I love the draft. It's a magical experience, and shoutout to the entire team who makes it happen, especially the graphics. I was part of S28 and I was ultimately drafted #7 overall to the San Jose Sabercats. Within the Tijuana locker room, we were chatting about where I could potentially go. I was pretty vocal about being called up immediately, so my guess was that I either go to SJS/COL in the 1st round, mayyybe SAR, but otherwise BAL/AUS if I were to somehow fall to the 2nd round. I guessed SJS because they had just lost my TIJ teammate Rich Triplet, so only had 4 DBs on the roster. As a new user, when you're getting scouted, you talk to more than a dozen people and the conversations are generally samey, asking very similar questions about your player goals and so on, and with no easy way to keep track of the conversations because I have the habit of closing my DMs, I couldn't really gauge how I come off to people. I was just hoping that they had read a bit of my media and stuff and understood who they are drafting.
Really though, the draft is great. With everyone in the various Discord servers congratulating you when you get drafted, it really does emulate getting drafted in the NFL, albeit on a really small scale of course, but the feeling is there. I heard all 1st round picks get a Dotts card at some point, so my only draft goal was to go first round, "and I'm here man! It means every-fucking-thing to me! Fine me later, man! This mean everything to me!" My only sadness is not being able to experience the draft for the next 10 seasons or so at least, or maybe even longer, and my next recreate will likely not be a max earner, so the draft won't be as magical not going so high, either, but I'm glad to have experienced the draft the way I did in both the DSFL and ISFL as a brand new user.
