At this moment of time, how do you see your S2 draft stock?
Are there any players heading into the S2 draft you've been impressed by?
Is there any team you'd prefer to play for?
Realistically, do you see yourself as starter when you get drafted in S2?
(Welcome to the league)
At this moment of time, how do you see your S2 draft stock?
I'm aware that DTs are typically not in "high demand," especially for the two new expansion teams who will probably be focusing on locking down their skill player positions. I also think that the fact that I have (seemingly, I may be incorrect) passed through waivers unclaimed is indicative to the current demand for DTs. However, I was pleased with my performance in the first prospective preseason game, and I think my 11-yard sack for a safety shows that I can be a playmaker in this league. I think the upcoming prospective games will only improve my draft stock, and once teams see what I can do on the field and how devoted I am to improving my play, my stock will only increase. But this is a very talented rookie class, and I recognize the business side of this game in addressing high demand roster needs. My goal is to be the first DT to be taken off the board in the draft, and the team that drafts me would be getting not only a driven and dominant DT, but an active leader and teammate as well.
Are there any players heading into the S2 draft you've been impressed by?
The player I think most would mention here would be Kevin Cobb, and I am going to have to follow suit and name him as well. It would be dishonest of me to mention anyone else. Cobb amassed almost 100 yards rushing and tacked on 5 receptions for 30 yards, and was one of the most consistent performers on the field the whole game. I should know, it was my job to try and stop him! But this league has a multitude of RBs, and it is very hard to set yourself apart in that position. Cobb has set himself apart in this draft class so far, and I'm excited to get to play him again.
Is there any team you'd prefer to play for?
Thematically speaking, the Yeti would make sense as I am no stranger to all things cold and icy. I probably look like a Yeti myself!
Realistically, do you see yourself as starter when you get drafted in S2?
Yes, I think that by the time I am drafted I can be a starter in this league. I am working hard to improve, and I am learning a lot about this level of play...It's quite different from how it was back at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. But it hasn't been difficult or discouraging, and I know that by the time the draft comes I will be an immediate contributor to my team.
Thank you for the welcome! :cheers:
