Ultimus Week - Option #1 800 words+: Tell us about your draft class.
I think this is an awesome topic for an awesome draft class. The S28 class at first glance looked like any other, but after only a couple games of the Prospect Bowl the true character of many prospects came out in full bloom. Now, this is only in association with players who made an impact on my experience throughout my first season and by no means does it encompass all the great things people have done. There are likely great people I have not been lucky enough to interact with on a regular basis and for that, I feel sorry for them. I’m f***ing awesome.
@Gragg9 : I have started to get to know this guy more and more as the season went on and his work is incredible. Getting drafted to the Minnesota Ducks he seemed to really enjoy his time there with CC and Crody. As a prospect, I also enjoyed the Minnesota locker room and the banter there. Gragg’s work, however, is what really sets him apart. The amount of effort he’s put into his informative process and the excel sheets he puts out are top notch and if there is anyone who I think might make it to the Hall of Fame or to a GM spot, I think it’s this guy. I really hope to continue to chat with this dude and bounce ideas back and forth about creative ways to do draft/free agency media.
@Vaelynn @Amulos : I came into the league with these guys and we all went from basically unknown, new creates to some of the most active people in the league. Amulos got drafted to the Luchadores while Vaelynn and another of our buds went to the Pythons. Sadly, one of our buds went a bit more inactive due to real life being a b****, but I strongly believe that these two will be staples of the league for years to come. They are both people I can see taking on a GM role or other sort of job and make an impact on the league outside of just their players. Look out for these guys going forward!
@FootballIsCool @StadiumGambler: Another duo that came after me in the draft to the Pythons, these guys absolutely killed it this year. Footballiscool is a player I can see going to the hall of fame just on player performance and his highly active presence. StadiumGambler is very much the same as his player performed incredibly well in his rookie season, but he also puts out a good deal of media and is highly active in the locker room. Again, both these guys will be staples of the league for years to come and I see all of the above going in round 1 or early round 2.
@firstfray: Dexter MF’ing Hall. FirstFray and I had been friendly rivals all year starting in the prospect bowl and then throughout the season into the post season. I get along well with Fray and I think he’ll be a damned good user going through his career with Hall. Hall will be a surefire hall of fame candidate as he is very active and has a very friendly personality that seems to mesh with all the locker rooms I have seen him in. He may very well be my career rival and I hope we duke it out for years to come.
@Duilio05: This is a dude that I got along with right away in the prospect locker room of the Chernobyl Radioactives. Sam the Onionman, a wide receiver, drafted to Norfolk, was a bit quiet during the season with me, but I can’t speak of a nicer person to have met early on when I started. Duilio05 is a recreate, vet, who took the time to help me by answering questions and just kept a positive attitude through the prospect activities. A small sample makes a big impact and he really showed me there are a lot of supportive people here willing to help a strange newb.
Xavier Walls: Myself. I have absolutely loved the start of my career here in the sim. Statistically I did not exactly kill it, but I made sure I hit on every AC and almost had the predictions title until the last weeks of the season. I can guarantee that any team that takes me will get a future hall of famer and a career long contributor to their team. The draft is right around the corner and I foresee a ton of surprises and picks that will put people in great positions to succeed.
The rest of the class: There are so many users that I’ve heard are great and put out some insanely great media or graphics. New creates who have got along well through their first season and it just proves more and more that this class is deep with people who can develop into build arounds for teams and users that will be great assets to whichever locker rooms that take them.
P.S: If Baltimore doesn’t take me 1OA they done f***ed up. Just saying….
