The S43, despite being the greatest draft class of all time, well, after S22, is one of the more interesting classes. There are some major league contributors that joined us for the first time in the class but also some major whiffs that were heralded at the time.
The first overall pick, Thomas Sutha (lemonoppy) has proven to be invaluable in his media but to me, most importantly, his website which features a player updater that resembles the PBE’s. It makes it so much easier to allocate your TPE which was always somewhat difficult for me as I am terrible at math. Lemon is also a great presence in the general league chat. As for his work as GM of the Outlaws, he’s off to an incredible start with a perfect 2-0 Ultimus record. Lemon should go down as one of the greatest first overall picks in league history. This user alone would make S43 an elite draft even if every other pick went IA.
At second overall, it was somewhat of a surprise to see Jay Cue III not go first. Opera_Phantom is a crucial member of our league. He's held HO positions and several jobs throughout his time here. He's got the same condition as DarknessRising, where seemingly every create they have makes the Hall of Fame. We will see how Cue III does, he's already got an Ultimus, something his first HoF player could not do.
At third overall, Wing Gundam (Now Gil Fischer), this seemed like a great pick for Sarasota. Ctots had recreated and was a good media contributor, both written and podcasting. For whatever reason, Ctots is now IA before hitting 1000 TPE.
At fourth overall, Sack Sparrow is one of three top 10 first round whiffs made by Berlin in a disastrous S43 Draft. User water has gone IA and there's really nothing else to talk about here. 607 TPE for a top 5 pick is a big oopsie.
Berlin followed up their fourth overall blunder with another bust in Gaius Gleel at 5. This one needs some more context. Crody was a great user from the early S20s and had become a key contributor to CHI with running sim tests and eventually GMing. I still don't know where he went but you can't hold this one against Berlin because it was seen as a slam dunk pick at the time.
At sixth overall, Ignatious Cleetington was a good pick. Radio was a prolific podcaster and showed great enthusiasm in the gen league chat. He's hit 1100 TPE and has a ton of money, but for whatever reason hasn't been around in the league gen chat for a while. As of May, his podcast has returned after a hiatus that lasted almost a year. Like I said, this was a good pick for Sarasota and Radio's contributions are back.
At pick 7, this is a disappointment for not only Colorado but the league as a whole. Honey is a great user and I hope to see them again soon.
Woof, Berlin. Kyle Bessey was the third of the Firesalamander's first round busts. While a beast for Tijuana, Bessey is just over 500 TPE and will likely never hit 900. Berlin traded Bessey to the Hawks this offseason and switched archetypes to blocking FB.
At 9, Sarasota went with Spruce Willis. Things looked good for a while as FootballisCool hit the 1100 TPE mark before, unfortunately becoming Sarasota's second first rounder to go IA.
At 10 we have Crasher Wake, who is a 1200+ TPE defensive monster now. Any given season sees Wake in the awards show. Not al lot of defensive players are in the MVP discussion but Wake has been. I also am a fan of Zodiak, a user like me. We don't get too deep into league jobs but are great earners.
PS. Pick 15 was a great one for Baltimore. Anakin Skywalker has been a great earner and has made a Pro Bowl and an All-Pro Team.
