*The Season 26 Draftees (so far) (part two - midseason) - OrbitingDeath - 10-26-2020 The Season 26 Draftees (so far) (part two - midseason) Since the last updates (the standings of week 1 tpe updates processed) we saw a few more waivers joining the league. So these players will now also be included. In terms of the position switches, I have not paid actual attention, but there is one that caught my eye. The Portland Pythons Wide receiver Johnathan Smith has moved to kicker/punter. But without further delay, let's have a look at the current TPE Rankings When looking at the overall standings, you notice the top is really close to each other. This really shows that whoever you continue to select in your draft, you probably can’t go wrong with any of these players. Especially from pick 5 to 12, it’s only a 5 tpe difference. This class might not have the high total players, but they are certainly competitive towards eachother Cobra Kai - RB - Dallas Birddogs - 228 TPE Ernest Lover - DE - London Royals - 227 TPE Richard Littlewood - OL - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 225 TPE Moe Skeeter - S - Portland Pythons - 224 TPE Leonard Taylor - LB - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 218 TPE Mr. Forty-Two - RB - Norfolk Seawolves -  217 TPE Vincent Jones  - LB - Tijuana Luchadores  - 215 TPE Derek Wildstar  - S - Kansas City Coyotes  - 214 TPE Dogwood Maple  - S  Norfolk Seawolves / Raphael Delacour - WR - Norfolk Seawolves / Tugg Speedman - WR - London Royals / Lalo Salamanca - WR    Norfolk Seawolves - 213 TPE Of course this is only the general overview and we also want to see how people are doing for each position. So I’ll provide an update there! The new standings also include the current position in the draft class. So everyone can see their position compared to other prospects without having to show the same information in a big list. Defense Cornerback Last standings Slurms McKenzie - Dallas Birddogs - 103 tpe Shaq Shack - Norfolk Seawolves - 55 tpe H.H. Hopkins - Kansas City Coyotes - 50 tpe Bruce Brucie - Minnesota Grey Ducks - 50 tpe Royce Anderson - Norfolk Seawolves - 50 tpe New standings Slurms McKenzie - Dallas Birddogs - 30th overall - 149 tpe Bruce Brucie - Minnesota Grey Ducks - 59th overall - 57 tpe Shaq Shack - Norfolk Seawolves - 62ndth overall - 55 tpe H.H. Hopkins - Kansas City Coyotes - 64th overall - 50 tpe Royce Anderson - Norfolk Seawolves - 64th overall - 50 tpe The partyworm Slurms McKenzie holds his lead over the other cornerbacks in the draft class and that goes without any doubt. As he is blazing at lightspeed away from the others. In term of the draft class tpe he has not changed much compared to the week 1 rankings, as he falls from 29th in terms of tpe to 30th. Waiver claim Bruce Brucie passed the others as he has likely done one week of updates with a free training and an activity check. He and the others will need a lot of work before becoming a worthwhile selection in the upcoming draft. Defensive End Last standings Ernest Lover - London Royals - 184 tpe Makoto Otawara - Minnesota Grey Ducks  - 148 tpe Byakuya Togami - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 92 tpe Dimitrius Rogers - Norfolk Seawolves  - 69 tpe Demon Jaxson - Portland Pythons - 65 tpe Pope Francis - Dallas Birddogs - 64 tpe New standings: Ernest Lover - London Royals - 2nd overall - 227 tpe Makoto Otawara - Minnesota Grey Ducks  - 20th overall -  195 tpe Demon Jaxson - Portland Pythons - 27th overall - 161 tpe Byakuya Togami - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 37th overall - 123 tpe Pope Francis - Dallas Birddogs - 44th overall - 104 tpe Dimitrius Rogers - Norfolk Seawolves  - 53rd overall - 69 tpe On defensive end the chances are a big higher, while Ernest Lover and Makoto Otawara hold their ground, it is the waiver pickup Demon Jaxson who stormed the rankings. He knocks Togami 1 place down and Rogers two spots. The other riser here is Pope Francis, who has climbed to the 5th place of the defensive ends. In terms of their draft class, Lover (1 spot), Otawara (5 spots) and Togami (4 spots) lost some ground, while Jaxson is one of the biggest risers with 19 spots gained. Pope Francis on his turn also gained 4 overall spots. Rodgers has not gained tpe since the last check, so he will likely not continue to improve. Defensive Tackle Last standings Redbeard McFredbeard - Kansas City Coyotes -111 tpe Primo Berto - Dallas Birddogs - 84 tpe Ben Siegel - London Royals - 65 tpe New Standings: Redbeard McFredbeard - Kansas City Coyotes - 33rd overall - 142 tpe Primo Berto - Dallas Birddogs - 43rd overall - 107 tpe Ben Siegel - London Royals - 56th overall - 65 tpe While the top 3 has not changed, they all have one thing in common and that is that they all are losing ground compared to the rest of the draft class. While their positions have not changed within the Defensive Tackle class, McFredbeard lost 6 spots, Berto lost 7 spots and Siegel lost 10 spots as a lot of lower ranked people have passed the 65 tpe while Siegel had not updated since the previous rankings. Linebackers Last standings: Vincent Jones - Tijuana Luchadores - 169 tpe Bambam McMullet - Tijuana Luchadores - 156 tpe Leonard Taylor - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 150 tpe Big Slammu - Dallas Birddogs - 144 tpe A.J Lucas - Kansas City Coyotes - 116 tpe Erik Kirkland - Dallas Birddogs - 115 tpe Logan Sarrasin - London Royals - 97 tpe Ty Tyson - Portland Pythons - 74 tpe Jackson Maine - Kansas City Coyotes - 67 tpe Chet Larson - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 67 tpe New standings Leonard Taylor - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 5th overall - 218 tpe Vincent Jones - Tijuana Luchadores - 7th overall - 215 tpe Bambam McMullet - Tijuana Luchadores - 14th overall - 211 tpe Big Slammu - Dallas Birddogs - 21nd overall - 194 tpe A.J Lucas - Kansas City Coyotes - 26th overall - 168 tpe Logan Sarrasin - London Royals - 29th overall - 150 tpe Chet Larson - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 35th overall - 126 tpe Erik Kirkland - Dallas Birddogs - 41th overall - 114 tpe Ty Tyson - Portland Pythons - 48th overall - 92 tpe Jackson Maine - Kansas City Coyotes - 54th overall - 67 tpe For the linebackers the biggest change we see is that Leonard Taylor is finally showing why the Buccaneers picked him up early in the draft. While being behind Jones and McMullet in tpe the last time around, he has picked up the pace and went past them. While the difference is still small, he did had a lower starting point from the last time, so a nice jump. His jump was also good for rising 7 spots compared to his other draft class members. Jones and McMullet are also holding tight in the top, but with -3 and -5 spots respectively they have fallen a bit compared to week 1. Big Slammu and AJ Lucas both lost two spots compared to the rest, so have a bit smaller fall. After Taylor the first player to rise compared to his peers is Sarrasin, who went from the 7th to 6th linebacker as Kirkland fell off. Kirkland actually lost 1 tpe compared to the last rankings due to having updated wrong. He got audited but has not been seen since. Kirkland lost 16 spots, Tyson lost 8 spots and Maine lost 11 spots amongst the other draftees. Waiver claim Chet Larson however has made the jump from 10th best linebacker to 7th and has gained 8 spots amongst the others. A nice step forward to boosting his draft ranking for him. Safety Last standings Dogwood Maple - Norfolk Seawolves - 166 tpe Derek Wildstar - Kansas City Coyotes - 161 tpe Moe Skeeter - Portland Pythons - 148 tpe Caven McRae - London Royals - 101 tpe Evan Jones - Portland Pythons - 74 tpe Tony Bull - Minnesota Grey Ducks - 50 tpe New standings: Moe Skeeter - Portland Pythons - 4th overall - 224 tpe Derek Wildstar - Kansas City Coyotes - 8rd overall - 214 tpe Dogwood Maple - Norfolk Seawolves - 9th overall - 213 tpe Caven McRae - London Royals - 32nd overall - 146 tpe Evan Jones - Portland Pythons - 35th overall - 126 tpe Jonathan Shuffleboard - Tijuana Luchadores - 42nd overall - 113 tpe “Captain” John Price - London Royals - 51st overall - 77 tpe Tony Bull - Minnesota Grey Ducks - 64th overall - 50 tpe Two new players here with Shuffleboard and John Price, who turn out to be great waiver pickups. But for the safety we can say Moe Skeeter is the big story of the season. Where he was just the third safety behind Maple and Wildstar he has now passed them a few weeks later, jumping to the 4th overall position amongst all draftees. Wildstar and Maple are still real solid safeties as well and their performance is still fantastic, but it feels like Skeeter skyrocketed to the top. McRae has remained steady in the fourth spot amongst safeties, while Jones stepped in fifth position. When you compare him to others he jumped 5 spots in total. Tony Bull has yet to be found after the draft and is in the last overall spot with still having base tpe. Offense Offensive Line Last standings: Richard Littlewood - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers  - 183 tpe Alexander Franklin - Minnesota Grey Ducks - 152 tpe Laxus Dreyar - Kansas City Coyotes - 86 tpe Maiteers Rico-Shea - Tijuana Luchadores - 77 tpe Jack Cobb - Tijuana Luchadores - 50 tpe New standings: Richard Littlewood - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 3rd overall - 225 tpe Alexander Franklin - Minnesota Grey Ducks - 22nd overall - 185 tpe Maiteers Rico-Shea - Tijuana Luchadores - 31st overall - 147 tpe Laxus Dreyar - Kansas City Coyotes - 40th overall - 119 tpe Jack Cobb - Tijuana Luchadores - 64th overall - 50 tpe Littlewood keeps his lead over the rest of the class, which is no coincedence as he’s the 3rd best earner in the draft this far. Alexander Franklin has likely lost some tasks here and there as he lost 11 spots compared to other draftees, but he remains the second offensive lineman in the rankings.  Maiteers Rico-Shea has jumped a spot amongst his peers. He also gained six spots with the other draftees in play. The opposite goes for Laxus Dreyar, his 119 tpe lists him at 40th amongst draftees, five spots lower as the last time. Jack Cobb has also not been seen and is a member of the ‘never having updated’ class. Kicker / punter Last standings: Gluteus Maximus - Minnesota Grey Ducks - 118 tpe Something McDerpants - London Royals - 106 tpe New standings: Gluteus Maximus - Minnesota Grey Ducks - 25th overall - 172tpe Something McDerpants - London Royals - 39th overall - 120 tpe Johnathan Smith - Portland Pythons - 52nd overall - 74 tpe Maximus really jumped away from the competition and a 12 point lead has been increased to a 52 point lead over the next kicker / punter. The new kid on the block is former wide receiver Johnathan Smith who moved from the wide receiver position to become a kicker. Both Maximus as Smith lost a small amount of positions compared to the other draftees. McDerpants however lost 11 spots in total. Tight End Last standings: Jaja Ding Dong - Minnesota Grey Ducks - 156 tpe Tom Teboat - Norfolk Seawolves - 131 tpe Owmy Back - Kansas City Coyotes - 54 tpe New standings: Tom Teboat - Norfolk Seawolves - 13th overall - 212 tpe Jaja Ding Dong - Minnesota Grey Ducks - 17th overall - 203 tpe Owmy Back - Kansas City Coyotes - 55th overall - 66 tpe John Johnson - Dallas Birddogs - 63rd overall - 52 tpe Another take over can be found in the tight end standings. The baseball player Tom Teboat now has the most tpe amongst tight ends as he has surpassed Jaja Ding Dong. The gain of Teboat is not only noticeable amongst his position, but he also gained 8 spots amongst the other draftees. Jaja Ding Dong on the other hand has lost 8 spots in this ranking, bumping him down to the 17th overall position while he was still top 10 the last time around. It’s still good for a solid position in the draft rankings. Owmy Back has also gained 1 spot amongst the other draftees Running Back Last standings Cobra Kai - Dallas Birddogs - 173 tpe Mr Forty-Two - Norfolk Seawolves - 168 tpe Akil Ozymandias - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 134 tpe Big Chungus - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 77 tpe Rocky Jackman - Portland Pythons - 67 tpe Sirdsvaldis Miglasķēms - Dallas Birddogs - 50 tpe New standings Cobra Kai - Dallas Birddogs - 1st overall - 228 tpe Mr Forty-Two - Norfolk Seawolves - 6th overall - 217 tpe Akil Ozymandias - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 23rd overall - 184 tpe Rocky Jackman - Portland Pythons - 45th overall - 103 tpe Big Chungus - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 46th overall - 99 tpe Sirdsvaldis Miglasķēms - Dallas Birddogs - 50th overall - 79 tpe Small changes amongst the running backs in the meantime. Just like the last time the top 3 looks rock solid and has an 80 point lead over the other running backs. But Rocky Jackman of the Portland Pythons did jump from being the fifth running back on the list to become the fourth. This however was not good enough to jump a spot compared to other draftees. While it are minor losses, Mr Forty-Two (1 spot), Akil Ozymandias (3 spots) and Rocky Jackman (2 spots) all dropped down a small bit. While Big Chungus dropped 9 spots. Kai took over the lead as general tpe leader amongst rookies, making him also jump up two spots in this regard. Miglasķēms had not updated yet the last time around, so seeing him at 79 tpe now has made him jump 7 spots compared to his position the last time. Quarterback Last standings Lebron James III - Portland Pythons - 146 tpe Ryan Negs - Minnesota Grey Ducks  - 122 tpe Emi Rune - Norfolk Seawolves - 57 tpe New standings Lebron James III - Portland Pythons - 15th overall - 209 tpe Ryan Negs - Minnesota Grey Ducks - 18th overall - 199 tpe Emi Rune - Norfolk Seawolves - 34th overall - 131 tpe The quarterbacks always seem to be the hardest position to get a spot in the major leagues, so the three quarterbacks this year know they will have to step it up a notch to be able to fight for a future starting spot. This advice they have actually taken at heart as since the last tpe standings all three quarterbacks gained positions compared to their draftees. Three spots for Lebron, four spots for Ryan Negs and seventeen spots for Rune, who was claimed off waivers by Norfolk. Wide Receiver Last rankings: Raphael Delacour - Norfolk Seawolves - 166 tpe Tugg Speedman - London Royals - 149 tpe Mario Messi - Portland Pythons - 149 tpe Arthur Naught - Kansas City Coyotes - 148 tpe Quavious McGrady - Tijuana Luchadores - 115 tpe Schumi Hulkenvettel - London Royals - 98 tpe Jalen Washington - Minnesota Grey Ducks - 92 tpe Bismo Funyuns - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 76 tpe Tater Tosser - Kansas City Coyotes - 62 tpe Julian Jurevicius - Tijuna Luchadores - 62 tpe John Smith - Dallas Birddogs -  57 tpe Dick Grayson - Minnesota Grey Ducks - 57 tpe Johnathan Smith - Portland Pythons - 57 tpe Johnny Football - Dallas Birddogs - 50 tpe Joey Brady - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 50 tpe Lalo Salamanca - Norfolk Seawolves - 50 tpe Kemorian Moore -Tijuna Luchadores - 50 tpe New rankings Raphael Delacour - Norfolk Seawolves - 9th overall - 213 tpe Tugg Speedman - London Royals - 9th overall - 213 tpe Lalo Salamanca - Norfolk Seawolves - 9th overall - 213 tpe Mario Messi - Portland Pythons - 16th overall - 207 tpe Arthur Naught - Kansas City Coyotes - 19th overall - 196 tpe Quavious McGrady - Tijuana Luchadores - 24nd overall - 177 tpe Schumi Hulkenvettel - London Royals - 28th overall - 157 tpe Jalen Washington - Minnesota Grey Ducks - 38th overall 121 tpe Bismo Funyuns - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 47th overall - 94 tpe Dick Grayson - Minnesota Grey Ducks - 49th overall - 91 tpe Tater Tosser - Kansas City Coyotes - 57th overall - 62 tpe Julian Jurevicius - Tijuna Luchadores - 57th overall - 62 tpe John Smith - Dallas Birddogs - 59th overall - 57 tpe Kemorian Moore -Tijuna Luchadores - 59th overall - 57 tpe Johnny Football - Dallas Birddogs - 64th overall - 50 tpe Joey Brady - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 64th overall - 50 tpe Biggest Jump / Hardest Fall So which prospects made the highest jumps or fallen the most. Lets have a look at the top 5 for each of the options Biggest Jump Lalo Salamanca - Norfolk Seawolves - 9th overall - 213 tpe (+48) Demon Jaxson - Portland Pythons - 27th overall - 161 tpe (+19) Emi Rune - Norfolk Seawolves - 34th overall - 131 tpe (+17) Moe Skeeter - Portland Pythons - 4th overall - 224 tpe (+11) Tom Teboat - Norfolk Seawolves - 13th overall - 212 tpe & Chet Larson - Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - 35th overall - 126 tpe (+8) Hardest Fall Erik Kirkland - Dallas Birddogs - 41th overall - 114 tpe (-16) Alexander Franklin - Minnesota Grey Ducks - 22nd overall - 185 tpe & Something McDerpants - London Royals - 106 tpe & Dimitrius Rogers - Norfolk Seawolves  - 53rd overall - 69 tpe & Jackson Maine - Kansas City Coyotes - 54th overall - 67 tpe (-11) The biggest jump is something we saw coming last week as Salamanca submitted a major update while still being at base tpe. The Waiver claims surely do nice work here with Jaxson at 2, Rune at 3 and Larson at a shared 5th spot. The hardest fall is Kirkland, but a lot of competition for spots 2 until 5, as all four of these players fallen 11 spaces compared to the last rankings. Hope you enjoyed the read!
