(S28) PT 3 - What If?

[Rusfan]

Joel Drake was taken with the 2nd pick in the second round of the Season 24 International simulation football league draft, though it was known then as the national simulation football league draft. The Colorado Yeti were the lucky recipient of the Season twenty seven Safety Of The Year, but I have it on good authority that there were at least two other squads looking to acquire Drake’s services. One of whom was said on the draft, by the San Jose Sabercats’s representative. Had the Colorado Yeti not offered a trade-up, SJS would’ve taken Drake. The other known possibility was….Drumroll please....The Baltimore Hawks. Yes, the squad riveling the Yeti’s 0-33 record for worst number of losses straight was this close to taking Drake for themselves. Had this happened I imagine the results would’ve been interesting. The Hawks’s problems run a lot farther than simply their Free Safety, but if a pro bowl award winning caliber defensive back had joined the squad maybe the team wouldn’t have been so far off from where they needed to be. A team needs to be quite bad to want to blow up the entire thing, and it’s certainly possible that having a star player would make the team less ready to sell the farm. Or perhaps it goes the other way, maybe the Hawks still sell the farm and Drake ends up somewhere else.
