(S8) - PT 5 - Rebuild

[Moosecop]

The San Jose Sabercats are in the early stages of a rebuild already. This season they managed to bring in their quarterback of the future in Brad Pennington, in addition to linebacker Ben Horne on the defensive side of the ball to lead that side back to the top. Still though, they are in need of pieces just about everywhere. Their star safety and GM, Ja Brill, is getting deeper and deeper into the twilight of his career and can no longer be the guy they once leaned on on defense, while the same can be said of the San Jose receiving corps with Shane Weston and Mayran Jackson. Fortunately for the Sabercats, they have the first overall pick in addition to another first rounder that they received from New Orleans in the S9 NSFL Draft which is looking to be stacked with talent. With a ton of options at their disposal, they must decide what they deem to be the biggest positions to build around. Do they add one of the stud runningbacks Marquise Brown or Elijah Lagerfield? Maybe someone young to be Pennington's go-to receiver like Xavier Flash or Vinny Valentine or even Declan Harp at tight end? Or do they try and build around the defense by adding safety Bucky Barnes or Alexandre Thibault? Or provide some help for Horne at the linebacker position with Kolby Deringer, Tyler Griffin, or Barnaby Earl? With a lot of picks and a lot of needs, this draft is an important one for the future of the Cats.
