A tale as old as time. David versus Goliath, the small nerdy kid vs the bully, me selling my old clothes on FB marketplace vs Goodwill. We have the New Orleans Secondline versus the world. NOLA has found themselves in a struggling location clawing for more than one win, frothing at the mouth for the extra score. While onlookers laugh and point, aka @Gumbaman and @Thor. Fortunately this is all part of the plan. Several seasons ago NOLA entered into a rebuild, a changing of the guard, a metamorphosis if you will. Led by GMs @MobiausGrander and @Jaywe88 and now @baz1757 stepping up to the plate, NOLA has begun the arduous process of creating a new dynasty.
The first step in this process was auctioning off every living cell on the team for whatever value could be obtained. In that effort the GMs definitely squeezed blood from a stone. NOLA was able to secure multiple first round picks in the the Season 41 and Season 42 draft. There was a small mix up and NOLA lost its original season 43 1st round pick, but through some creative means was able to secure 2 more by the time the draft finished. In this effort the GMs were insanely effective. The S41 and S42 classes have been some of the most active users in the league and have already integrated themselves into the league as a whole.
Let’s take a look at some of the users NOLA has grabbed in the last 3 drafts.
S41
@baz1757 - Ezra Azazel - CB - Sure baz can’t count to seven but damn can he set a lineup. He took TIJ to a Ultimini and took the trophy home. Hard to push against this guy. Now he is cogm at NOLA? I’m seeing trophies in the future.
@toofpete - Bruce White - DE - Ok so this guy can’t sack but I’ll be damned if he can’t lead and build a collaborative environment. He may be 60 years old but that has given him the experience to theorycraft and maximize trade potential. Toof has proven his worth 5 times over.
@Ultimatedestroye - Kyle Crane - RB - Going into this I thought we had 3 picks b2b2b, but somehow Ult dropped to 20? ISFL GMs sleeping on this legend.Unfortunately he is part of the
“TIJ pipeline”.
S42
@swoosh - Dino Nuggets - CB - Two CBs with their first pick? Seems like a positional preference. I guess he makes graphics for our season schedules, that’s cool. Also solidifying some sort of TIJ to NOLA pipeline. L pick
@Chicken Lips - Hank Mardukas - TE - Yikes TE 3oa. Whiff.
@CeeKay - Octavion Speedings -WR - JK yall he is our QB now. He approves your budgets and will soon destroy yall on the field.
@Komobro- Honey Humphries - S - Komo is a quiet soul, but earns well and will be devastating in the secondary. Sorry yall, despite the honey he isn’t that sweet.
@15oa - MIA
@Sonny- Sonny Johnson - DT - This marcher makes some of the most creative player graphics I have ever seen. Coupled with a bomb render, he is undefeated.
S43
@DoubleDub - Josh Gibson - S - 10 picks passed on DoubleW? Surely now we will get 2W, doubling last season’s total. Jokes aside Dub is going to absolutely tear it up.
@IHateBobNutting - Bubba Hog - LB - we seem to have a LB gap rn, Hog doing everything he can to fill the spot. *ILoveBobNutting*
@MobiausGrander - Allister Adebam - DT - GM
@Moosecop - Kelijah Verwae - OL - Can’t believe he fell so late. He is a hero pick. At a minimum saving NOLA cap space but has already added so much to the LR. Shoutout Moose and every other GM for passing on this guy.
We drafted more people than I have listed each season and alot them have been active, particularly shoutout to the S43 gang, every single pick has made their way into the LR. Looking forward I’m not sure S43 is where NOLA makes their big move. After snagging OCO Qb Adrian St. Christmas, we are definitely better suited to a competitive atmosphere, but some of our skill positions are just a touch behind a peak team. S44 is where the real climb starts, and I think people are going to start seeing that soon.
