Ryan Sierra – OL – Orange County Otters
(S5) PT #1 Rookie
With all the excitement of the Season 5 NSFL Draft, we were all delighted to see it unfold last night in all it’s glorious fashion. There were a few surprises and there were some picks that went chalk. The excitement I felt as a draftee was real. Having plenty of confidence I would be going in the 1st round, my research into other’s mock drafts told another story. The surprise I received was not that I went in the 1st round, but who drafted me. To my surprise, the Baltimore Hawks did not draft me, even after two weeks of correspondence and having two opportunities to do so, with picks #3 and #6. Their loss, as the Orange County Otters chose me with pick #7, a steal in my opinion, to find the 5th highest TPE gaining player in the draft. Perhaps I was a position change away from being a top five pick, but now there’s no doubt the OC Otters will reap the benefits of an active player who’s willing to do whatever it takes to help the team be successful, regardless of position. To the four other teams who felt Ryan Sierra was, “just not who they needed at this time”, we’re looking forward to seeing you on the battlefield.
