This is the year for the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers. After coming off of a great season last year, they are poised to take the crown this time. A very defensive focused start of the draft (first four picks all on that side of the ball), this team is focused on shutting down any opposition. They also invested in the offensive line a little later in the draft to try and protect one of the best QB/RB duos in the league. But i feel that the biggest pick up was the rookie running back out of Ohio State; J.B. Apollo. He may have fallen to pick #136 in the draft, but he is ready to make some noise as a great change of pace back. Another thing this team has going for them is the leadership, there are so many veterans eager to take all of the rookies under their wing and help lead the new rookies down the winding path to greatness. The teamwork that is already being developed so early in the season will help this team get off to a hot start that will propel them forward for the rest of the season. The only question mark that i have for this team is; will all of these talented rookies be able to keep performing throughout the later portions of the season and into the playoffs? There's only one way to find out...
