The Tijuana Luchadores had a great draft after a disappointing season which should propel them back into the conversation as one of the best DSFL teams. They used their first few picks on the most important positions in the league. Quarterbacks were taken with three of the top four picks of the draft, including Ben Slothlisberger, taken fourth overall by Tijuana, who struggled due to poor quarterback play last season. As if adding a top prospect at the position wasn't enough, Tijuana added late round draft steal Jim Waters to sit behind Slothlisberger.
Cornerback was perhaps the most important position in the recent draft, as a quarter of the draft picks from the first four rounds were cornerbacks. After five CBs had come off the board, Tijuana traded their 20th pick to KC, who drafted cornerback Chester Sweets. Tijuana was still able to get their guy, Andrew Witten, with the 28th pick, and used the 29th pick acquired from Kansas City to draft CB Ozamataz Buckshank.
Tijuana had several more great draft finds who should be solid contributors. Calvin Golladay will be a great offensive lineman for the team. mid round picks George Fisher and Devaunte Devaunte Sackpieder (drafted with pick acquired in KC trade) add much needed depth at linebacker. Finally, RB Richard Gilbert and WR Thomas Passman will join deep skill-position groups to work with Slothlisberger on offense.
