*The NSFL Depth Chart - S Edition - majesiu - 08-17-2018 Time has come for the better part of the defensive backs - Safeties. Th they are often used interchangeably with Cornerbacks but are also used as Linebackers. Accordingly, with previous assumptions about defensive formations, we will go with a claim that each team needs 4 DB including 2 safeties. Plan of releases: 1. 8/14 - K/P 2. 8/15 - QB 3. 8/15 - RB 4. 8/16 - DE/DE 5. 8/16 - LB 6. 8/17 - S 7. 8/17 - CB 8. 8/18 - WR/TE 9. 8/18 - League-wide picture and further analysis All values used were based on the last update of the regular season (not the playoffs one, to give all teams equal chance). Quite possible this will become a seasonal thing if there will be interest in it. A. Current Overview 1. [S4] - Blackford Oakes 917 TPE 2. [S5] - Cameron Taylor 883 TPE 3. [S6] - Jaylon Broxton 855 TPE 4. [S5] - Darren Morris 840 TPE 5. [S1] - Vikian Marmeladov 557 TPE 6. [S1] - Ja Brill 510 TPE 7. [S5] - Michael Tillman 499 TPE 8. [S2] - Marcus Kane 479 TPE 9. [S8] - William H. Harrison 419 TPE 10. [S9] - Bucky Barnes 375 TPE 11. [S2] - Allen Davis 362 TPE 12. [S1] - Jogn Floggity 359 TPE 13. [S8] - Thad Pennington 304 TPE 14. [S1] - Ryan Flock 297 TPE 15. [S1] - Alex Hansen 261 TPE 16. [S1] - Dominic Verns 254 TPE This position is definitely unique in how seasonal TPE distribution looks like. The first S1-S3 player can be found at 5th position and first four places are occupied by elite S that joined NSFL a little bit later - S4 Blackford Oakes, S5 Cameron Taylor, S6 Jaylon Broxton and S5 Darren Morris. Blue - Sum of TPE in that regression class, red - a number of players, yellow - average TPE in that class. While the top earners come from S4-S5 most of the stopgap S are still from S1-S2 and with regression hitting them as hard as ever a new generation of defensive backs will have to develop. B. Team Needs and Prospects Breakdown Each team will receive a current grade (1-10 scale), based on average TPE of players manning the position (1 - ~50 TPE, 2 ~100 TPE, 3 ~200 TPE). Next grade - future grade - is more subjective since I also tried to estimate regression impact and current prospects in the system - 10 would mean a team has a serviceable player that could last up to 8 more seasons in that position, whole 1 means they have to draft/sign a player asap in that position. It's obviously a bit more complicated since activity also matters here and the more base TPE player currently has the longer he can fight regression. Since it's much harder to get all players on top earning level I adjusted grades, so required averages for each grade are lower than in case of RB/QB so far. Current Grade / Future Grade 9/9 9/7 9/10 8/8 6/4 6/3 6/3 4/2 Prospects Watch (Interesting S9-S11 players): 1. [S8] - William H. Harrison 419 TPE 2. [S9] - Bucky Barnes 375 TPE 3. [S8] - Thad Pennington 304 TPE 4. [S9] - Alexandre Thibault 160 TPE 5. [S10] - Shannon Hobbs 159 TPE 6. [S10] - Steven Oats 105 TPE 7. [S10] - Damien Arnold 85 TPE 8. [S10] - Nate Piazza 84 TPE 9. [S10] - Frank Fort 83 TPE There are 3 great players from S8/9 that should be cornerstones of future defenses. With so many S1/S2 players regressing even not looking really great so far S10 S class, led by Shannon Hobbs, should find plenty of suitors in the upcoming draft. And to wrap this up quick values showing how many TPE you need to break into any NSFL team roster, how many decent NSFL players are on the team rosters currently and how many good prospects are in the pipeline. TPE to break into the NSFL Roster: 255 Current NSFL ready (250+) players: 16 Prospects (S8 200+ TPE, S9 150+, S10 100+): 6 *The NSFL Depth Chart - S Edition - Beaver - 08-17-2018 Glad all the high TPE S1 and 2 safeties retired just in time to let me be the top of this list. *The NSFL Depth Chart - S Edition - bovovovo - 08-17-2018 big time changing of the guard at the S position... excited to see what the young guys can do *The NSFL Depth Chart - S Edition - timeconsumer - 08-17-2018 That S6 safety draft class *The NSFL Depth Chart - S Edition - run_CMC - 08-18-2018 I like this one
