(S28) PT1 - Draft Day

[Crunk]

I remember my player's ISFL draft very well. After having gamed the DSFL draft to ensure I would land in one of two locations, I decided I would do the draft experience properly, and I decided to leave the ISFL process to chance. I gave my best in scouting for 11 of the 12 teams who reached out, and left it up to the ISFL Gods. Despite this, I did have a decent feel for where might be interested in me. I was pretty sure I had done enough to be considered a first rounder, though not raising my profile anywhere near as much as some others, so the Outlaws' pick at 8 was where I mocked myself.

The draft rolled around, and it was a super cool experience, really nicely presented and put togethers, just as my DSFL draft experience had been. After sliding a bit more than I had hoped in my DSFL draft, I was unsure whether the same would happen to me in this one, and when Arizona ended my nerves at that eighth pick I was elated.

Looking back, I think that it is safe to say that the S25 class was absolutely stacked, and (despite the fact that I'm going into my third full season as GM of the Outlaws now) I'm not sure I go that high in a redraft. Either way, I will continue to seek my retribution on the 7 teams that passed on me. Forever.
