(S22) - PT3 - Boom or Bust - ScorpXCracker - 05-17-2020
I think that one of the worst DSFl draft picks of all time was Ryan Leaf Jr. The Ryan Leaf Jr pick made no sense at all for the Kansas City Coyotes, and the value that they lost in that pick was very much. The worst part about the pick, was that the Kansas City Coyotes already had a quarterback. A maxed out quarterback none the less. This quarterback was Rose Jenkins. They had no need for a quarterback right here, and taking one made absolutely no sense. Quarterback by committee is a lot more prevalent in the DSFL lately, because of the huge classes that we have been having, but this was not a thing back then. Multiple other other teams still had a need for quarterback, so it was not like the Kansas City Coyotes were taking one so that an active would have a spot and some play time. The Coyotes ended up only winning two games that year, and maybe if they had got a position of need, they would have won more. Ryan Leaf Jr ended up being traded to the best DSFL team, the Norfolk Seawolves, for a 5th round pick. A 5th round pick in the s16 draft was useless, and I do not even think that there were enough players for that too work. So, the Coyotes effectively flushed a 3rd round pick in an insanely loaded class down the toilet.

Well, there's so many possibilities to choose from. For me, I haven't been around that much in NSFL, even though I've had a player since S1 basically. (There might have been a season between my 2nd and 3rd players). So, there's probably a lot of players and a lot of busts that I'm not familiar with. There is one, that I consider a bust, that I'm pretty familiar with though. The aforementioned 2nd player, my own Luke Smyles. Smyles was a defensive end, taken 4th overall in S12. I peaked at about 450 TPE. There were a number of notable players taken after me in the draft, and though I had some decent seasons, there was nothing exceptionally great about Smyles' career. I don't even know what his final career stats were. The players taken in the 4 picks immediately after Smyles were James Bishop, Thorian Skarsgard, Grayson Kuusela, and Axel Hornbacher. Pretty elite company after a very mediocre selection in Smyles. I'm not even sure what Smyles' final career numbers were, because they aren't really anywhere in the top 10. The guys taken after him sure are though. Smyles was definitely a bust. It just wasn't interesting for me, being defensive line. I can accept that I was a bust, and the quality taken after me definitely makes it look worse in hindsight.

The worst pick in the history of the NSFL has to also be the first pick, Otters first selection in the S1 NSFL draft, DT J.J. Reigns. This player would never even pass 200 TPE, and would switch from his position from DT to WR very quickly. Eventually he would bounce all over the league, the first pick in the history of the league now just a journeyman. So why is this pick such a bad one? let me explain
First of all, the user behind this pick, Shaka, would quickly become the GM of the team. You would think this would be good, but instead under him he would not be able to win the conference, and instead leave the next season with no clear successor in place. Once the OCO GM controversy was solved and things were stabilized, OCO would finally win not just one trophy, but three trophies in a row! Thats one of the main reasons I believe this is so bad, not only did he hold the team back as a player, but as a GM as well.
The other reason was because there was a clear first overall pick to choose! commissioner Ballerstorm was skipped over to pick this bust of a player. Ballerstorms player, WR Josh Garden, now resides in the NSFL Hall of Fame, further illustrating just how much the Otters fucked up here
