(S23) - PT2 - Draft Day

[KoltClassic]

I wasn’t expecting to go very high on my draft day in season 21. I think I was a fourth round pick in the DSFL draft, and my performance in the DSFL wasn’t really anything to write home about. Additionally, I wasn’t ( and still am not ) very active in Discord, which I assumed would hurt my draft stock a lot. I mean, I lurk on discord way more than I should, but I don’t usually engage in conversations. Luckily, I think it is pretty well known in the league that defensive lineman are pretty hit or miss on the stat sheet, but having a good defensive lineman helps your chances to win by a fairly large amount when sim testing. I think that the inconsistent stats lead people to not choose defensive lineman as a position, which helps a high-earning player like me stand out more to the NSFL GMs. I ended up going second overall in the draft, which was way higher than I was ever expecting to go. The first overall pick was then Jeffrey LaVert ( now Prince Vegeta ) who was much more active in the league than I was during our prospect and DSFL seasons. He has done a great job of differentiating himself from the pack with great recruitment numbers, but I think all in all I have been a great pickup as well as a top earner in a highly sought after position.
