Mock draft time! It has been a long time since I haven't been in a war room so I thought I would take the opportunity to do a full mock draft of the situation.
Team Needs: WR, LB, DB
Colorado are a team in serious rebuild mode and could go a number of different ways with there 1oa pick of this draft. Colorado has a series of large holes on their roster. This was always going to be a really tough call to start this mock draft with but I have decided on.
1oa – Graham Harper @PurpleReign
Colorado currently only have 4 DBs, 1 is from S25 and in deep regression and another is less than 300 TPE and inactive so serious help is needed here. Colorado are famous for having a strong presence in the Norfolk locker room so it makes perfect sense they would pick someone who has set the Norfolk locker room alight with activity (or so I heard) to become the first pick in the draft.
Team Needs: WR, DL, DB
Much like Colorado, Austin are another team in rebuild mode and thanks to some wheeling and dealing have 5 picks in the first 3 rounds of this draft to do exactly this. Now with holes at various points on the roster they again could go a number of different ways but my prediction is:
2oa – Zaphod Beeblebrox @Mooty99
Now I know what you are thinking ‘you put yourself too high’ but I have been in the Austin locker room since the start, GMed the team for 6 seasons and until this season have been a regular contributor to the War Room. Austin need wide receiver with having only 1 active on the books and another semi-high inactive so it makes sense. If of course I am not taken here then I can’t wait to go to a different ISFL team and have a ball in a new environment.
Team Needs: WR, DL, LB
New York are yet another team looking to rebuild in a series of places and that combine with the fact GM "@"zaynk” who is famously active and is known to pick the brains of DSFL GMs I am sure they have a very good idea of what users they might want. There are a number of spots they could go with this pick. In the end I have decided on:
3oa - Kevin McThumper @Chucky
I debated this pick with myself for some time as there are so many quality users this draft but in the end I went for Chucky. This is one of the most active new users in this draft and is absolutely everywhere at the moment. The combination of user and position of need means this pick makes a lot of sense.
Team Needs: DL, DB, WR
New Orleans have a well-constructed roster and while they still have holes they are slightly less glaring than the three teams picking above them. In the end I think that NOLA are really going to focus on defensive this draft so that is where I leant with this next pick.
4oa - Xavier Valorian @XaveValor
As with this whole mock draft this was a tough call but I decided on Xave. There are a number of high TPE DLs this draft including Xave but he has been the one who has stuck out to me most as a user. I know he is really well thought of in Portland and can be seen all over discord and the site.
(from ) Team Needs: WR, DL
Chicago have this pick thanks to a trade with Sarasota and must be delighted to have such a high pick for a team that are very much in contention for the playoffs now are in their immediate future. I can see Chicago grabbing their 2 positions of need in the first round of this draft and being very happy about it.
5oa - Austin Morley @soevil
In the end I went for wide receiver and there are a number of great prospects on the board for them here. I debated between my top for a while but decided on SoEvil. He is a really active new user who is already making waves as the new Kansas City coGM and I know personally what a great locker room presence he is.
Team Needs: DL, LB, DB
Berlin are another team who will likely heavily focus on defence this draft. Their offense is currently young and will start hitting its stride in a couple of seasons but their defence is aging fast and they need some fresh young players in it to make sure it can peak with the offense.
6oa - Nathan Meagher @Nathan
The defensive line for Berlin is looking very old at this point so this is where I think they will want to look for a player in the first round and with a bevy to pick from they go for Nathan. This is again a pick both due to positional need and player activity as Nathan has written a number of articles and is very active in the Bondi Beach locker room
Team Needs: WR, DL, LB
San Jose are a team sitting in the middle for a good reason, they have a decent team but not spectacular, they have some needs which are mainly to replace IA or old players but not the gaping holes of other teams.
7oa - JR Frankenstero @Punk42AE
Here there were a number of options but I thought the defensive line was a bigger position of need than wide receiver. I know one of the San Jose GMs plays in the SHL with Punk who is a great multi league max earner and it is that connection that means that they go in that direction.
Team Needs: DB, DL, RB
Philly are a team where they don’t have too many needs, they have a good young team who will be looking to make a push in a couple of seasons. With that in mind there needs are more to replace regressing players that are currently fine.
8oa - Teemo Swift, @Repgnar
Looking at this now this is a steal at 8 overall for Philly. There lack of real needs and other teams holes has let this exciting new prospect drop to them and I know they would be delighted with it. Philly need to get young players into their secondary and Repgnar is a user who has already built a superb reputation. This is potentially the steal of the first round.
Team Needs: DL
Yellowknife have built very well and look to become a team to really content before you know it. They have a young active offensive and defensive and the only real hole in the team that I could find was on the defensive line.
9oa - Jean-Ralphio Saperstein, @Fordhammer
There has been a run on defensive line in the first round and luckily for Yellowknife this class is deep in them. Yellowknife will be very happy to snatch up a league veteran like Ford at this point to both help them in the future and to brighten up their locker room.
Team Needs: WR, LB
Orange County are a team who might be a little disappointed in this past season. In my testing they had a real shot a the top spot but instead had to settle for 3rd in their conference. They are a well constructed team however they are in a couple of spots to help fill out the roster
10oa - Octavio Pérez, @Raven
Again this was a tough choice, I debated between a bunch of choices but considering OCOs reduced scouting room I thought they might go for a well known regen and who else than Raven. Raven has been in the league since pretty much the start and is one of those annoying people who everyone (including myself) likes and lights up a locker room.
Team Needs: DL, WR
11oa - Aqeel Steele, @"NonComplicit"
Well Chicago got a wide receiver so now they fill their other need on the defensive line. As always through the first round there are plenty of options but the decide to fill it out with exciting new user noncomplicit. He is certainly active on discord and Chicago will be betting that it stays that way.
Team Needs: DL, LB
Arizona always have a very well-constructed team and this season is no different. Arizona have a few different places where they need to replace older players and this is certainly the draft for it, but which hole will they fill in the first round?
12oa - Fred Edison, @Liter
A high earning linebacker seems just the ticket for Arizona in this position and Liter is a perfect person for this. Arizona have never shied away from strong personalities and Liter is certainly that. He is great fun in the locker room and an amazing sig creator and a great fit for Arizona.
(from ) Team Needs: DL, DB, WR
13oa - Ja’uan Holland, @Friesen1520
New Orleans go for back to back defence and this time they take defensive back with their pick. Now in my mock defensive backs have not gone as highly and that could be a big mistake by me, but for New Orleans it works out very well as they get to grab a top earning defensive back and another new user who is sig maestro.
Team Needs: DL, LB, DB
Honolulu are a team that have just won another Ultimus and own the top offense in the league. They do how ever have a number of points on their defence that could either do with an upgrade now or in the near future.
14oa Quendyn Quarterstorm – @Twenty6
Honolulu don’t have another pick after this till the 4th round so this pick is important. They go for Twenty6 another new user who has made a great splash both on discord and in media and a great player and user to round off the first round with.
