(S25) - PT 1 - Opening Statements

[Cody]

The Season 25 Draft Class is going to go down as one of the greatest classes ever. The class as of this posting has a total TPE of 24,911, which is a great average of 237 per player, while the top 50 TPE users have 16,231 which accounts for 65% of the overall total and an average of 324 per player. There were tons of great users and multiple users were projected as first rounders. If you look back at mocks there was not a consistent prediction for the first round and the average mocked correctly was around 3 per user. 

The constant remarks after the first round was “I didn’t expect this player to fall this far in the draft.” or “We thought this player would go much higher.” or “We didn’t think this player would still be here at this spot in the draft.” Teams were easily finding talented players/users all the way through the fifth round of this draft.

There were a number of recreates in this class from long time veterans and a lot of great new users who brought some new ideas and energy to the league.  There were a number of users who had been hired for league jobs prior to the draft. Even one new user taking over as GM in the DSFL. I believe it’s rare to see this many dedicated new users in a draft class.
The constant remarks after the first round was “I didn’t expect this player to fall this far in the draft.” or “We thought this player would go much higher.” or “We didn’t think this player would still be here at this spot in the draft.” Which is true as it was hard to fathom how some great users had fallen so far.

All I can say is this class is one that is going to have a great impact on the league for seasons to come and if we users all recreate at the same time I’ll be writing a similar post reiterating the same things.
