Task 16: Well, I suppose that the season is over, and currently the draft is happening behind closed doors. Being drafted would be really awesome for not only me but also the team that selects me. For starters, tight end is not a position that is known to be in high demand, and I earn not that badly. I'm by no means the star earner of the class, but I consistently update and try my best to do my tasks and such every week. Yes, my media pieces don't happen much, but I've got a life (and other sim leagues) taking up my time so I can't do everything. Additionally, I don't have a whole lot of time on Discord because of the aforementioned reason. However, I use my time on Discord as best I can, and ultimately, I'm me. I bring a flavor to a team's LR that none can ever replicate. And don't worry, it's a good flavor.

Task 21: I understand that I haven't been around for that long on this site, definitely not long enough to see the change from DDSPF16 to 21, but thankfully, I'm in the EFL, which uses the former sim engine still. And although I haven't watched many of the games, this engine seems better in general. I've been setting strats for DDSPF16 for about 7 seasons now, and it's a pretty predictable engine. Minors QBs and WRs are awful and shouldn't get used a lot, and the best season by college QBs are just so exceptionally amazing when compared to the others that it's kinda too good to be true. RBs are the way to go in the lower leagues, and lots of guys get 2.5K yards on 7 YPC in a season. In the pro leagues it's all flipped around. Any good QB goes out and throws for 5K+ yards with really high QBRs while the RBs never get higher than 5 YPC. In this sim, though, it seems like good DSFL and ISFL QBs and RBs both do pretty well, yet none of them are overpowered.

Task 10: Nacho Macho Man was, once upon a time, destined to be quarterback. Way back in middle school, he was big, he was strong, and he was fast. Plus, he could throw the ball. However, when he got to high school, his dreams of quarterbacking were extinguished. His high school had an amazing QB who was strong, could run really fast, and was an even better QB than him. What's more, both of them were freshmen! Nacho Macho Man was named the backup QB pretty quickly, but, obviously, he didn't want to be a backup, so he approached his coaches asking if there were any ways he could actually help the team. He was told that the tight end position was up for grabs, and thus he got to work. He was the first one in and the last one out. He worked with the tight ends coach whenever he could, and ended up winning the spot, which he held for all 4 seasons. When it was time to go to college, he chose Auburn with no second thoughts. However, Auburn is a very prestigious program, so he had to redshirt his first year because the competition was so stiff. He continued to work really hard, though, and by his senior year he was easily the best tight end in the nation. He was given the option to enter the ISFL draft, but he passed, and instead elected to go to waivers. 5 of the 8 teams scouted him, and ultimately Bondi Beach, the team who was #1 on the claims list, claimed him. Once again, Nacho Macho Man knew he had to get to work to succeed, and though it took a while, he got the success he needed. Although the team missed the playoffs in dramatic fashion, Nacho Macho had an excellent debut season, recording 53 catches for 570 yards and 3 scores, while adding 21 pancakes to just 1 sack allowed. So far, a lot of ISFL teams (I think 11? I lost count at 8) have scouted him, and he is projected to not go undrafted at the very least. 3rd round sounds pretty reasonable, but honestly I don't know. TE is a big need for many, though, so his pick number could exceed his TPE rank.
