The London Royals Remaining S30 Draft Class

I want to take this opportunity to discuss the remaining members of the S30 draft class for the London Royals.These players are the old guys in the locker room.  In a perfect world, these players are the ones that make sure the team operates at peak efficiency.  They are the ones that should be closing on records and really driving the culture of success in the locker room.  Let's have a look and see if they are up to snuff.  These players are (S30) - Brent Suzuki - WR, (S30) - Jack R. - RB, (S30) - Savior Hawkins - CB, (S30) - Bradley Welch - WR, (S30) - Electric Squirrel - RB, and (S30) - Ripoff CheeseBrand - S.  Of these players, Hawkins and CheeseBrand showed some interest in the league getting above the 100 TPE mark but falling off before reaching 200 TPE.  Thankfully, Welch exists and is trying to redeem this class of no shows.

Brent Suzuki - WR

Suzuki is coming in with a whopping 85 TPE.  This guy was like, "I'll try out the league but if I have to breath, I'm out."  Turns out, he isn't an Olympic diver, so he was out after 1 or so updates.  That being said, at least he updated.  Looking at his ratings, he was not really good at anything.  Tapping out at 67 speed. 65 hands, and 60 agility, this possession receiver has seen better days.  He is so bad, that he actually isn't even on the team for sims.  Good job there Suzuki, I'm sure all the kids want to grow up and be a flake like you.

Jack R - RB

Oh man, oh man. R put so much effort into the league at 50 TPE, that he could not even think of a last name.  Excellence at its best.  Fun fact, he started as a quarterback but quickly found out that being a quarterback requires effort and he couldn't have that.  Looking at his ratings, he did have 76 speed but not much anything else.  Actually, he had the minimum everything else.  Yes, speed is important but not if you drop the ball if a feather touches you.  Like Suzuki, he is not on the roster in the actual sim.

Savior Hawkins - CB

Hawkins is the first in actual decent players in the Season 30 draft class.  He has decent agility, intelligence, tackling, speed, hands, endurance, and competitiveness.  But, like the others, he is no longer with us.  At least he got some decent ratings in.  Unfortunately, this was not good enough for him to make the current team in the sim.  I wish I had more to say about him but there is nothing left to report.

Bradley Welch - WR

Welch is the man.  444 TPE, and ready to dominate.  He is super quick, agile, and has great hands.  He is the definition of a speed receiver.  He is even a deep threat in the DSFL.  All of this and surprisingly, he only got 45 receptions and 806 yards on the year.  And only 1 reception touchdown.  That is crazy to me.
That tells you right away that this offense had some issues this year.  Which is to be expected with a rookie quarter back.  He will be a great addition to his ISFL team.

Electric Squirrel - RB

Squirrel did not really work out.  An abysmal 79 TPE was earned in his life.  He wanted to be a receiving back.  It would of been great if he actually showed up.  He is pretty average across the board, for a PGA tour golfer.  His only redeeming quality is his speed at 70.  There is a good reason he doesn't see any time.

Ripoff CheeseBrand - S

Cheeseband started off hot and then dropped off.  He did make it to 187 TPE as a center fielder.  The Greek was fast and a decent tackler.  I for one, really wish that he was great.  We could of used some more defensive firepower on this team.  But alas, here we are.  Finishing at the bottom of the league at 3-10, tied for last with the Dallas Birddogs and the Bondi Beach Buccaneers.
