I think many, including myself, would agree that draft night is one of the most exciting, if not the most exciting part of any sim league. Leading up to draft day excitement is sky high. GMs and scouts have spent the past couple weeks reaching out to you gauging interest in you. Heading into the DSFL draft I had no idea what to expect. Mock drafts had me going anywhere from the early second round all the way to the middle of the third round. Well, come draft night I was glued to the computer screen. The first couple of picks were no real surprise but then at the end of the first round it finally happened and my name was called with the number 8 pick overall by the Portland Pythons. To say I was excited would be an understatement. I continued to grow and grind in my first season in the DSFL and heading into the S17 NSFL draft expectations were much higher. I was a top earner in the class and was coming off a DSFL defensive player of the year nod. Quite frankly anything short of first round would've been a disappointment. Well with the 6th overall pick the Wraiths made me their first round choice much to my excitement..and the rest is history.
