Hello and welcome back to another coverage by The S18 News Channel. Today we will be taking a look at the top 10 picks of the upcoming draft and mock our picks of where we see prospects going. In honor of the best month of the year, October, we will be comparing each mocked pick to famous fictional killers of the cinema realm. From slashers, creepy dolls, and to brain eaters, and cannibals we have it all here folks! So without further ado......BOO!
1st overall pick: Bjorn Ironside (@IsaStarcrossed)
(45 tackles, 3 tfls, 1 forced fumble, 5 sacks)
What is there to say that hasn't been said about the big man already? You know him, you love him. Dread from it, run from it, Ironside Blindside's all come the same. If NOLA takes anybody here but Bjorn, I think the entirety of of the S18 will be flying to New Orleans to kick TH's ass. Joking aside IsaStarcrossed has quickly built a media empire in this league and earned enough cash to fund 4 careers. He should be a cornerstone for The Second Line to build their defense to build around for seasons to come and will no doubt be an asset in their scouting department.
Horror Comparison: Stephen King
This will be the only deviation from serial killers but like The Horror King himself, Isa serially kills media with his quantity of media post and certainly the quality of them.
2nd overall pick: Zach Hall (@Hallmonitor_20)
(0 tackles, 0, tfls, 0 forced fumbles, 0 sacks)
The Liberty have plenty of holes to fill and appear to be in a rebuilding phase. I believe they take Zach Hall here. They get a high TPE earning defensive end with GM experience. Hall's draft stock had a late surge when the youtube sensation switched from TE to DE, much to the dismay of some of his fellow defensive ends. He's charismatic and the meme master of S18. He should plug into slm's LR and give Philly a positive piece to work around.
Horror Comparison:Chucky
Much like Chuck with his one-liners, Hall is always quick on the draw with his witty memes, sometimes called the fastest memer in the west.
3rd overall pick:Maurice Virtanen(@`BaconBrother`)
(157 tackles, 3 tfls, 2 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery, 2 sacks)
With the 3rd pick of the draft The Finnisher comes off the board to the Orange County Otters. Spec picks up a promising GM candidate here as well as a plug and play Linebacker with a class leading 226 TPE for the linebacker position. Despite the menacing name, BaconBrother is one of the nicest people you will meet, just not on the field.
Horror Comparison: Lordi from Dark Floors
In honor of the Finny, we will go with Finnish horror film Dark Floors and the monster played by Lordi. Much the other-dimensional monster above, Maurice has a nack of suddenly appearing at his victims ready to demolish ball carriers.
4th overall pick: Louisiana Purchase (@Modern_Duke)
(58 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recoveries, 2 sacks, 7 interceptions, 15 passed defended, 2 defensive TD's)
The Yeti needs a defensive back and there is none better than the reigning DSFL S17 DPoTY LP. LP was the boogie man of offenses league wide all year long to the tune of 9 turnovers with some sacks thrown in for good measure. He also single-handedly scored more points than Palm Beaches Boug Daldwin and TE Zach Hall. With him dropping to the 4th pick, the Yeti can feel confident they get a steal even picking this high.
Horror Comparison: Freddy Krueger
Much like the Freddy haunts the dreams of the kids on Elm Street, LP is haunting DSFL QB's nightmares to this day.
Just when you think you're in the clear LP swoops in like your worst nightmare.
5th overall pick:Tyrone Biggums(@Revolution5)
(56 Catches, 774 yards, 6 TD's)
At number 5 I think we finally see our first offensive player come off the board. San Jose and Biggums are a match made in heaven. The big brothers of PB like to sling the rock as much as anyone in the league and could use some youth at WR. Tyrone proved to be a track burner at WR this year and his skill set looks to translate to immediate success on a talent-deficient roster.
Horror Comparison: The Creeper
The Creeper from Jeepers Creepers, shows no mercy for his victims, and Tyrone shows no mercy for cornerbacks that line up against him. Whether breaking ankles at the line of scrimmage or burning them deep, this man has no consideration for the opponents livelihood or their families.
6th overall pick:Thudd Kassel
(126 tackles, 1 tfl, 2 sacks, 1 int, 3 pd's)
I believe New Orleans holds on to this draft pick here and picks the human riot, Thudd Kassel. Kassel has proven to be a good presence in the locker room and now has a DSFL GM role which could transfer to a NSFL role in the future. A proven top earner and active enough in Media. This gives NOLA the defense of the future.
Horror Comparisonennywise the Clown
I don't think this comparison comes as a surprise to anyone that knows or watches Thudd play ball. The man is an absolute terror on the field and not just football wise. Many opposing offensive players have reported Thudd doing absolute weird and bonkers shit presnap to get in their head. But like Pennywise Thudd is a quick agile linebacker that you can't ever quite shake off of you.
7th overall pick:Marcella Toriki
(430 Carries, 1785 yards, 9 TDS)
Marcella single handedly gave Norfolk a semblance of a functioning offense. With recent retirements, the Wraiths need a proven bell cow to possibly step in and take over. What better option than the Queen herself. Marcella can step in and be an immediate contributor and YKW doesnt miss a beat.
Horror Comparison: Carrie White from Carrie
At first glance Carrie is your typical harmless teenage girl living the teenage life. But when aggravated and abused, a hidden beast comes out to terrorize all who did her wrong. Toriki plays the same way. When you first see her lining up in the backfield her size is diminutive and unassuming. But as soon as you put that first hit on her or talk your shit. A different player comes out that attacks the defense with unparalleled ferocity.
8th overall pick:Korrin Abernathy
(103 tackles, 3 tfl's, 1pd)
Korrin doesnt have the flashiest stats as a corner but I believe that changes playing for a contender like Arizona. He has league job and to my knowledge sim experience, which can be invaluable to a team. With LP off the board I see Korrin being the pick to fill the need on the back end of their defense.
Horror Comparison: The Predator
Much like the Predator, Korrin is a defensive back that is a swiss army knife of skills. He can kill and skin you 100+ ways and you have to be constantly aware of where either is in relation to you. Better be careful or you'll find yourself with 3 dots on your chest before you know it.
9th overall pick:Mike Franchet
(44 tackles, 17 tfls, 6 sacks)
While not the highest earning TPE DE available in the draft I think OCO gets a guy they know they can count on for team morale. Having someone like Mike in your LR is invaluable to teammates and he never fails to make sure you know you are loved and put a smile on your face. He is going to love you and you are going to like it. Joking aside I see Mike picking up his TPE earning ability next season and becomes another young cornerstone for the defending champs. Upside also includes learning to become a simmer.
Horror Comparison: Jason Voorhees
You can set him on fire, you can shoot him, you can drown him. It doesnt matter. Jason and Mike are both getting back up and they are getting back up to come kick your ass and kill you. You might beat Mike "The Beerman" Franchet on a series of plays. But you better believe he is rising up after each one to come at you with all he has every play.
10th overall pick:Net Gaines
(110 tackles, 5 tfl's, 1 forced fumble, 5 sacks, 9 pass deflections)
Copperheads have stated they are going defense and they are going defense early. I think they get a pleasent surpise when a player of Net Gaines caliber falls to the 10th pick and get a well liked rookie and swiss army knife Linebacker that can be utilized in multiple ways.
Horror Comparison: Pinhead
[b]Pinhead has multiple tools at his disposal to torture you and Net Gaines has the same skill set to torture opposing offensive coordinators with his versatility.
I just want to say good luck to all my fellow rookies tomorrow on draft night! And thank you to the events team for putting on such a great show for us!
