First off, what a great idea for a PT. Hats off to Mojo for this one. I think the one that I want to focus on is what if Portland had actually drafted Crunk with the first pick in the S24 DSFL draft. For those not in the know, Portland really, REALLY liked Crunk. Understandably though, they went with a recreate, Raven, as their first selection. They again passed on Crunk in the second for Dan Foster from user Arkz. Don't get me wrong, those are two solid picks. However, had they selected Crunk with one of those, he certainly would not have fallen to London in the second. Crunk was a large part of London's success my rookie year, along with several other members of that draft class. Part of this was sim testing. S24 London was a sim testing powerhouse and I believe is a significant reason they had success in the Ultimini. It is possible Portland might have instead won in London's place. Also interesting to think about would be who London would have selected here. According to Syl, London got their top 3 guys with their first 3 picks. So I imagine that platanocat would have been the pick here, a round eariler than where he was drafted.
