The draft is always an exciting time for the league and there is perhaps no more an exciting draft then the S23 DSFL draft for the London Royals, a team I GM’ed at the time. I would argue that this was by far the strongest draft in DSFL history, and resulted in some fantastic prospects.
With our Round one pick (seventh overall) we selected the future first overall pick in the ISFL Maglubiyet. Mag was one of my absolute favorite prospects on the board, and has certainly proven his value as a top level user in this league since joining. We were thrilled to pick him here, and he would eventually become a GM for the Royals.
Round two we selected Garnuk, and then traded him to move back to select Busch Light. Light was a key piece of our defense for several seasons and served as a HO intern for a period of time.
Grabbing Abh in Round three was an absolute masterclass in drafting. He’s easily one of my favorite people in the league, and helped form and shape London into the team it is today as a GM, absolutely love this guy and he was an absolute steal in the third.
Round five saw us adding Tre’Darius J,Vathon, the best Third Wide Receiver the DSFL has ever seen.
Round 6 is really when the magic happened for us though. Frank Michell, Charlamagne Cortez, and Gunner Thorbjornnson. Frank and Charlamagne both played for the maximum number of seasons for the team, and are absolute London legends. Gunner, while slightly shorter lived for London has gone on to GM at the ISFL level and been very successful in his own right with the Arizona Outlaws.
