It was a few days prior to the draft that the GMs of the Wraiths at the time contacted me and asked me if I would be interested to play in Yellowknife. At the time, there was a great many quarterbacks up for grabs and as such, their value was significantly diminished, as teams would rather focus on defense. It was with these lowered expectations that I entered the draft but even then, I was not prepared for it to go as it did. I was expecting myself to be picked up around the mid-30s or so. What happened was seeing every position except quarterbacks are drafted early on. 30s pass by. 40s pass by. 50s pass by. I think to myself that something isn’t quite right by this point and begin to doubt whether I’d even get drafted by the Wraiths.
Ultimately, I did get picked up 62nd overall by the Wraiths but it was a long and tedious hour after the draft began that I heard my name. In the end, it just goes to show that no matter how well you are known in the sim leagues, teams will ignore the hell out of you if you do not have a role they want to fill up earlier.
