It is almost time for the National Simulation Football League draft and it is the time of the year where rumours, smoke screens and lies are bandied about willy nilly. Everybody is doing their own big boards, mock drafts and positional lists. It is a time of media frenzy and interest in attempting to predict who goes where, what might happen, who rise and who falls. It is probably one of the most important, nerve-inducing periods of the season.
Throughout all of the media buzz, smoke and off-putting media articles, one constant piece of intel has come through the darkness. It has appeared in the majority of articles, mock drafts and everything else. It relates to the most important part of the draft, the 1st overall pick, the most crucial and celebrated moment when the best player in the DSFL draft his their name at the top of the list.
Currently, there is a buzz about one certain player being that number one overall pick. Cornerback Colt Mendoza out of the Dallas Birddogs in the Developmental Simulation Football League has been heavily rumoured as the pick. This article will be a breakdown of Colt Mendoza as well as some of the insights into the user that created him, iStegosauruz. Stego has had a vastly impressive rookie year and has been involved in several different events so far. This article will break down everything that Stego has been involved in so far in the less then 2 months he has been around so far.
The Beginning: The DSFL Draft & The Gimmy Trade
It is quite simple to state that Colt Mendoza was selected with the 3rd pick in the 19th round of the draft at pick 147. It is also important to break down this position with more details about where he was drafted. Mendoza was the 22nd cornerback selected but this is not the most important part of his draft day experience. In fact, Mendoza had no effect on what happened that had the biggest impact of his draft day.
The Portland Pythons held pick 147 but decided to trade it and a bunch of other picks for a later round pick. The Portland Pythons traded away Pick 147 (Round 19), Pick 155 (Round 20), Pick 163 (Round 21), Pick 171 (Round 22), Pick 179 (Round 23), Pick 187 (Round 24) and Quarterback Gimmy Jarrapolo.
The Portland Pythons general managers traded away the picks when only one member was in their war room. This potentially led to some strain between the general manager’ and the Portland Pythons War Room due to the trading away of the picks.
These picks were extremely beneficial for the Dallas Birddogs as along with a bunch of inactives, they were able to pick up 2 extremely active defensive players. They picked up Mendoza, a top 10 TPE rookie cornerback and Big Edd, the 6th highest earning TPE DT. The picks were able to provide the Bulldogs with 2 massively impactful defensive players in an area of the draft, quality players should have been well and truly off the board.
This trade has been slightly controversial due to the trade with some people complaining about its validity and whether or not a head office intervention and veto should have occurred. It’s way too late now for anything of that sort to happen so the only thing we can do is to reflect upon it and the impact it has which is extremely relevant to the future and the rest of this article.
I spoke to Steg about this trade and this is what he had to say:
I asked him: “You were involved in a slightly controversial trade during the DSFL draft. Are you aware of the 'Gimmy Trade' and your role in it? Did it impact your performance?”
“Yeah I got told about that trade a little while after the draft. After I registered for the league, I got confused in how everything worked together and I couldn’t seem to get the Discord working, so I wasn’t checking the league very often. When I got drafted Gucci sent me a PM on the forums with a link to the Dallas locker room. Once I was able to get Discord working properly, he walked me through all the questions I had and explained how to set up the update page, the best ways to get TPE, etc. It wasn’t until that point that I went back and watched the draft stream and skipped ahead until I saw I had been picked. I rewinded back a few minutes and saw the trade. At that time I still didn’t really understand it - and honestly I still don’t. That was such a crazy trade with how much value they gave up. Two of the sick picks Dallas got from the Pythons turned into 200TPE+ players - myself at 147 and Bid Edd at 155. We’ve joked about the trade a few times in the Dallas locker room and its definitely nice bulletin board material, but I don’t put much stock in it. At draft time I was close to - if not still at - the base TPE level so I understand why I fell. I only had filled out two pre-draft surveys - one for Dallas and one for Kansas City. I had virtually no stock and was a flyer pick. I think the fact that Dallas hit on a third of those picks in the later rounds of the draft says a lot about the locker room culture that Gucci and Kyle fostered”.
The Rookie Season – The 1st Adventure of Colt Mendoza
Mendoza played in all 14 of the Dallas Birddogs games in his rookie season and the team’s first season in the Developmental Simulation Football League. He finished with 53 tackles which is the 10th most for cornerbacks and just one behind for the lead for his team. Mendoza forced 1 fumble on the season and was able to recover one as well. Mendoza was able to pick up 1 interception on the season as well as deflecting 7 passes as well.
Overall, Mendoza’s adventure into football produced a decent season, he wasn’t a standout statistically but was able to get the job done at times. He’s box score doesn’t suggest a number 1 overall pick, but Mendoza produces more then just on field talent.
Here is what Stego had to say about Mendoza’s rookie year.
I asked him: “How would you describe Colt Mendoza’s Rookie Season?”
“Honestly that’s not something I’ve thought much about and it’s a question I can answer in a lot of different ways. For my player, I think it’s been a pretty great ride. I’ve loved the Birddogs - I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. The friends I’ve made here, and the mentorship of Kyle and Gucci have been invaluable in helping me improve my player and stay engaged in the league. I wish we had made the playoffs - we had a good shot too and gave it our best shot with the strategy we ran in the last week - but overall it was a great learning experience. If the question is more about my user than my player - it’s been crazy. I joined February 17th and it’s been a wild ride the whole way. It definitely feels like it’s been longer. So many different exciting things and a fair bit of drama. I’m excited for the chance to experience and NSFL team and help lead the Birddogs to an Ultimini next season”
The Ultimate Saviour – The Offensive Line God
Stego has developed a reputation for enormous statistical analysis which has changed the outlook of the league This began with his article on the 16th of March which was titled “Bot Offensive Tackles vs Human Offensive Tackles” [http://nsfl.jcink.net/index.php?showtopic=20402&hl=]
The conclusion of this article states that “Teams can get almost equivalent production out of a human offensive tackle weighing 340 pounds with 200TPE as they would a bot offensive tackle weighing 310 pounds with 550TPE. If these human offensive linemen would be paid equivalent to the current rate a human offensive lineman is paid – about $2.3 million – teams could save $4.4 million per season by having human offensive tackles.” Stego utilised thousands of simulations to determine this and it was well received among the community boosting the value of offensive lineman across the league showing their validity. Teams that had not previously looked at offensive line are now doing so. This is visible in the scouting I have experienced for Bruce Buckley where I have received several messages from teams who are now potentially interested in taking their first offensive lineman. I have heard from every team in the league who all seem interested in taking an offensive lineman, something that more than likely would have been impossible without the work Stego has put in.
Stego has produced several other articles that have boosted the offensive line’s popularity as well as other articles looking at the best potential builds for cornerbacks. Other work Stego has completed into mock drafts, win projections and how to contain opposing quarterbacks. Stego has conducted several pieces of highly beneficial and impactful media and statistics which will change the way the league is run.
Here is what Stego had to say about this:
I asked him: “As an offensive lineman, I want to thank you for the hard work you have done to boost the view of the position. What was your reasoning behind the focusing of lineman? Any potential work in the pipeline you can clue me into?”
His response was: “There was a huge debate in the general discord chat one day about human offensive linemen and bot offensive linemen. I’m not sure why that sparked my interest but it caught my eye and I looked into the mechanisms behind everything. I was still fairly new to the league at that point so I had almost no prior knowledge about the bot offensive linemen system, but the more I dug into it the more interested I became. After digging into the subject a bit deeper I decided that there was definitely work to be done on the area and that I was interested in doing it. I figured that if I found out if human offensive linemen were viable it was a good thing for the league all the way around. Teams were/are paying an insane portion of their salary cap to the bots and there are plenty of people who want to be offensive linemen but are discouraged from pursuing it. There wasn’t a downside. At worst I found that bots were better, at best I found the results that I ended up finding - that humans are better for the team on performance and are cheaper. Gucci hooked me up with the sim so I could run it and I got started.(edited)
Little bit of a tangent but I’ll give you some inside scoops - at the time Gucci sent me the sim I was still away at college. I have a computer for school but I didn’t want to download the sim on it - I do my best not to tear up my school laptop - so I took this crap laptop that I got back when I was a freshman in high school to Best Buy and got them to crack the password on it because I didn’t remember it. I don’t recommend Best Buy for that - it cost me like $50 to do - but they did it and I got the sim set up on it. The first few sim studies I ran - both the offensive line studies and the one on the Chicago-Philadelphia trade were run on that laptop. It overheats in the sim and takes FOREVER. It was a major grind. Once I had the sim set up I theory crafted my methodology and started working on it. It took several days and I ended up staying up until 4am some nights to grind it out but it was worth it - the results were great. That poor laptop basically gave its life for it though. I’ve got the sim set up on a fresh desktop. I figured if I was going to keep doing sim work I might as well get a proper set up. Smacked double monitors on that baby too - things go a lot faster. As for things in the pipeline I’ve actually being doing some work on offensive line and their impact on sacks and the run game - trying to optimize a rushing attack. The DSFL is a run dominant league so its helpful for the Birddogs for next season. It also has some applications for whatever team I get drafted by. We’re probably a ways from that being released. I’m starting a mandatory sim break this weekend so I can decompress before the season. I’m also beginning to hoard things for at least a little while to milk some competitive advantage from whatever I find
iStegosauruz – Rookie Player to Rookie GM
Recently it was announced that foundation Dallas Birddogs General Manager Gucci was stepping down from the position. His co-gm Kyle was taking the main holds and it was announced the Stego was becoming the new co general manager.
http://nsfl.jcink.net/index.php?showtopic=20976
Stego had become a General Manager less then two months after he first created an account on the forum page. His acceleration has been due to the absolutely amazing work he has put out and the fact he is just a nice guy who goes above and beyond what he has to.
I asked him: “Congratulations on the GM job. You have not been around the league long. How do you feel about the upcoming position? What was your plans in the future as a co-GM?
He replied with: “Thanks man, I’m pretty hyped for the opportunity. There’s been a definite learning curve to some of the stuff thats happened thus far but I think I’m handling it pretty well. Kyle has been great as a partner thus far - we’re on the same page about a lot of the decisions - and Gucci still sticks his head in and gives us guidance. We’re heading into DSFL draft season so I don’t want to spoil too much but we’re excited about the direction the Birddogs are heading it. We controlled our destiny in the playoff hunt until the last two games of the season last year so we have a lot of potential on the roster. We’ve got a great locker room built already that we think will help foster growth and activity from the new players we draft. We’re looking for guys who fit in our locker room and are focused on putting together a good team. We’ve got a few sim strats up our sleeves for next season as well that we think are pretty strong.”
Red Flags – Potential burnout.
With all of the effort and work require3d to compeltet the tasks Stego is working on, it is others as well as my opinion that burnout may affect Stego had some point down the line. There have been people who have overworked and as a result no longer in the league. I decided to questions this as well.
I asked: “With all the work you are doing, how are you attempting to manage burnout? I’m sure you are getting sick of the sims.”
He replied with: I think its a right of passage in the NSFL to decide you hate the sim at some point. Its a cruel and fickle engine at points and beautiful and mysterious at others. I’ve kept myself to a pretty strict regiment of only testing things I’m interested in - so it never feels like work - and to balance how much I do a day. I set benchmarks of when to take breaks when I’m in big sim sessions - such as when I finish a set of 10,000 I’ll take a break and grab a snack or go workout. After I finish a study I take a mandatory two day break from the sim completely as well. This has meant I’ve had to plan when I’m going to work on stuff pretty rigidly because I also have to test strats for the Birddogs, but all in all it hasn’t been hard. I’m lucky in that I’m interested in winning so constantly testing gameday strats interests me. Those never get old. The bigger studies I just pick and choose what I’m interested in at the time. In sum, you’ve just got to keep everything you’re doing in perspective, always make sure you’re interested in what you’re doing, and remember that at the end of the day you’re solving a puzzle. I was talking to someone today about in fact, and I think the way we framed it is the best way I’ve heard. The sim/league is essentially a mixture of math, odds, strategy, and plain dumb luck. Not everything you’re going to try is going to work and it might not for any of those reasons. You’ve gotta keep a level head. Oh, and sometimes things are going to be dumb and just not work. Thanks Draft Day
Colt Mendoza – Heavily favoured 1st Overall Pick
With all the buzz about Mendoza and Stego going at the top of the draft I decided to question him about this as well.
“People are mocking you as the 1st overall pick in the upcoming draft. How would you feel about the draft in this moment?”
Reply: Rumours are the draft kicked off early and some picks may already be in, so I don’t want to say too much. I’ve heard the rumours, but nothing is a done deal until the draft is finalized either. It would be an honour to go first overall. It would definitely validate a lot of the work I’ve done - blood, sweat, tears, and that poor laptop from high school. That being said, I’m excited to get to work for whatever team ends up drafting me. I’ve tried to keep an open mind throughout the process and am looking forward to seeing how it all shakes out
Interesting note there about the draft which has now been replicated by this reporter’s inside sources. Potentially giving the Stego 1st overall pick narrative some more claims and validity from the man himself.
Conclusion
In just 6 weeks, Stego has gone from a slightly inactive user on draft day to the behemoth of statistical analysis who has singlehandedly changed the way Offensive Lineman are viewed and Cornerbacks develop their player. He has now become a general manager of a team on the rise and is likely to become the 1st player selected in the upcoming NSFL Draft.
