(S28) PT 3 - What If?

[Dagumpa]

Since I'm not a league historian, I guess I'll talk about a decision that I know about and how it would differ from its original result. Dex Kennedy was a late joiner to the ISFL. He became a Minnesota Grey Duck with about six games left to be played. At that point, it is almost impossible to rally up enough intrigue to become a top pick. The S22 NSFL Entry Draft was one of the largest drafts in league history. All told, there were 284 picks. If you're a GM, you've definitely scouted people for a draft. That draft pool might be about, say, 60 people. But you can probably only get to 30 or 40. Now imagine scouting 284 people. Sure, you don't have to scout everyone, but that means you run the risk of missing out on some people. Dex Kennedy heard from...shit, I honestly don't think I remember talking to a single team. Dex Kennedy fell to 69th (tee-hee) overall, where he was selected by the Baltimore Hawks. Kennedy failed to make the playoffs all four of his seasons there, despite being one of the league's top tacklers all four seasons. So what would've happened if GMs actually noticed Dex was worth a damn? Well....not much, probably. Expectations would've been higher than. Which means S27, which was Dex's worst season, would not have gone over well. And he probably wouldn't have broken the all-time single season tackling record because he would be playing for a team that actually had a D-line. Although he might've actually been a Pro Bowler then. Maybe even a champion. But...I doubt it.
