(S7) - PT 2 - NS-if-L

[Roly]

Alright so for this what if scenario for the Point Task, I’m going to rewind the clock all the way back to … S5. Yeah super far, eh? But in the lead up to the S5 draft, the highly touted prospect Darren Morris suffered a massive simulated concussion and dropped off the face of the earth. In the lead up to the draft, his name was being passed around in the same sentence as Andre Bly and Carlito Crush. But after remaining simulated hospitalized for weeks on end, his draft stock plummeted. From a lock in the first couple of picks to the twelfth pick for the Outlaws. What could’ve happened? Knowing that the Yeti had to take Bly 2nd OA, and assuming Crush still goes 1 OA, the result could’ve been Morris ending up with the Hawks or Wraiths, pushing Wachter or Taylor further down the draft order. As it stands, the Hawks would likely love that what if scenario, with their own Wachter suffering his own serious hip inury that seems poised to ruin the potential of his career. The tandem of Valentine and a still developing Morris would’ve given the Hawks arguably the best deep coverage pair in the league and could’ve turned into the tipping point for the Baltimore franchise.
