(S21) - PT1 - Reloaded

[Apollo]

This is the year for the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers. After coming off of a great season last year, they are poised to take the crown this time. A very defensive focused start of the draft (first four picks all on that side of the ball), this team is focused on shutting down any opposition. They also invested in the offensive line a little later in the draft to try and protect one of the best QB/RB duos in the league. But i feel that the biggest pick up was the rookie running back out of Ohio State; J.B. Apollo. He may have fallen to pick #136 in the draft, but he is ready to make some noise as a great change of pace back. Another thing this team has going for them is the leadership, there are so many veterans eager to take all of the rookies under their wing and help lead the new rookies down the winding path to greatness. The teamwork that is already being developed so early in the season will help this team get off to a hot start that will propel them forward for the rest of the season. The only question mark that i have for this team is; will all of these talented rookies be able to keep performing throughout the later portions of the season and into the playoffs? There's only one way to find out...

The Myrtle Beach Buccaneers made it to the Ultimini last year and are looking to win it this year after an amazing draft class. Myrtle Beach was able to close all of their major holes and are set for another great season. MB lost it's starting safety, cornerback and defensive tackle to the NSFL. Luckily Dax Frost has been sent down and will start at RB. To reload the defense, Myrtle Beach used it's first four picks on defense. The number one pick was used on the top safety of the 22 class, Johnny Hellzapopping. He will step in to the big shows left by Prince Vegeta and will be integral to MB's season. The second pick was used on defensive end Troen Egghands. He will join another end that was sent down from the NSFL. MB will have a dominent line, espically since they used thier third pick on yours truly. The fourth pick was used on Brandon Booker. He is one of the top cornerbacks in the draft class and an awesome locker room influence. I have enjoyed meeting him very much. With three players on the line capable of causing disruptions and the new look secondary. MB will be back to the Ultimin and win it.

The Coyotes absolutely smashed in the draft and really set themselves up for success this coming season. Look I could talk about the best player in the draft who was picked up at number five, but everyone already knows how big of an impact Phat Boi is going to make. But the real power of our team is with our Yeet Squad. We picked up 3 great receivers in Eddie Jeeta, Michael Witheblock, and Tan Johnson. Everyone already knew that Eddie Jeeta was going to be a great receiver and a lot of people had him on the top of their board but no one saw Michael Witheblock becoming the stud he is now. We also got to keep one of last years best tight ends in Tree Gelbman. With Chicka Fujiwara being arguably a top 2 quarterback in the DSFL if not the best quarterback throwing those 4 the ball it is going to be nearly impossible to stop.

Now that we talked about why our offense is going to do so well let’s not forget about the defensive guys we picked up that looks to slow down the opponents offense while ours takes over. We picked up a great cornerback in Chester Sweets who is going to make a great duo with Jeremy Quellers who made a splash last year. We also can’t forget about our linebacker Sean O’donohue who looks to stop the run while Sweets is covering the air.

The combo of great offense and great defense is why Kansas City is going to take home the Ultimini this year. In only the second season after being bots.

The Portland Pythons invested a lot of draft capital to rebuild their secondary from the ground up. These rookies show incredible athleticism, potential, and, most importantly, speed. This has earned them the nickname, "The Legion of Zoom," by fans hoping for big things from these new players.

The Grey Ducks came into the draft looking to focus on the defensive side of the ball, and it clearly showed with the team's early round selections. The Ducks first four draft picks were all defensive players, with three defensive backs and one linebacker taken. All four picks were highly touted as future stars, with all four currently well above 100 TPE and all having been very active heading into week 1.

In particular, a key strength of the Duck's defense will be the secondary. The defensive backfield will be anchored by safety Buck Thornton, the team's first round pick. Thornton will be invaluable to the Ducks as a run-stopping, hard hitting safety against the run-heavy teams in the DSFL. He will pair up with fellow rookie safety Sebastian Vettel, who is more of a ball hawk that is excellent in pass coverage. This safety pair will be hard to beat.

Up front, the Ducks drafted defensive tackle Mo "Mamba" Magic to be the centerpiece of their line and speedy linebacker Lawrence Bass as the heart of the defense. Mamba is currently sitting pretty at 155 TPE and is an excellent mix of tackling ability, speed, and endurance, while Bass looks to be one of the fastest linebackers in the DSFL with an almost maxed-out speed stat of 83. This front seven looks to be very difficult to run against.

Well this just might be the easiest writing task that I have ever been assigned. The Dallas Birddogs, along with The London Royals, are a brand new expansion team in the DSFL and we had to build a team from scratch because head office clearly does not care about the DSFL or the nearly 300 new recruits brought in over the record breaking recruitment period. The lack of anything resembling effort from the league did not stop us. We proceeded to draft twenty-two active players in the draft, more than any other team in the draft. Outside of offensive line we have an active starter at every single position, including multiple formations and schemes that will have everyone at their natural position. The locker room is a great environment full of both eager new players and league veterans willing to help out the young guys. There are too many great people to name and I mean it, we even had a player willing to position switch in order to help the team. I am more excited for the Birddogs season than I am for my own players, and I love my own player. With the odds stacked against us I know this team won't back down.

As an Expansion team in the DSFL the London Royals have got nothing but new players. This is a good thing both for this team and the league as a whole. While the odds of a new expansion team winning the DSFL championships is honestly quite low (indeed history would suggest that the odds of losing all of our games is more likely) you can’t count out a team stacked with such a great roster. I’m not sure what the exact ratio of new users to recreates is on this team, but I imagine that most of us are new to this league. This means a couple of things. First off due to things like the rookie PT and free training new users have an easier time earning TPE than recreates, this does come with the downside that a lot of new users don’t stick around and go inactive. In this scenario I think the positives out way the negatives. Second of all the players that do stick around are the future of this league. Even if we don’t win a championship this year this team is definitely made up of future champions, future hall of famers, even future GMs. So don’t count the Royals out just yet. Hell don’t count the Birddogs out yet either. As they say in the NFL. “Any given sunday.”

After the S21 DSFL Draft, the Norfolk Seawolves have good reason to be hyped for the upcoming season. We’ve compiled some excellent picks, and I’m here to tell you that we’re seeking the Ultimini Championship with full force. At pick number 6, Thubba Bumper, Cornerback, 149 TPE. A strong piece to pair with Atlas Quin, Thubba is already looking to get his hands on the ball week 1. He’s an experienced max earner who can be not only a cornerstone of the secondary, but of the locker room as well. At pick number 10, Defensive Nose Tackle Magnus Rikiya. Magnus is looking to wreak havoc up the middle and is a much needed improvement in the middle of the defensive line. Paired with Dorfus Jimbo Jr., the Norfolk D-line will have a big impact in games. Magnus is another max earner whose agent Tesla has a knack of writing excellent articles. Tesla also has an incredibly positive impact in the locker room, inspiring her fellow rookies and being friendly at every turn. Norfolk’s 3rd pick of the draft, Matt “Son of Havoc” Cross, at number 14 is another player who will step in and make a huge impact right away, by filling in a hole in that secondary. Cross strives to be the best safety in the league, and he means to lead his team to the ultimus to prove it. That determination alone will help the team compete for the championship, not to mention his great activity and media articles. Finally, with two new active QB’s, Skywalker and Ramza, the team looks to these rookies to help manage the offense. Handing the ball off to their maxed out Flash Panda, and throwing the ball to a pair of high earning TE’s who remain from the previous season, and their fourth pick of the draft, Kevin Koh, who will add a burst of speed to the WR corps.

The Myrtle Beach Buccaneers recently drafted over 30 players in the most recent Development Sim Football Draft. Almost half of these players are active and ready to assist in developing the squad with the primary goal going one step further this season and capturing the Ultimini after the traumatic defeat in the previous season.

The locker room is an encouraging environment which attempts to bring out the most development and interest from its players. I will note on a few of the players that will impact this team following the draft.

Johnny Hellzapoppin – Pick 7, Safety.
Troen Egghands – Pick 15, Defensive End.
Octavio Clemente – Pick 23, Defensive Tackle.
Brandon Booker – Pick 35, Cornerback.

This first group of 4 players are a bunch of highly active, high TPE earners who will add to the defence in Myrtle Beach. The selections will start and play a lot of snaps and are a big part of the Buccaneers potential return to the Ultimini.

Bruce Buckley – Pick 59, Offensive Line.

The buccaneers picked the best offensive lineman in the class to bolster their line with even more active players. Always supporters of the Fair Rub Club, it is evident Myrtle Beach understand the importance of the position.

Tim Sofa – Pick 270, Quarterback.

It is practically impossible to mention the Myrtle Beach draft without talking about Mr. Irrelevant, Tim Sofa. The last pick in the biggest draft in history. Shockingly, he is an active earner and player who was picked after more then a hundred inactive players went before him. He has the potential to be worth as much as the number 4 overall pick was. The greatest steal in history.

I was drafted by the Portland Pythons. At first, my fears grew. Would these be the same Pythons from last season? The dumpster fire in which they were? But then the draft progressed further. And further. And there was one key element that could be seen. Speed. Portland has speed. Between myself, Zamir, Oles, AND Dawkins. We are most likely the fastest rookie secondary in the league and we’re only going up from there. We gave ourselves the nickname “Legion of Zoom” to reflect how we will shutdown the opposition. Picks for days, passes broken up. We’ll cover up anyone with ease. To score on us you’ll have to run the ball down our throats, and even then that will be a tough task as… You guessed it! We have elite run stoppers up on that defensive line. We’re here to rebuild. Reclaim and reconquer our way to the Ultimini. Our journey starts through Myrtle Beach, where we’ll show them how to actually play defense. Because yaknow, they didn’t fare too well defensively in their last game. And now we talk about the offense. Bet you can’t guess what makes our offense elite? You probably guessed speed. And you’d be right. Our starting running back alone has lightning fast legs that will absolutely punish anyone who tries him. And our receivers are burners as well. Good luck against the Pythons. You’re going to need it.
