Minnesota’s destiny is not in our hands. We need to win out and get some help just to make the playoffs. Obviously this is a disappointment for the two-time defending Ultimini champions. Since the road to the playoffs is quite clear, the focus should be on revamping for next season. Based on this season, there is one obvious way to improve: draft better.
This season’s draft was a mixture of bad luck and a low volume of picks. Minnesota had the fewest amount of picks in the draft, and had some bad luck with inactivity and some “active” players not gaining much TPE and requiring playing time due to DSFL rules. With the immense draft class, it’s hard to say that Minnesota didn’t scout well - their top round picks all panned out very well. Perhaps what they were looking for in late-round prospects was not the right things to be looking for. Notes should be taken from the Dallas GM’s who had an incredible draft and were getting high-TPE players into the latest rounds of the draft.
The Grey Ducks will also need to figure out their quarterback situation. With Vega switching to wide receiver and probably moving on to the NSFL, the Grey Ducks will look to Sim Snowbow to take over the reigns. This is a discomforting prospect as Snowbow is just now getting into triple digits. But if he can keep up the progress, he will be a solid option for Minnesota. Look for the Grey Ducks to add depth at the QB position in the upcoming S22 DSFL draft.
