2. With this being my last UW in awhile since I will be getting a pass, I thought what a better way to use this as my UW more than anything. With that being said, I will be going over the S27 DSFL and S28 ISFL draft as they are integral to what got me to where I am and how I used those as a “chip on my shoulder” so to speak.
When I first signed up for the league, I was so excited to be part of something like this. This is exactly what I was looking for and I knew I wanted to do whatever it took to be part of a good group of people on a united front on a sim football league. When I was looking over the positions, I noticed not many chose OL, and I wanted to play at a position where I would get plenty of playing time. And from there, I would be out in the ISFL world. However, I wasn’t sure how to go about that as I was a fairly shy person and never joined the rookie Discord, which was where apparently all the cool people were at. I had no idea but kept earning to the best of my ability and I enjoyed hearing from pretty much every DSFL team. I was really looking forward to the draft as I thought as a max earner even being an OL, that I would get selected fairly high. As draft pick after draft pick came through, I realized that I may have overshot my expectations and should have expected to be on the lower end because of it. With the 42nd pick, the Tijuana Luchadores selected me. While I was happy to be selected, I was not happy about how far down I was picked. But in the end, it became a blessing in disguise. I was able to help the Luchadores on being flexible but also having one of the best drafts that season. It would later be regarded as a steal as a lot of the other players ahead of me did not do much or became IA. I would surpass players like Andrew Warthol, Kelvin Harris, and Prof. Godfrey Gravity. I knew that if I focused on being part of this league and helped it grow, that I would be looked very highly upon in the ISFL draft that was coming up. And that’s what I did. I was able to become DSFL Sim Head during my rookie year. And once that happened, it was just a domino effect when I kept applying for jobs and assisted with the development of the league. With that, the ISFL Draft was around the corner.
In the days leading up to the draft, I had a much better feeling about when I was going to be picked. Baltimore was looking to draft me with the 15th pick if I was available, which gave me hope that I could be a first-round pick. Yellowknife had me as one of their finalists in their scouting reports and NOLA had big interest with Mith being part of Tijuana. I’m sure that if I position switched, I could have been selected higher, but to me this was about being a high impact player and user while being a position where it was not popular whatsoever. Once the ISFL draft rolled around, I was paying attention more than ever. Baltimore with their 1OA and 2OA were locked with Luke Quick and Busch Goose, who are both top earners and big users in the league. OCO selecting Anton Bruckner with the 3OA pick was sort of a shocker, but made sense as well. Great new user and max earning as well. 4OA would go to Xaiver Walls who was also a great player and a big need for the Liberty. 5OA would be my fellow co-worker in PPT (Pib) and that was a solid selection for the Outlaws. Here is where the cutoff is. Mongo would be selected at 6OA to the Silverbacks, and it looked like an amazing pick, but has failed to earn as of late. New York could have looked at me, but hindsight is 20/20. At 7OA, SJS took my Tijuana teammate Juno Hu. I think it was a solid selection as they needed a CB. At 8OA, the Wraiths selected Andrew Warthol. This pick is interesting as I know he was an amazing user, but went IA shortly after. The Firesalamanders would select Troy Abed with the 9OA pick. Who was a great pick in my mind and is a great earner. With the 10OA pick, the Butchers selected Dexter Hall, who has been earning well. The Yeti would draft Manhattan Project with the 11OA pick who recently switched to OL. Hahalua would then select Gravity with the 12OA pick, who was mentioned earlier. And with the 13OA pick, New Orleans picked their start OL. Of the 12 picks ahead of me, only 3 have earned more TPE than I have. I think the results speak for themselves.
