S27 was an interesting draft class to be sure. There were a few recreates along with some new users that had definitely proven themselves in the DSFL the previous year for ISFL GMs to take notice. Numbers went #1 overall to Honolulu as the can't miss prospect and through 5 seasons, he definitely lived up to the billing becoming Honolulu's primary option out of the backfield and he has a great career so far. That being said, here is where things take a turn for the unexpected. Miller was the next pick up as the top CB in the draft to Baltimore, overlooking other secondary options like SparkySparky Boom-Man and PickSix II. Miller seems to have had a lackluster career so far in terms of earning having fallen to the mid-teens in his draft class.
Xander Creed at number 3 unfortunately for the Liberty became a bust as he disappeared almost as fast as he shot up the draft boards prior to the draft. Creed just couldn't figure it out at the pro level and it's safe to say his career path was not what anyone had expected. It is always a shame to see a promising rookie not have the career that anyone expects, but wherever Xander is, we hope that he's happy.
Marlon Brando has definitely been a huge hit for Berlin, the big buy has definitely been a star for the Fire Salamanders and looks to be a defensive leader on that line for a few more years at least while the new crop of stars slowly start to form up in the league but Brando is looked up to in the locker-room and he has been everything Berlin could want out of the 4th overall pick.
SparkySparky-Boom Man goes to the Yeti at 5 and the Yeti have to be proud of this guy as is Sparky as it seems to be a very good fit and Sparky's career has definitely been a solid one for the Yeti as well being drafted into an already strong team.
I think there were two unexpected steals in this years draft as well with Madison Hayes as well as HeHateMe PickSix II going both the butchers at 10 and 1 overall respectively. Hayes has been tearing it up in the league on the offensive side of the ball having most recently been nominated for Offensive Game of the year this past season as well as being a great offensive captain for the team. I expect more great things before this class hits regression from Hayes and she continues to round out her career. On the defensive side of this coin, PickSix II has had a very steady career so far. Often ranking among the elite corners of the league but never quite having enough breakout performances to be nominated for any awards himself. For someone drafted in the 2nd round, Chicago has definitely got to be happy with this kind of production. The world on the street is that he's a little more reserved than his name-sake was earlier in the league's history, but he is every bit as ferocious of a defender on the field as the original PickSix as well. Definitely someone to keep an eye on in the future to see if he can have a few more product years before his body breaks down along with most of the people in this amazing draft class.
Lastly, at 20, Chicago also gets Mike Hunt, their current WR1. It's very hard for teams to hit on a player that is not a lottery pick. It's very hard for teams to hit on players that are lottery picks as evidenced by this very class at 2 and 3. But for Chicago to hit at 10, 18 and 20 is very impressive. Mike has been a big play WR for the team and often will make great catches and drive the ball downfield for big yardage for the Butchers. With this draft alone, Chicago definitely shortened their rebuild time and just this past year finally managed to get back into the playoffs, but not only that, also advance to the conference title game. This is going to be a scary team in a few years for sure.
In terms of Hall of Fame. I don't think anyone from this class makes the hall. There are definitely some players that would be close, Eleven might squeeze by if the production ramps up a bit in the next few years. If PickSix can stay consistent for 4 more years and still put up 25+ PDs a season like he's been doing, he might get a few looks his way, but I think for now he is definitely on pace to become Chicago's all time PD leader which in itself is a feat to be proud of.
It's definitely an interesting class to revisit, like all drafts, this one also had stars in the making as well as unfortunate busts for teams that took a chance and didn't quite get the results they were looking for.
