Lets do the 2nd round now, before starting I expect a few more hits or misses now since now the draft becomes a bit more of a crap shoot and there will likely be more players with TPE less than mine.
HOW I WILL GRADE
Again as a max earner who went in the late 3rd round; if you have less TPE than me you are not a hit in the draft. so if a player has more than 545 TPE, I will consider them a HIT, if they have less than that I will consider them a MEH, and if they have less than 450 (100 less than a 3rd rounder) I will consider them a Bust. I considered dropping the bar to entry but I feel like considering there are about 40 players in our class with more TPE than that, expecting a 2nd rounder to be above that mark feels fair (and if its not write your own article)
With the first pick in the 2nd round Yellowknife Wraiths select Djibutee McJimmerson TE
UberBJ swapped to CB for Yellowknife when he was called up and has been a huge hit for them. At this moment he currently has about the same TPE as their 2OA pick who I also considered a hit. This player has a league job as a Updater and his willingness to swap shows that he is dedicated to this team and at 594 TPE McJimmerson is a clear HIT
With the 2nd Pick in the 2nd round the Arizona Outlaw Select Chuck Roth OL
Roth is another guy who swap positions to help his future team. Zeagle is a super active member of the league and is involved in different war rooms and makes graffics. At 573 TPE Zeagle is a HIT
With the 3rd Pick in the 2nd round the Philadelphia Liberty select Killian Chambers WR
The first WR off the board, and a guy who Philly really liked, and was promoted to Co-GM in his first season. While he stepped down along with the former GM, he has chosen to remain with Philly and is likely a key member of the war room. While his time as a GM was short he clearly is dedicated to this team, and with his 574 TPE, Char is a HIT
With the 4th pick in the 2nd round the Baltimore Hawks select Tony Yeboah S
The 2nd safety off the board, is Tony Yeboah. I really like frazzle as a user, and he clearly was drafted here over other safties due to his connections with the Baltimore GM who was new at the time. Frazzle is also a rookie mentor so you know he is dedicated to the leage. However at this point he is the 7th safety TPE wise and the TPE between 6th and 7th is about 30 TPE at this point. While I love frazzle as a user, at 512 TPE i have to give Frazzle a MEH
With the 5th pick in the 2nd round the New Orleans Second Line select Adam Mellott OL
This was a huge steal from NOLA knowing what we know now. Currently Mellott is the top O-Line TPE wise in the class and is both a Rookie Mentor and an Intern for the DSFL HO. While i personally have had little interaction with Guitarmaster compared to most of the other guys in this round, at 557 TPE he is a HIT
With the 6th pick in the 2nd round the Orange County Otters select Richard Leaking LB
Rev is a walnut. but he has 556 TPE so hes a HIT
With the 7th pick in the 2nd round the Honolulu Hahalua select Davriel Lavigne S
:shock: who would have saw this pick coming, truly unexpected. While Raven recently stepped down from GMing Honululu he clearly is still very active, with him going back and forth with Crunk for top safety in the class. Honolulu's former GM was a pick they had to make but with the way he is earning, 597 TPE, he still can be considered big HIT
With the 8th pick in the 2nd round the Arizona Outlaws select Vance Slattery DT (aka Doy Fieri)
Slattery, AKA Doy Fieri, aka Punter, aka Pat, was a great pick for Arizona. Only one problem, he left after one season to GM for Philly. While this does suck for the drafting team, they were able to get Wesley Eriksen a 900ish TPE Safety sent back to them in exchange for Pats services as GM. While Zona never really benefited from Pat's player on the field, the value they got out of him and the fact that hes at 577 TPE, means hes a HIT
With the 9th pick in the 2nd round the Honolulu Hahalua select Rusty Rucker LB
Lanced is the leader of the 4 Horsemen, which includes first round pick Asked_Madden. However despite being a solid user who I thought had a league job but is not listed as having one, he is only at 535 TPE so I have to give his pick a MEH
With the 10th pick in the 2nd round the New York Silverbacks select Dukburg Quakstak CB
The 2nd GM pick in the draft, Westy is another guy who has built two former players who were both legends for their respective team and the league. Quakstack is one of the top (if not the top) CB's earning wise in this class. and at 610 TPE New York got a huge HIT
With the 11th pick in the 2nd round the Austin Copperheads select Jackie Daytona QB
3rd GM pick and first QB, Mooty is another player that has been earning at a high level since being drafted. While he is the 2nd GM on this list to have already stepped down, he is clearly the QB of the future for Austin and will almost certainly be moving to the ISFL next season. and at 563 TPE Mooty is a HIT
With the 12th pick in the 2nd round the Sarasota Sailfish select Clay Stallworth OL
Stallworth was a guy who broke the DSFL record for pancakes in his one season in KCC. However it has been about 2 months since he has logged onto the site and has fallen to the 7th best O-Line in the draft. At 333 TPE and the fact that he is inactive for a significant amount of time Stallworth is a clear BUST
With the 13th pick in the 2nd round the Colorado Yeti select Dave Batista TE
This was the 4th GM pick and another guy who stepped down in the short time since the draft. Frick is a bit of an interesting case for the Yeti, while he is a high earner who is well past my mark for being a hit, he was traded to Philly for only a 5th round pick. This might be the only case where I have to label a high earning as a bad pick, but turning a 2nd round pick into a 5th rounder feels like a clear BUST for Colorado (Batista is a good player but Philly will be the team that benefits the most from this pick)
With the last pick in the 2nd round the San Jose Sabercats select Xmus Flaxon Jaxon-Waxon
Someone who hold two league jobs one as a DSFL Sim Assistant and the other on Events. ConnorM is not a bad pick for SJS, however at this current moment he misses the mark for being a hit for me, as he currently has 539 TPE which unfortunately is under the bar I set, so Jaxon-Waxon get a MEH
This round also had alot of high earners, the bar I set for MEH/HIT was walked significantly more closely than in the first round. When I do the third round I will lower the bar a little to reflect that
