My last draft experience, or rather, my only ISFL draft experience was overwhelmingly positive. It all started with the aspirations of a 2nd-3rd round selection. I'm gonna be real, I understand and respect my limitations towards earning money. I was up front with that with GM's and their scouts so I was under the impression that they understood me to be a high floor, low ceiling kind of guy. I wanted to be around for the long haul but max-earning is just out of the question. I never really got in touch with GM's about my potential positioning, mostly because I was concerned about being seen as "leak" baiting or something to that effect. Expectation wise that's where I was at. Wherever I go, that's where I'll stay.
Watching the draft live, I did start to consider what teams could snag me. It was mostly about teams that had people I knew on them, which was limited to Austin, Honolulu, and New Orleans (as far as I can recall). It got to the late first and I thought, hey, New Orleans is picking, and hey, what's this? There's a trade? Austin is sliding into 13th overall, that's neat. Internally I'm not even thinking I'd go here. There's a bit of ISFL/SHL crossover there, as well as some fellas I've met in fantasy leagues but I thought it was out of the question. Little did I know Amid, one of the rookies in Carolina, was trading up to snag me there. That was undeniably a moment of surprise, mostly. Not just the fact that I got taken in the 1st round, but that someone traded up to get me? Wild stuff, honestly. For a guy like me who loves trade trees and all that, it was fun to be involved in a trade tree. Oh yeah, it's also fun in general to end up on a team with a lot of great personalities in Austin that can help keep me coming back to the site and staying semi-active with earning. Real ideal situation, all things considered.
