Being in New Orleans, we really focused on our future in this past draft. We didn't grab any free agents and we sent all of our draftees back down to their respective DSFL teams as we were already stacked for this season going in. We've built well and are ready for the season as it comes, so we focused on strengthening what may be future weaknesses. For that reason, I'll talk about the DSFL team that I am closest with! The Norfolk Seawolves have always been dear to my heart and it is hard to not get excited now that they seem to be striving. Two strong classes in a row and I feel like this last one can really put them over the edge. Our offense is mostly returning this season and should get work done, so the draft focused our defense where we got a stud in Thubba Bumper in the first round. This cornerback knows what he is doing and he was quick to take a leadership role. We knew what we were getting when we snapped him up and I couldn't be happier about the role he has taken in our locker room as the savior of Norfolk. As the team leader, he has really raised morale for the team and he should keep it that way as we progress. We also grabbed Magnus Rikiya and Matt "Son of Havoc" Cross in the second round. We needed to bolster our defense as quickly as possible and these are two guys that should come in and have impact immediately. We didn't think either of these guys would fall as far as they did and even traded up for one of the two. They're going to have immediate impact and they've shown an eagerness getting ready for the season. I think players like these three are what we need to really push us over the edge and the DSFL should be on alert for the GOAT boats.
