(S28) PT 3 - What If?

[y2bobman]

For my ISFL draft I was my own one man hype band, thinking I would squeeze my way into the second round.  But TPE isn't everything.  That said, I did think AZ was my most likely landing spot, but at #22 rather than #36.  Good things come to those who wait, right?

So instead I'll just have a quick look at my fellow LB class from the third round, to see where I could have been now.

Pick #31, Philadelphia Liberty.  Now the Liberty have struggled a little, rebuild in progress but they have a solid core of S25 players.  Here is the interesting thing.  Their co-GM is @Punter715 who was selected by AZ @ #22 and in moving to the Liberty sent Wesley Eriksen to Arizona.  So AZ did pretty well from that.  There is no way Philadelphia would have made that trade to take me as their co-GM!

Pick #33, Yellowknife Wraiths.  The Wraiths were the first team to come scout Burfict so I dont know if that means he was high up on the list, or they just wanted to get him crossed off early.  In the end they took Donald McBobby who... interesting... is now playing alongside Burfict in Arizona (although he has bulked up since then and is now an OL).  If I'd headed to the Wraiths... who knows.  Maybe I'd be an OL right now somewhere.  I do like my food.

Pick #35, Chicago Butchers.  Burfict played alongside Juan Domine in London and would have relished the chance to continue the partnership after we had won the Ultimini together.  But that was me, or Burfict I should say, back then.  And maybe a move to Chicago would have led to Burfict sampling FA as he looked to be reunited with some other members of the S25 Royals gang in Rushmann, Jones and of course my current co-GM Crunk.  That sentence makes me sound like I'm a co‐GM, I'm not. It's Runner Thorbjornsson.
