(S22) - PT3 - Boom or Bust

[slothfacekilla]

It is kinda wack that we can only write about season 19 and earlier, but at least the season 19 draft gives a perfect answer to this: the Chicago Butchers drafted Sweet James Jones with the sixth pick in the first round. The Butchers already had selected a wide receiver at fourth overall, but even that fact isn't really at issue here.

You could maybe point to the fact that the dude's gimmick was basically what a white suburban fourteen year old thinks a rapper is. It would have given you a feeling that he may be heading towards something like the ultimate full banishment he received from the league after bringing his cringe to DM's attacking members. But really it would be tough to foresee a full on, outright ban from the entire league. So I GUESS you can give them a little bit of a pass here.

Honestly, it really ends with the fact that this dude straight up told Chicago not to draft him! I heard around the league that they thought they could trade him or something, but that seems to be an extremely poor strategy to rebuild a team around. Chances are you are at best going to be stuck with a loudmouth minstrel show cosplayer at wide receiver. The much better option for Chicago was to literally ignore this player on their draft board. Hindsight is everything, but it was moves like this that doomed the old regime(s) in Chicago (I can't even remember who was GM for them at this time). It seems like Chicago won't make mistakes like this again.
