Tier 1:
2. Tell us about your draft class. Is there anything that makes it special in comparison to other classes? Where did your fellow draftees land, how are they doing? Did anyone turn out to be an unexpected steal of that draft based on what you know today? Do you think anyone in your draft class will become a hall of famer? If you’re new to the league, how do you think your class will do? Where do you think people will get drafted to?
What makes my draft class so special huh? What makes this class so unique and different from everyone else. It’s simple really, we literally just got drafted, the draft just ended, and we don’t even have contracts, but I can already tell you there will be several most valuable player caliber players in this draft and this draft could run the league for a while. Whether it’s young newcomers who have been in the league for a month, or grizzled veterans who have been here since season 2, there is plenty of potential and plenty of players who are going to be able to really light the league on fire.
You have plenty of young studs, the first round was full of guys who either have a proven track record or are just can’t miss prospects. No matter the position you have difference makers at every, even if this is not the deepest draft the league has ever seen. Whether it’s quarterback, tight end, or defensive end, there is a group of prospects at every position that can just take that leap and really be great in the league. There was value in every round of the draft, especially with the amount of general manager picks there were this season. There was a good amount of general manager picks leading to some real good value in the third round and some good players to slide that wouldn’t have otherwise because of the forced general manager pick.
The first round of course is where most of the premier can’t miss prospects went, and there are plenty of recreates and new guys who seem like they’re really good and have a chance to be max earners and faces of the league and their teams. Whether it’s proven recreates in Dante King. Quinton Crash, Panda McKyle, Jay Cue JR, and Marcus Jones, or the new creates in Lip Gallaghar, Lucid Dreams, Chevvy Bronko, Suggs Upshar, Sam Squanch, David Frank, Will Smyth, Tre’Mendus Johnson, and Grnko Muerto. All of the first round picks have shown an incredible amount of promise and the new guys in the first have been incredible for their teams so far. If I had to guess as to what player in the first round will have the best career though I’d be putting stock in Jay Cue JR to be the best. The user, @Opera_Phantom is an incredible dude who has been a great presence in the league ever since he joined. His first player, Jay Cue, was a mainstay and the face of the Outlaws since he joined the team, taking over at QB. I feel like his son, Jay Cue JR, will do just the same for the Yellowknife Wraiths, if I was a GM and I had the first pick in the draft I would have had Cue JR at the top of my board for sure. As for the new guys, I think Lip Gallaghar is a future CB of the year and should be one of the best CBs in the league when he has the chance for the Baltimore Hawks. I’ve seen and heard nothing but great things about the user since he has been in the league, @fever95, and I actually mocked him as the first overall pick in my mock. The Hawks got him at third overall, which is excellent value for him and I feel like they got one of the best players in the draft in Gallaghar.
Now, what draft would be complete without premier QB talent to anchor the teams that need them. There were three QBs in the draft, all of them having been impactful veteran users who have an incredible track record in the league. The first one drafted was Panda McKyle, who was taken by the San Jose SaberCats. With Monty Jack close to regression, San Jose was a team that needed to start looking into their QB of the future, and Panda McKyle should be exactly that for the SaberCats. Panda McKyle was the one QB who really didn’t have a destination set for the player and had a clean slate in where they could go and should go to a great situation where they aren’t rushed into being a starter. They’ll have a lot of development time in the DSFL, plenty of time to learn and do well in the DSFL without pressure of having to take over the SaberCats. Next is Kazimir Oles JR, son of ISFL Hall of Famer Kazimir Oles. His destination was pretty set in stone compared to McKyle, it seemed like Chicago was where he would end up, especially since he preferred Chicago as his destination and wanted to go to the team where his father played for in their inaugural season, and where his cousin Tyler Oles JR played most of his career at and won a CB of the year with. The Butchers have George O’Donnell, so there will be no rush for the newest Oles to take over the team, and they were in a very similar boat as the SaberCats. Finally, Gimmy Jarappolo JR went to the Hawks, and as he was a general manager’s player he was forced there in the second round. The Hawks have a player who is on his way out in Luke Skywalker, who will be a good bridge quarterback for their rebuild but isn’t a difference maker like you need at the position, Jarappolo JR should change that however and should be a huge part of the resurgence of the Hawks. All three teams got great quarterback prospects, and are giving them plenty of time to learn and grow before having to enter the big leagues.
