(S35) PT 1 - Draft Recap

[Gordon Bombay]

The last draft was my first dsfl draft as the London Royals co general manager and I am pretty proud of our draft. I can say without a doubt and without bias that it was the best draft ever.

In the two first round we got the dynamic safety duo compose of Quendyn Quarterstorm and Aleksander Milescu. The two of them are earning very well and they demonstrate wonderful leadership in the locker room.

Then we drafted Abh in the third round. By doing so we assured that the London scouting team will never have another spreadsheet problem. Abh is a london legend and we are proud the bring him back.

We were able to draft the dt Joseph Reed. He played for London as a waiver pick up and it was a priority to bring him back. Wonderful earning and locker room presence.

We then drafted yesboom. He earns, his active in the LR and does wonderful art. A true legend in the making.

In the sixth round we got Slate. A wonderful london legend and he is amazing to have in the war room.

The DSFL and ISFL has concluded and it’s looking like we’re gonna be a healthy class on our end. I feel like I’ve already talked enough about the DSFL draft in my Off-season so that just seems too easy. Looking at the ISFL draft there are some strong contenders for rookie of the year, but I’ll focus on star Kicker for the Sarasota Sailfish @"Maglubiyet" Swantavius King. 

Over his first four games, he’s perfect on extra point kicks(18/18) and made every kick so far that’s under 50 yards. With impressive kick power and accuracy slowing creeping up to match it, he’s been an ASSET to the team. Sarasota has the steal in the draft thanks to a dedicated kicker who’s made a combined total of 39 points over four games. That’s not bad for a first round selection as our kicker searches for his 50+ kick in the big leagues. 

The furthest kick so far for our hero is 46 yards. A kick over 52 yards out prevented this draft steal from having the perfect kick percentage of 100%. I hereby declare that upon reaching that 50+, he is granted the honor of doing the Dobble as is my responsibility to choose worthy apprentices into the dance. 

I’ll be watching your career (through my fantasy team) with such high hopes.

Art Deco is gonna be a rookie of the year candidate and I think he has a good chance to win it. He's the newest CB for the Chicago Butchers, and he isn't going to be expected to line up across from the top guy right away. With enough talent in the defensive backfield, Deco should have a field day covering the guys who aren't that good or guys like the RB or TE who are less likely to run by him on the outside. Deco has an athletic pedigree, and considering the fact that his QB likes to throw 2 or 3 interceptions a game, there should be plenty of opportunities for the defense to force some turnovers when all is said and done. Whether it's pass breakups or interceptions, there's no reason Art Deco shouldn't be in a prime spot to make something happen and keep the team from having to play offense if he gets a pick 6 or two.

Now, I know what I write in this PT will be a heavily controversial take, however, I feel that it will be a fair take if what I think will happen does indeed happen. Swantavious King WILL be the rookie of the year once awards come by. The Sarasota kicker became the first kicker to ever be selected in the first round, and that just proves how good of a player he is. King is already an elite kicker and has the most made extra points in the entire ISFL, and has 0 missed extra points. While King does have one missed field goal, it was a fifty yarder, and as he continues to boost his kicking stats throughout the season, that is unlikely to happen again. While I know it is true that kickers rarely win this award, in a season where no rookie is showing true dominance, a kicker who is putting up a KOTY caliber season surely should be in the running.

@"Maglubiyet" for Rookie Of The Year

For the sake of this point task, I will be focusing on the DSFL draft.

The DSFL class was a larger than average one which was certainly a sight for sore eyes. There were still active players being drafted well into the 6th and 7th rounds. As a result, I feel that many teams, especially the ones who did their scouting, were able to pick up some hidden gems in the later rounds. While I think there were several teams that had great drafts like Portland and Tijuana, I do feel that London had a very solid class of rookies and recreates.

In the first and second rounds, London was fortunate enough to grab our top two picks in Twenty6 and Alikh. Both wavier pickups for us in the season, they immediately fit in with the locker room and we knew we had to get them. In the third and fifth round, London brought back two veterans in abh89 and slate. Nothing needs to be said about these two, both former GM's and awesome users all around. I think we struck gold in the fourth round with yesboom. I had an awesome conversation with them and they've been loving the league so far. I look forward to see how these picks and the rest of the London class turn out.
