(S5) - PT 1- Rookies - speculadora - 12-20-2017
The rookie I'm most excited to follow this season is kicker-slash-punter Dean Jackson. This is a guy who really puts the 'foot' in football, man. Wow. Taking a special teams player in the top 5 picks is a really ballsy move, which adds that much more intrigue to Jackson's rookie season. To be honest, the fans might really hate this guy by the end of the season. If I had to grade his intelligence on a 100-point scale, I'd probably give him a 62. But so what if he's dumb as a sack of bricks? This guy can kick the heck out of a football and, lucky for him, that's what Arizona will be asking him to do. How can we justify Jackson's draft position, though? Well for starters you kill two birds with one stone as Dean fills in at both kicker and punter. Jackson might kill two birds with a football with how hard he kicks it. Another worthwhile note is that the battle for field position is how weak coaches justify making poor decisions on 4th down. Jackson will really save the coaches butt when he decides to kick a field goal when it's 4th and one inside the 20, or when he decides to punt inside enemy territory on 4th and short. So there you have it. I'm looking forward to seeing how this guy lives up to his already impressive billing.

Ok so first thing is first. How in the world did John Wachter drop all the way down to number 3 in the draft? I think that there may have been an error and someone accidentally misspelled his difficult name to Carlito Crush and missed on a turn of the century player. Now don't get me wrong, Carlito Crush is a great pickup for the Yeti, but was he great enough for number 1 overall in the draft?
There is a reason John Wachter won so many awards at the DSFL, he absolutely dominated. We haven't seen a receiver quite like this in years, I don't think we've seen a single PLAYER this good in years. There is no ceiling for this kid, he can be the best player we will ever see in the history of the NSFL. And i'm serious, he was the best player on the clear cut best team and DSFL champions, the Portland Pythons.
Now maybe i'm wrong, maybe this kid can't deal with the elite of the elite corners of the NFSL, it may take him time to have a near 2000 yard season. But I am almost certain we'll see the name John Wachter etched into the highest ranks of the NSFL Hall of Fame.

204 wordsNow that the draft has been completed and rookies have joined their brand-new teams, I am looking forward to seeing how John Wachter makes an impact on the now stacked wide receiver corps of the Baltimore Hawks. It is evident that he’s the most inexperienced of a corps that includes Trey Willie, Alexandre LeClair and Stormblessed but he has all the tools at his disposal to make an immediate impact and show the NSFL that his amazing season in the DSFL was not a fluke. A season on the championship winning Portland Pythons that saw him amass 1144 yards and 5 touchdowns and eventually clean house in the awards show, collecting DSFL’s Most Outstanding Player award, Offensive Rookie of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year and MVP as voted by the GMs & head office.
With such a resumé, expectations will be high and 500+ yards with 3+ touchdowns are not in the realm of impossibility. Stormblessed hasn’t shown the greatest signs of longevity and with enough effort on his part, I would not be surprised to see Wachter take the 3rd receiver slot away from him by mid-season. He should be a contender for offensive rookie of the year in the NSFL.

The DSFL draftee that could make a massive difference to his team is tight end Clown Baby for the Tijuana Luchadores. Think about it, the top 3 rounds or so are all pretty much locks to be active. Maybe they won't all be exactly the same amount of active, but still definitely the vast majority of them will be at least decent players. An 8th rounder? If he can become something, the team is set. That could be said of all late picks, but Clown Baby specifically just has something about him that could make for a great tight end in the league. Defensively the Luchadores made a lot of improvements, and so while they'll all contribute, no particular one stands out. A tight end that could contribute to the passing game with receptions and to the running game with blocks, on the other hand? Absolutely something to watch out for, and Clown Baby could end up being the steal of the draft. The same could potentially be said of other picks in that vicinity, such as Poopyface Tomatonose or Egan Winter, but Clown Baby has a history that could produce unexpected results from the 8th round and if he does, the Luchadores are well on their way to success in the upcoming season.

Portland Pythons legend Carlito Crush has to be the best and most exciting rookie from the draft. It’s pretty unanimous based on all the posts I read. I can see why he was picked number one. Let’s go over his stats. First, he’s a 6’6” monster tight end who can block the shit out of people. He had 25 pancakes in the DSFL. Dude can help the Yeti big time since their quarterback apparently gets sacked a lot and needs time to throw. Second, he racked up 81 receptions, 720 yards, and 4 touchdowns to end the season. It’s like holy shit, is this guy a tight end or receiver?!? Homeboy is a stud and it’s cool to see him move on from the Pythons. He pretty much fits in any system too. If you run first, then he’ll block shit for you. If you pass first, then he will pancake block his guy and run up the middle for an easy first down. Whatever you need, Crush can do it. Hell, I’m surprised the Pythons didn’t put him as a linebacker for some games. Colorado scored big with one of the best players out of the DSFL. Portland is going to miss him big time.

Today I am writing about the rookie who excites me the most. The rookie would be none other than the man himself, Glenn McPoyal. Glenn McPoyal is coming out of the university of Cincinnati. Glenn McPoyal just got drafted by the Portland Pythons, last season championship team and possibly the best team in the league still. Glenn Mcpoyal is going to have some huge shoes to fill as he will play for the recently departed Carlito crush. Carlito crush was an absolute monster last season so who knows if Glenn Mcpoyal will even be able half as good as Carlito crush. But I think rookie Glenn McPoyal will be an absolute solid pick up for the Portland Pythons. Rookie Glenn Mcpoyal is definitely more of a catching tight end rather than a blocking tight end. He will be a huge target in the red zone for the Portland Pythons all season long. I also hope teams don't leave him open in the middle of the field because he will gash it out for a big play if you do. So in all I am very very excited to see how rookie Glenn McPoyal can help out his new team the Portland Pythons by being a strong handed tight end.

Now, I'd like to specify, when I write this, I write this from the perspective of myself, a Linebacker, not someone outside the league looking in like most.
For me? Borkus hypes me up. Now of course I could give the normal spiel about how him being the number one pick both shows how good he can be, or how high his expectations are, but I have a different take in mind. Borkus gets me so riled up, so ready to see how he does, because he is a target for players like me. He's a tall, pocket-passing, 280 pound behemoth with a bulls-eye painted directly on his back. My duty on this team as a power-rushing linebacker is to over-power my lineman and just wreck guys like him, hitting them into the dirt over and over again. On top of that, since he's a #1 overall pick, you know he's gonna do well, which means I'll just get more rushes called for myself. I get to try and stop him. I get to rush him, and I get to sack him, I get to try and pound in the message that it's gonna be tough from here on out, and I get to force him into making mistakes. I have a goal to aim for when he gets on the field, and that is what makes me hyped up about him. So hey, if you're reading this Borkus, watch your back on the field, because I'll be coming for you. Every. Single. Play.
I would, however, like to end this by saying I have the utmost respect for him as a player, and as a person. I'm so happy he got the first pick of the draft, and I hope the best for him. Just not in a game with me on a defense, of course.

Man. I don't know how to describe Carlito Crush other than a freak of nature. He is a great teammate and a future superstar. Playing with him in Portland was a great honor and I can't wait to see him in our match-up against the Yeti this coming season.
He has a lot of potential and can really help a team in the passing game against man coverage. Being a large receiver creates a lot of match-up problems for the defense. He lead the DSFL in receiving for TE and competed with the top receivers as well. He is going to be a key piece for the Yeti's success in the future having a reliable option to throw to at any point in the game. If the defense slips into a cover 1 to attempt to throw a extra safety upon Crush there is going to be a whole lot of room to any other receiver on the wide side of the field. Don't worry though, in a double team I guarantee that ball is gonna be caught.
I would believe that Nicholas Pierno is going to have a lot of good things to say about this man by the end of the season. I can't wait to have Crush show how the Pythons do it.

This last draft was filled with a lot of potential superstars. But one in particular stands out to me and I think she will be amazing in every aspect. Tegan Atwell. The newest addition to the Orange County Otters secondary. I don’t expect a phenomenal rookie year like some other studs in the past, but I definitely see her making an impact and continuing her growth and she becomes the best in the league. There was a time that it was believed that a woman could never compete in this game. They didn't have the physique or the proper skill set to achieve anything. This has been completely debunked by the recent influx of female players like Tegan. This sets a new precedent for the future and we will see many like her in the future. I can see her being like a leaf in the wind out there, turning on a dime and possibly some quarterbacks not being able to see her wading in the backfield. She is going to snipe that ball out of receivers hands and take it to the house. The only limit is herself. I can't wait to see her in the hall of fame. She may be the first female inducted and it would be a feat of epic proportions.
