2) Tell us about your draft class. Is there anything that makes it special in comparison to other classes? Where did your fellow draftees land, how are they doing? Did anyone turn out to be an unexpected steal of that draft based on what you know today? Do you think anyone in your draft class will become a hall of famer? If you’re new to the league, how do you think your class will do? Where do you think people will get drafted to?

A look at the best and worst pick by team from the S27 DSFL Draft (S28 class):
Bondi Beach Buccaneers
Best Pick - Henny Tingzpahcbol
Worst Pick - Don Bradman
Tingzpahcbol was Bondi Beach's sixth round pick, number 48 overall, and ended up as their third highest earner in the class. Tingzpahcbol did not put up great numbers for Bondi Beach with only 5 passes defended and 0 interceptions, but that's somewhat to be expected from a cornerback. Meanwhile Bradman, their third round pick quickly went inactive and topped out at only 67 TPE. But in a cruel twist of fate he actually matched Tingzpahcbol's 5 passes defended and also had five tackles for loss playing at linebacker.
Dallas Birddogs
Best Pick - Luke Watterson
Worst Pick - Mark Higgins
Luke Watterson was a seventh round pick, at 52nd overall but developed into a solid earner with 157 TPE. On top of that Watterson was a great defensive end for Dallas, with 15 tackles for loss which was third best in the league and best among rookies. Mark Higgins was taken just one round earlier with number 44 overall, but did not stay active after position switching from quarterback to linebacker, with only 74 TPE. He did contribute 8 passes defended, but could not keep up with Watterson anywhere else.
Kansas City Coyotes
Best Pick - Busch Goose
Worst Pick - Logan Steele
The circumstances of Busch Goose falling to the sixth round are clear, he was forthright about wanting to get called up after one season and running backs are generally not to hard to find anyway. But even taking that into context, Goose was a great pick, picking up 239 TPE, highest among running backs. Goose picked up nearly 900 yards from scrimmage and earned a nomination for running back of the year. On the other end, expectations were not high for Steele as a 7th round pick, but I'm sure the Coyotes would have preferred to get more than his 52 TPE. However, he did contribute a very respectable 16 passes defended on the season.
London Royals
Best Pick - Rainbow Dash
Worst Pick - Spencer Fields
Rainbow Dash was Mr. Irrelevant in the S27 draft, but proved to be extremely relevant for the Royals, and is in the contention for one of the best value picks of the class, getting 145 TPE from the last pick overall at a position of need. Dash just missed out on winning any awards, but was in the top five in punts inside the 20 and made the most field goals of over 40 yards. Meanwhile Spencer Fields was particularly disappointing as he never earned more than the initial 50 TPE, but to make matters worse, London actually traded up to get him. While Fields had 10 passes defended, his overall production on the field did not warrant trading up for him either.
Minnesota Grey Ducks
Best Pick - Jacob Raske
Worst Pick - Brooks Bane
Raske fell all the way to the sixth round, but was one of the better earners in the class, with over 200 TPE. Raske split time with veteran Ryan Negs at quarterback, but in limited playing time performed quite well with a QB rating of 82.6 which was best among all rookies. Brooks Bane actually earned reasonably well with 155 TPE but was picked 3 rounds earlier than Raske. Bane did contribute 66 tackles and 9 tackles for loss.
Norfolk Seawolves
Best Pick - Sam the Onion Man
Worst Pick - Archie Griffin
Sam the Onion Man was a fifth round pick for Norfolk, probably for similar reasons as Busch Goose. He is a league veteran and likely wants to be called up as soon as possible, but he earned very well with 234 TPE. Sam didn't do much on the field though with only 572 receiving yards in Norfolk's run-heavy system. Archie Griffin was a third round pick and was the first running back selected, however only complied 83 TPE. Griffin didn't have much success on the field either, with a 3.7 yard per carry average, worst among all qualified running backs.
Portland Pythons
Best Pick - Stumpy Jones
Worst Pick - Phillip Weaver
Stumpy Jones has earned extremely well, already maxing out above 250 TPE in his first season. Not bad at all for a fourth round pick. Not only that, Jones also performed spectacularly, leading the league in pancakes with 67 and only 1 sack allowed. Weaver was, to be honest not a bad pick based on 132 TPE as a 5th round pick, but I had to pick a worst and Weaver did not contribute much of anything on the field, with only 35 receiving yards.
Tijuana Luchadores
Best Pick - Cade Williams
Worst Pick - Gyles Marrett
Cade Williams was the 42nd pick in the draft but is the very definition of a steal as he got to 230 TPE. Williams only got 36 pancakes on the season, but only allowed one sack. Gyles Marrett is another case of low expectations as a seventh round pick, and honestly didn't earn too poorly, but Tijuana had a good class and I have to pick a worst. On the field, Marrett only got 23 tackles but had respectable 9 tackles for loss.
