*Pick Analysis

[Baron1898]

#13 select Forrest Gump

I have nothing against Gump, I actually really like him, but why don’t you go with Morgan Marshall here. Outside of TPE, these players are very similar. But Marshall has almost 30 more TPE. I would just like to see the thought process behind this pick. Gump is a good player and should’ve gone in the second round, possibly even at pick 14, but Morgan Marshall is going to contribute more right away when both of them are earning just about max TPE. Forrest Gump must have really blown away the Second Line in his interviews to have them take him over Marshall.

If I remember correctly from the other draft reaction thread, NOLA wasn’t really looking at all for a RB in the first place (which makes sense, given that they have a young, active, and established starter in Tyler Swift). They picked Gump because they were incredibly impressed by him during their interviews and wanted a DSFL co-GM and locker presence for the Second Line, and they believed that he wouldn’t be there by the time they picked again. Gump’ll do great as the backup for the Second Line and I hope we can continue a good rivalry for years to come (although, being biased, I’d like myself to win lol)

Also you stated earlier under the Nero pick that the Wraiths would later pick up a running back by the name of Forrest Gump. Now that’s just insulting.
