSFL! How did it feel hearing your name called on draft night?
I felt super pumped to hear my name at that pick. I had a feeling that it was possibility that I would be coming off the board but to hear so relatively early was surprising but very exciting to be so highly valued.
Which team did you think would draft you? Were you surprised that Myrtle Beach was the team to pick you?
Honestly, other than maybe Dallas Birddogs just because of need I didn't really have a sense with any other team and am not entirely surprised. Some teams only casually reached out so there wasn't a big opportunity to get to know the them or the team so as far as I was concerned, I surrounded by a bunch of strangers still. Not Myrtle Beach though. Aside from having a bit of familiarity in the locker room, getting a chance to interact with others really gave me a clear sense of what kind of place it was: a team I wanted to join.
You were picked in the fourth round of the draft. How do you feel about that? Do you think you should have been picked higher?
I would not have been surprised if I fell lower honestly. I didn't do a whole lot in particular to put my name out there though I don't have any regrets about that for the DSFL draft. Looking at where everybody else landed, I think I was picked as high as I could have realistically asked for.
What are you most looking forward to ahead of your rookie DSFL season?
Just getting to really know everybody in the locker room and enjoying playing in some games. The off season and the draft are all great but it's all going to be history soon enough.
Do you feel any pressure to live up to the standards of last season's Ultimini Champion Buccaneers team?
I think a little bit. It's impossible not to because the expectations can not be any higher. At the same time though, I feel really confident in the team and management group to lead everybody back in that direction.
What are your first impressions of the Buccaneers locker room? Have any players or coaches made a particular impression on you?
Active. Hella active. I live on discord but I can't even keep up and that's awesome. I don't think I can name anybody in particular but the fact that there's so many people has just turned this place into a constant party about everything.
Looking beyond this season, what do you hope to accomplish in your career?
Originally I was hoping to be best in my class when I started out as a tight end. While my position change means that for my DSFL career I'll be playing in a different role, I'll take the time to re-evaluate any person goals I might have. At the end of the day I just want to win and I think MBB is the place to do it.
Cory has me tied to a chair in his basement and I can only communicate through the team's discord. Could you please help me? I've been stuck down here for weeks.
I dunno, if you've got internet I feel like you've got access to more than enough so you're probably fine.
Pancakes or waffles?
Waffles I think. There are some fluffy ass pancakes that are good but I don't want gourmet, I just want to stuff my face.
Your rookie contract is going to pay you five million dollars. What's the first purchase you're going to make? Something sensible or a fancy car?
Sensible would be paying for equipment but I think I need a little more cash before I can do it and feel comfortable about training. Didn't stop me from buying some new kicks in the mean time though.
Round 5, 40th Overall: Dick Thruster
Congratulations on being drafted into the DSFL! How did it feel hearing your name called on draft night?
It was pretty cool to hear my name although the announcers were hesitant to say my name because the name Dick is also what male genitalia is called.
Which team did you think would draft you? Were you surprised that Myrtle Beach was the team to pick you?
I was a waiver pick by the Birddogs but had some friends on Norfolk but was in a bunch of locker rooms so I really didn't know where I was going to go.
You were picked in the fifth round of the draft. How do you feel about that? Do you think you should have been picked higher?
The only reason I could have been picked higher would have been because of my prestige in another sim league. I'm an OL and I told GMs that I wouldn't really be a max active TPE earner so it's no wonder I fell.
What are you most looking forward to ahead of your rookie DSFL season?
Win games and pancake defenders.
Do you feel any pressure to live up to the standards of last season's Ultimini Champion Buccaneers team?
Not really. I'm just here to play football.
What are your first impressions of the Buccaneers locker room? Have any players or coaches made a particular impression on you?
The locker room seems to be very active which is great. Half of the people that I drafted to my team in the PBE are here so that's pretty cool. But MisObvious is here and he is pretty doo doo.
Looking beyond this season, what do you hope to accomplish in your career?
Be the best OL that has ever strolled on Earth. idk what am I really able to say with this position.
Cory has me tied to a chair in his basement and I can only communicate through the team's discord. Could you please help me? I've been stuck down here for weeks.
Kind of a weird setup ngl. Tied up but still given access to the internet?
Pancakes or waffles?
Pancakes all day.
Your rookie contract is going to pay you five million dollars. What's the first purchase you're going to make? Something sensible or a fancy car?
I don't think I can really buy anything of value with my fake football money. I'll probably just spend it on training to improve my player.
Round 6, 48th Overall: Jim Namen Jr
Congratulations on being drafted into the DSFL! How did it feel hearing your name called on draft night?
Thanks. It's a dream come true! I was pumped.
Which team did you think would draft you? Were you surprised that Myrtle Beach was the team to pick you?
The London Royals and Dallas Birddogs showed some interest in me. But I had no doubt Myrtle Beach was going to pick me if y'all had a chance, and you guys didn't let me down!
You were picked in the sixth round of the draft. How do you feel about that? Do you think you should have been picked higher?
Considering this league has only 8 teams, I think I fell. I should have went no lower than the third round.
What are you most looking forward to ahead of your rookie DSFL season?
Playing well, making plays and winning games.
Do you feel any pressure to live up to the standards of last season's Ultimini Champion Buccaneers team?
Yes, definitely. There's a lot of pressure to perform at a high level like the rest of the team.
What are your first impressions of the Buccaneers locker room? Have any players or coaches made a particular impression on you?
Mori definitely stands out. But the whole team is awesome in the locker room.
Looking beyond this season, what do you hope to accomplish in your career?
I have high expectations for myself. I feel I'm going to be great.
Cory has me tied to a chair in his basement and I can only communicate through the team's discord. Could you please help me? I've been stuck down here for weeks.
lol, okay send the location I guess. It's the least I can do.
Pancakes or waffles?
Pancakes. That wasn't hard at all.
Your rookie contract is going to pay you five million dollars. What's the first purchase you're going to make? Something sensible or a fancy car?
Buy my mum and dad a house.
Round 7, 56th Overall: 3' Jeffrey
Congratulations on being drafted into the DSFL! How did it feel hearing your name called on draft night?
Felt weird cause the draft commentators went silent after reading my name. I wonder why.
Which team did you think would draft you? Were you surprised that Myrtle Beach was the team to pick you?
Like 2 teams reached out to me and they were generic scouting google forms so I didn’t expect much out of that tbh. I’m happy in MB.
You were picked in the seventh round of the draft. How do you feel about that? Do you think you should have been picked higher?
It’s about where I expected to go.
What are you most looking forward to ahead of your rookie DSFL season?
To put my speed into use, it’s at an 88 right now hopefully I can get it to 90 before the season starts.
Do you feel any pressure to live up to the standards of last season's Ultimini Champion Buccaneers team?
No, winning a trophy is an easy task for the young 3’ Jeffrey.
What are your first impressions of the Buccaneers locker room? Have any players or coaches made a particular impression on you?
It’s a good discord, tons of people I know from the SHL so I feel comfortable in it.
Looking beyond this season, what do you hope to accomplish in your career?
To 3’ Jeffrey.
Cory has me tied to a chair in his basement and I can only communicate through the team's discord. Could you please help me? I've been stuck down here for weeks.
Nah, you’re on your own sorry fam.
Pancakes or waffles?
Pancakes, waffles are overrated.
Your rookie contract is going to pay you five million dollars. What's the first purchase you're going to make? Something sensible or a fancy car?
First thing I’m doing once the contract money is posting bail for my youngin Jeffrey.
Round 8, 64th Overall: Brock Bodenhamer
Congratulations on being drafted into the DSFL! How did it feel hearing your name called on draft night?
Getting drafted out of college is every football player’s dream, so it felt good to be selected. A lot of work led up to that moment.
Which team did you think would draft you? Were you surprised that Myrtle Beach was the team to pick you?
I have had two relatives play in the DSFL before, and they both were on Portland, so I was sort of expecting that. I grew up in the Carolinas, and everyone goes to Myrtle Beach for vacation, so I’m familiar with the area and the team. I did not have a lot of contact with the team, so I was not sure whether I was on the Buccaneers’ radar.
You were picked in the eighth round of the draft. How do you feel about that? Do you think you should have been picked higher?
Absolutely. I am humble and all, really grateful to even be apart of this league. But, I’ve had this mindset instilled in me where if you are not striving to be the greatest, then you are wasting everyone’s time.
What are you most looking forward to ahead of your rookie DSFL season?
Learning the way of the league.
Do you feel any pressure to live up to the standards of last season's Ultimini Champion Buccaneers team?
Always feel pressure to be the best.
What are your first impressions of the Buccaneers locker room? Have any players or coaches made a particular impression on you?
I’ve been in contact with people that I know pretty well.
Looking beyond this season, what do you hope to accomplish in your career?
Lots of touchdowns.
Cory has me tied to a chair in his basement and I can only communicate through the team's discord. Could you please help me? I've been stuck down here for weeks.
I don't know nothing and I don't want to know nothing.
Pancakes or waffles?
Waffles are better since they can hold syrup. Pancakes just let the syrup slide off. Wafflehouse has been there during the early hours of the morning when a hot breakfast is just what I needed.
Your rookie contract is going to pay you five million dollars. What's the first purchase you're going to make? Something sensible or a fancy car?
A sweet skimboard.
Round 9, 72nd Overall: Harrison Leavers
Congratulations on being drafted into the DSFL! How did it feel hearing your name called on draft night?
Didn't get to hear my name called out. But I'm still pumped to be here!
Which team did you think would draft you? Were you surprised that Myrtle Beach was the team to pick you?
I thought was gonna drafted by the Chiefs. Yeah, kinda surprised but looks like a good atmosphere.
You were picked in the ninth of the draft. How do you feel about that? Do you think you should have been picked higher?
I'm fine wherever I'm picked, a chance is a chance.
What are you most looking forward to ahead of your rookie DSFL season?
Getting my knowledge of this place up.
Do you feel any pressure to live up to the standards of last season's Ultimini Champion Buccaneers team?
I always like to be the best and yeah pressure is a good thing.
What are your first impressions of the Buccaneers locker room? Have any players or coaches made a particular impression on you?
It seems like a good place to be! Everyone seems kind.
Looking beyond this season, what do you hope to accomplish in your career?
I want to be readily recognised. Want to help a team win. To be a tiebreaker in close games.
Cory has me tied to a chair in his basement and I can only communicate through the team's discord. Could you please help me? I've been stuck down here for weeks.
It's going to cost you.
Pancakes or waffles?
Pancakes (Aussie boi).
Your rookie contract is going to pay you five million dollars. What's the first purchase you're going to make? Something sensible or a fancy car?
You know, not much. Probs something for the people that helped me.
