Days after the Expansion draft the GM’s of Philadelphia have gotten together again to discuss the next draft that's around the corner. Philadelphia's first ever draft will be a memorable one as they are one of two teams to be an expansion team this year. If you have been in the war room around draft time, you know the preparation and non stop focus that it causes. Raw data on top of tons of game film from hundreds of players that the scouts have filed for GM’s. With GM’s, coaches, scouts, owner and president of the team in one room asking if certain player is a good fit for this team. Hours and even days become antagonizing as the GM’s plan on who to take at what round, and create a list of players just in case if one they like gets taken they can chose another one. “Since we are an expansion draft we’ll be looking for the best players in the draft not just players to solidify our depth. We don't have that type of luxury. We need a winning product out there, this year.” Philadelphia has 14 picks in this draft, with many of the picks coming from trades they acquired from protecting certain players in the expansion draft.
