*S1 Redraft - 99-70

[majesiu]

S1 Redraft - 137-100 Part 1: Literally irrelevant
S1 Redraft - 99-70 Part 2: The gone before S5 part
S1 Redraft - 69-40 Part 3: First Regression Fighers
S1 Redraft - 39-15 Part 4: It's getting better!
S1 Redraft - 14-1 Part 5: Crème de la crème

Okay, first of the batch of players done, but let's remind the rules:
We know about who this article will be about, but how I decided to grade players? There will be 4 factors - 3 majors and 1 minor. Due to the sheer amount of players in that draft (137), please forgive me judgment calls in category number 3 & 4, especially since I'm only around since Season 6 and don't have much knowledge about first 5 seasons. The categories:
- Peak TPE/100 - Top mark was 12,22
- Career longevity - 0-12 score depending on seasons spend in the league
- Career quality - 0-13 the first of judgment calls, basically non-factor is going to be 1 (0 if never suited), 2 was a bit better than replacement level, 7 made some pro-bowl and 13 is HoF caliber player. I tried to be lenient in this category, but once again - I'm not writing a dissertation about particular players, just trying to give a nice window back into S1 draft to have revived some memories, find biggest steals, busts and have something to write about. I put also a lower emphasis on the first few seasons since the low TPE levels surmount to really random results.
- Activity Grade - 0 to 5 score, where 0 equals lack update page, 3 was somewhat active and 5 was always active throughout the career
I'll try to write a few words about more interesting players, but more often than not I'll just be using the template I prepared for the occasion. One more note is that searching through these old days wasn't easy and I might have missed some seasons if players position switched for example, for such mistakes sincere apologies and feel free to correct me!

We had a lot of defensive players picked before and none of them lasted for a long time in the league in the impactful role. This article won't be much different. We will have to wait up until next edition to actually see players that lasted more than 4 seasons. Season 1 might've been the biggest one, but retention and engagement percentage weren't astounding at all.

Samee and one more of his many failed players, but this time not sure I can even blame him as he played the cursed offensive linesman and even though they were really needed only stayed in the league for two seasons. Bad reach.

Yeah, OL was badly needed and teams overstated that need. I think by average OL might have the most negative change of all positions - I might summarize it at the extra article extracting some interesting statistics and plotting charts out of it.

There were a lot QBs in the season 1 draft, far too many for 6 teams and what was even worse 4 of those were GMs so that left rest of rookies scrambling for playing team and their draft stock reasonably to fall down by a lot.

Why don't draft a guy with family friendly nickname middle through the draft, he will surely stay active, won't? Typical Otters pick.

Andy made some great players in SHL and PBE, but unfortunately his NSFL players are rather DSFL bound. If it only existed back in the S1, Levon could've had a successful career.

There was a ton of RBs in that draft and with teams needing really one, max two per team it's such a big reach. While he earned some TPE, he got quickly overtaken by more active players.

Rashad was a positive surprise for Arizona (one of many tricks up their sleeve back in the day) for the first two seasons in the league. There was a ton of defensive backs taken ahead of him that ended up worse.

Tight Ends, because of their dearth, surprisingly, stayed a bit longer in the league than their TPE could have suggested.

Some things don't change - you could have stayed for decent amount of time in the league with low TPE if you played as defensive linesman.

One of many disappointing first rounders, but recently returned to the league with his successor and is doing great work the outlaws. Sabercats whiffed hard on him though back in S1, because of an unexpected turn of real-life events. It wasn't a bad pick on draft day for sure.

Very active back in the day, but during las vegas legion days lowered down his activity and reitred in S3. Legendary #22for#25 performance will forever be in our hearts.

Once again we approach the magical milestone. In this edition, we were able to finally see some decent players that ended their career prematurely, but in the next part, we will finally some players that survived until the regression took them apart.
