*A look at the future - S21 Class Rankings

Ah, thankyou, this gives some good context. Explains why Young might have so many tackles. I think he's probably still worthy of the top spot, but I'll have to try and work out a better way to look at the whole defensive line.
Is there much change in strategies over the course of a season, or do you pick an offensive & defensive scheme at the start and stick with it?

Yep, stats don't lie, so he deserves to be up there.

GMs can change the offensive or defensive strats for every game. So there's no way to tell who played in what position or what strats were used unless you have the sim and load the new file. Most of the time NSFL GMs keep at least their defensive strats pretty consistently. But there is more variety in the DSFL. For example, you'd almost never see the 3-4 in the NSFL.

Interesting. This will probably change my method for ranking as a lot of it is based on how you compare to your position group, but the more I look the more I see out-of-place players; Young for example and my player (Matt Murphy) playing as a LB rather than a safety and our DT Sardine Beaner taking snaps at DE as well.

Huge slip for Otis, hopefully the regular season fares a bit better. Awesome write-up! Excited to follow these in the future.

Yeah, because this list includes so many new additions, those who didn't hold their spots tended to slide down quite far, it'll be interesting to see if there's the same amount of movement at the next set.
I have Otis Allen roughly on par with Pete Miller and Jaune Arc at DT, a little bit behind Sardine Beaner, who has 2 things going for them;
1. The Grey Ducks line seems to be causing havoc so there's tons of oppurtunity to break through and sack the QB
2. As I mentioned above, Beaner is taking snaps at DE and that probably led to a slight increase in sack numbers
I'll try and take into account point 2 a little better next time and I can't see point 1 holding up for the whole season.

32. Jerome Davis, WR  -15
2.5 Catches/G, 0.8 Drops/G, 30.0 Yds/G, 12.0 YPC, 2 TDs, 1.7 First Downs/G. He’s another WR who’s ceiling is capped by the teams style of play, as Minnesota are traditionally a run heavy offence who also rely on excellent TE play (2nd year starter Blake Gragg).

Oof
