S41 will prove to be one of the top draft classes in ISFL history. Let's take a look at some of the key picks here. I'll highlight my Colorado teammates, but also other users I think who will succeed as well. I'll also make some bold claims on who I think can make HOF. I apologize to users I didn't highlight, but I don't want to make this a bajillion words. 600 is plenty!
Dub Redd: Selected number 1 overall I think this player is going to be a solid piece for New York, an immediate contributor on the defense in my opinion. Also shoutout to Wizard_Literal for making some killer mock drafts with excellent commentary. Although we're not on the same team, expect him to be a perennial pro bowler.
Mary Marie: Colorado Yeti's first selection in the draft and probably one of the top best defensive backs in this draft class, Marie is going to be an absolute force in the secondary. Colorado is definitely building a contender on defense. Definitely will have a shot at HOF based on the team around Marie. I expect them to be a captain in the secondary.
Craig Brand: Elmerchanto was projected in the top 5 of a lot of drafts so for Colorado to get his player Brand here in the middle of the first round is incredible. I think this is an excellent pickup and will immediately bolster this Yeti defense. I can't wait to play alongside him and Marie. Brand will be in multiple pro bowls without a doubt and have serious HOF considerations.
Oliver Tolliver: Love the name and this was the first offensive player in the S41 ISFL draft. Memento Mori (also love the Lamb of God reference, assuming it is so) is an incredible ISFL user and I'm shocked to see his player drop this far. Obviously a lot of teams were targeting defense, but in 12 seasons or so we're going look back and realize that a HOF WR was taken at the 9th pick.
Wolfie McDummy Jr.: Colorado has locked in their QB of the future. InfiniteMPG is going to be a staple both on the Yeti offense and will be in the conversations as top QB in the league once he hits his prime. The first QB selected in the draft and in my opinion the best. Also shoutout to him for making the clean draft cards
Loose Cannon: I have no idea how this player fell so far. Jumbo is a top user in sim leagues and now New York might have the best linebacker core in the ISFL if they can retain Redd and Cannon once they peak. I know this was a deep LB class, but I had Cannon going in the top 3 here so New York should be absolutely ecstatic to have him at 15 overall. Definitely a HOF user at minimum.
Terry Johnson: Speaking of deep LB class, just want to shoutout to Gumbaman here. He's a sim league vet and someone I would interact a loooooong time ago in the SCFSL. Probably not a HOF candidate, but he'll be a solid role player on that Yellowknife defense.
The Riddler: New York had maybe the second best draft here (after Colorado of course) and they hit it big with picking up the WR create by Mattbake12. MB12 is maybe my favorite user in all of sim leagues and just a genuinely great person to talk to. Even if he solely created this player to burn my player on pass plays.
Orga Panda: Another generation of Pandas in sim leagues, Juniped is back and better than ever. A staple on the Tijuana offense I expect him to have a solid career for Wraiths.
Ryan Knock: Austin is getting maybe the second best steal in this draft. A deep linebacker class indeed, because Nasbase is a solid user so expect Knock to be a threat for the Copperheads.
Malik Brooks: THE ABSOLUTE STEAL OF THIS DRAFT AND IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE. Brooks will be the best running back from this draft class bar none and a HOF candidate easily. AK41 is an absolutely goated user and getting picked up in the middle of the 4th round is absolutely a steal.
When the dust settles I would expect 7-8 HOF players from this draft class and so many more solid role players as well. Some fresh users combined with old heads in this class and I think that's a great formula for the one of the best ISFL draft classes in league history and definitely a staple one.
