In my opinion, the biggest “what if” scenario that involves me personally is my draft position during the season 22 ISFL draft. I’m not one to complain about where I was drafted, and in fact took on my late position as a challenge to try and prove I was a steal. It still crosses my mind to wonder about what would have happened if I were taken earlier though. To put it in perspective, I was the 7th RB taken in the draft class and fell to the 7th round. Flash forward to today, and according to the tracker I am currently the 3rd highest TPE RB in that draft class. The running backs taken before me were White Goodman, Kichwa Jones, Tatsu Nakamura, Acura Skyline, Julio Tirtawidjaja, and Jamar Lackson. Jackson and Nakamura are the two ahead of me, and in all fairness Goodman (now Kane-Maikai) is ahead of me as well, but playing a different position. Of those remaining, Jones, Tirtawidjaja, and Skyline have all gone inactive in the meantime, capping between 550 and 950 TPE. While I’m proud of landing in Colorado and would prefer to finish my career there, I have to wonder how things would have worked out differently for both my own player and those teams had I been drafted there instead of the user who ended up going IA. Austin especially is one I think about often, given that Jones was the first to fall off and set them back a couple seasons before they found Kya.
