*Three Years On: Revisiting the First Round of the 2042 ISFL Draft

[Michiganonymous]

This pick was more war room and locker room focused than position focused tbh. But pretty good analysis here, I could certainly see us taking Brando or Beanman if Numbers wasn’t available.

So this was my inexperience showing. I watched the draft last night and one thing I learned is that draft picks in this league are just as much, maybe more, about the *user* rather than the player. GMs talked about wanting to draft their friends, for example, or trying to accommodate a user who reached out wanting to get their player onto a specific team. That makes an article like this especially tricky then, because a pick that seems odd might have been, as you say, a great "locker room" pick. Or a player who doesn't have great stats might be an awesome user who does a ton for the league.

Because I wasn't aware of these things, I wrote this article from a strictly role-playing/kayfabe perspective. Even knowing what I know now, I will probably continue to do so for future articles of this nature just because I find that type of storytelling to be more fun. (And less complicated to research!)

To sum up, a pick that makes great sense in the real world because @124715 is a great user can still get a C grade in the article because for the purposes of the article, users don't exist.

I really hope I'm making sense.
