Joel Drake is my first player, and my first experience in any sim league. As such I had no idea what to expect in the weeks leading up to my DSFL draft. I was trying to boost my draft stock however I could through earning money and TPE, and responding timely to any scouting conversations. Given this was my first ever player, I did not expect to go too high, and I had no idea as to what team I would prefer to join. So I was shocked when I was taken as a top 10 selection to the Portland Pythons, a place I have now grown to love, as the second selection in the 2nd round. As for the ISFL draft, at the time following my first DSFL season I had a bit more experience and knowledge about the league and so I had a list of places I wanted to go. They were, in no particular order, Colorado, Yellowknife, and Baltimore(lmao). The reason for each was different. For Baltimore, it was simply because they were my favorite team in real life, so I would’ve liked to go there in the game. For Yellowknife I liked the idea of joining a team and helping them get over the top to a championship after so many failed attempts, and for Colorado I just wanted to join a winner on the up and up. As you know, I ended up going at the exact same spot in the ISFL draft as the DSFL draft, with the second pick in the second round. Though this one was sweeter as I was traded up for, and if I do say so myself, I think I’ve made that trade worth it.
