*NSFC S15 Draft Recap/Grades - Duilio05 - 05-05-2019 [div align=\\\"center\\\"]NSFC[/div] When I first posted my Draft Recap I had the NSFC and ASFC in one media post. Turns out it broke jcink. So I have split the two conferences one in each media post. Please Check out the first one Here *Hopefully my fellow Baltimore teammates won't notice Philadelphia is now included...* [div align=\\\"center\\\"]Baltimore Hawks [/div] Top Needs: Unknown - No consensus from the experts. Draftees: 11 Total, 5 of Top 50 S Fatih Terim @[Eco] Central Grizzlies 211:211 2.02 S Walt Green @[Duilio05] Atlantic Blackbirds 220:281 2.07 RB Dorfus Jimbo @[ScorpXCracker] Central Grizzlies 177:177 3.03 LB Marquees Acho @[Huskies311] Atlantic Blackbirds 181:181 4.03 RB Ludicolo Bigby @[TheWoZy] Pacific Owls 143:143 5.07 OL Jacob Rowan @[Vedin] Atlantic Blackbirds 72:72 6.03 WR Luca Ramero @[Ramero] Atlantic Blackbirds 50:50 9.07 QB TJ Hendriz @[TJH] Atlantic Blackbirds 65:65 10.07 DE Memphis Wilkerson @[ShackDad] Pacific Owls 50:50 11.07 LB Jameis Harrison @[NextJamesHarrison] Midwest Wolfpack 50:50 12.07 CB Christopher Loren @[hazi_snazzy] Southwest Foxes 50:50 13.07 Apparently Baltimore’s biggest Need was Safety as they took the first and second best safeties in the class. Rotating Fatih and Green in and out next to Oats should create an instant No Fly Zone. The Baltimore GM’s may also be sending a subtle hint at their current -5% TPE earning starting Running Back, as they drafted two Running Backs in the first five rounds. [div align=\\\"center\\\"]**some favoritism may have been displayed when describing S15 safety rankings.**[/div] Baltimore Draft Grade: A+ for getting the two best safeties in the draft. [div align=\\\"center\\\"]**more favoritism may have been displayed regarding specific S15 safeties.**[/div] [div align=\\\"center\\\"]Chicago Butchers[/div] Top Needs: All except Wide Receiver Draftees: 13 Total, 5 of Top 50 LB Lightsout Lewis @[flyeaglesfly29] Atlantic Blackbirds 205:273 1.06 CB Xerxes Ridley @[plantane] Atlantic Blackbirds 217:285 2.06 LB Guy Nikko @[Duress] Central Grizzlies 207:207 3.06 S Jack Rambo @[oz3700] Pacific Owls 161:161 4.06 TE Timmy Hoss @[smaxx77] Central Grizzlies 186:191 5.06 RB Ben Bortboy @[spinarnie] Pacific Owls 159:159 6.06 DE Trevon Simmons @[Tyreke] - 50:50 7.06 S Avery Thomas @[Tesoroano7] Midwest Wolfpack 69:69 8.06 WR Andre Thornton @[Drizzy] Southwest Foxes 50:50 9.06 K Paul DiMirio @[Nykonax] Atlantic Blackbirds 50:50 10.06 CB Neon Demon @[kissthe6rings] Pacific Owls 50:50 11.06 DT Poster Nutbag @[Thee_Autumn_Wind] Atlantic Blackbirds 50:50 12.06 LB Buddha Lebowski @[BuddhaLebowski] Southwest Foxes 50:50 13.06 The Butchers got a lot of depth in this draft. They managed to get a 150+ TPE player in the 6th round. In that same draft round, only two other players were above 100 TPE (pre Ryan Leaf resurgence). That is some good scouting and draft attention. Chicago has built a good foundation for their defense. While Lightsout Lewis and Guy Nikko may have been overlooked by teams for other Linebackers, this combo should work very well together, while Ridley and Rambo circle around them. Draft Grade: A- While maybe unfair, both expansions teams will constantly be pitted against each other for the next few seasons. Playing into that story line Chicago finished the draft with 4 more players than Austin. [div align=\\\"center\\\"]Colorado Yeti [/div] Top Needs: Defensive Line, Secondary, Quarterback, Running Back, Linebacker Draftees: 8 Total, 5 of Top 50 LB Mo Berry @[Frick_Nasty] Pacific Owls 220:279 2.01 LB Tony Gabagool @[shipwreckrising] Pacific Owls 199:230 3.02 RB Terry Taffy @[KingCollins] Southwest Foxes 216:230 4.01 S Quentin Sinclair @[MaxGnarland] Atlantic Blackbirds 154:188 4.07 QB Jay Longshaw @[dropbear] Midwest Wolfpack 198:198 5.03 DE Frasier Crane @[TheFlash] Central Grizzlies 106:106 6.02 WR Mr. Big Chest @[feral_squirrel] Southwest Foxes 82:82 7.02 QB Apollo Lange @[RohnJobert] Atlantic Blackbirds 139:139 7.07 Despite coming into this draft behind the 8 ball after a few ill timed trades in previous seasons(hindsight hurts), this team was still able fill in all of their holes. Maybe not as thoroughly or as deeply as they’d like, but this should be a great start for rebuilding this team. This team may have successfully drafted the most steals in the draft. They got one of the Fab V despite trading out of the first round, and paired Berry with a great teammate in Gabagool. Whether any of these players immediately start will be determined if the GM’s feel they should continue to tank or not to take advantage of the expansion draft. Additionally, they got two of the six available quarterbacks. Draft Grade: B They managed to turn a bad draft situation into a positive outcome. [div align=\\\"center\\\"]Philadelphia Liberty [/div] Top Needs: Linebacker, Secondary, Wide Reciever Draftees: 16 Total, 5 of Top 50 S Richard D’Attoria V @[124715] Pacific Owls 215:215 1.09 CB Emondov Emoji @[BWIII] East Cobras 248:248 2.09 WR Nacho Varga @[Fordhammer] Midwest Wolfpack 197:197 2.09 LB Rock Hardshaft @[Rouchicus] Atlantic Blackbirds 170:170 4.09 RB Farley Hank @[Beebob] Midwest Wolfpack 105:137 5.09 S Momodou Jallow @[usarice] Southwest Foxes 83:83 6.09 LB Justin Tyme @[BuddhaLebowski] Southwest Foxes 50:50 7.09 S Tigole Bitties @[Tydy22] - 67:67 8.09 CB Trey Aguilar @[jms199456] - 50:50 9.09 WR Lenard Marx @[Official_DT] - 50:50 9.02 OT Gregor Clegaine @[VossSauce14] East Cobras 50:50 10.02 WR Carlomagno Rey @[Crey23] Atlantic Blackbirds 62:62 10.09 CB David La Kre @[Krelotelli] Midwest Wolfpack 55:55 11.02 LB Michael Beckham @[MB06] - 50:50 11.09 RB Trey Moffat @[Inbob27] Atlantic Blackbirds 50:50 12.09 QB John Tebow @[TebowFam15] Midwest Wolfpack 50:50 13.09 Just like Arizona Liberty came in and got a large portion of this deep draft class. While they didn’t get as many in the Top 50 like Arizona, they still are tied with them for the most Draftees taken. They filled in all three of their Needs. While Richard D’Attoria may have been taken too early compared to a couple other safeties, he should be a great compliment with Emoji in the team’s locker room. **More favoritism may have influenced certain comments about a safety** Philadelphia Draft Grade: B+ added some good locker room vets and a lot of depth. <div align="center]Yellowknife Wraiths [/align] Top Needs: Tight End, Defensive Tackle, Running Back Draftees: 12 Total, 4 of Top 50 DE Nero Alexander @[shadyshoelace] Midwest Wolfpack 235:294 1.04 RB Morgan Marshall @[EnfysNest] East Cobras 236:293 2.04 S Logan Uchiha @[CalvinP] Pacific Owls 186:186 3.04 S Giannis Kroustis @[AirCrou] Southwest Foxes 174:174 4.04 DT Ryan Leaf Jr. @[ValorX77] Pacific Owls 93:143 6.04 S Franklin Cooper @[killerking] Midwest Wolfpack 73:73 7.04 WR Cedric Parker @[rohanm] East Cobras 66:66 8.04 DT Bill Inohi @[Sunshine] Midwest Wolfpack 59:59 9.04 LB Eric Lorentz @[PapaPlatzack] - 55:55 10.04 DT Mick Moekr @[nEEEEkolas] Southwest Foxes 50:50 11.04 CB Andrew Solomon @[ZoomerMcGee] Pacific Owls 52:52 12.04 LB Thad Castle @[Brookroyal] East Cobras 50:50 13.04 And absolute beast of a draft class. They somehow managed to get two of SA’s Fab V, and a 140+ TPE active player in round 6. These GM’s really did their research and scouting being able to sneak a few underperformers and instantly turning them into top tier talent. The only position they didn’t cover is Tight End. Expect to see Morgan Marshall fill some of that role during his first year behind Dick Wizardry. Of course thats nothing new to this guy as SA lined him up all over the field. Yellowknife Draft Grade: B+ what more to say? this team should be competitive their first season with Cooter at the helm.
