The Sarasota Sailfish had ourselves a whale of a Season 35 draft! (Terrible pun very intended.) Lets start in Round 1, where we selected the player at the top of my personal draft board, kicker Swantavius King, user @"Maglubiyet". We had Mag on our radar as soon as he created at kicker. One of the league's friendliest and most dedicated users recreating at our position of greatest need? We knew right away this was going to be a perfect match. The question was going to be, could we get him? Thankfully he was still on the board for us at Pick #10. There was a bit of internal debate about whether we could trade up and get him at the top of the second round, but the war room wisely chose not to risk it and we got our man! Mag has immediately made himself at home in the Sailfish locker room, and on the field Swantavius King has been perfect through the first two weeks of the season, including two game-winning field goals!
I'm every bit as pleased with our Round 2 selection at 24th overall, Portland DT Mistah Freddy, user @seafreddy. I had a great scouting conversation with him and talked him up as much as I could to the rest of the war room. It's always great to be able to welcome a new user to the league, and Freddy has been a great new presence in the Sailfish locker room. Along with both Maglubiyet and yours truly, he proudly wears the pink "Proud Dad" Discord tag in the locker room!
We even managed to score one of the greatest possible steals of the draft in S Daniel Sturgeon at Pick #52, user @Insurgent1315. Not as active as Mag or Freddy, but another user who's great to have in the locker room when they do stop by to visit.
The Future of the 'Fish is looking bright!
