This new season absolutely brought fresh faces into the locker room for the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers. Only a handful of vets are still on the team but those guys are the core from which the draft was able to supplement in a way that will take us back to the Ultimini and this time we'll win! On the offensive side of the ball, our OL and RB were already our biggest strength for us before the draft so they didn't focus too much on those positions although they did help the depth with the drafting of Bruce Buckley who will be a beast on the OL and RB2 J.B. Apollo. Backup QB Tom Sofa with the Mr. Irrelevant pick is garnering a lot of attention as well. Our veteran WRs who are starting right now as well, only needed depth to back them up. The team drafted a couple guys with potential and even converted myself from LB to WR when they saw how fast I was and that I could kind of catch. I'm a work in progress to be honest. Finally, on the offensive side we were lucky enough to draft one of the best TEs in the draft with Heath Evens.
On the defensive side, the Buccs had veteran stars at each position but they needed filling out since they lost some truly excellent players to the NSFL draft. Some future stars that were drafted are Troen Egghands and Octavio Clemente on the DLine, Mark Radson in the LB spot, Brandon Booker as a CB, and Jonny Hellzapoppin watching the back end as a Saftey. All of these guys were immediate starters along side the vets and with our season starting 2-0 so far, they are proving to be well worth their picks in the draft. Thank goodness we have excellent scouts and GMs or our team could be a wreck.
