*Reviewing the S12 Entry Draft

[div align=\\\"center\\\"]S12 NSFL Entry Draft Review

After a wild finish to S11 that saw the New Orleans Second Line defeat the Baltimore Hawks 42-36 in the Ultimus finals all attention turned to the upcoming S12 Entry Draft. With three back to back selections in the 2nd round many were curious to see what the Colorado Yeti would do in this one. Quite a bit deeper than the previous S11 Entry Draft this one managed to hit 50 selections, just enough to force a 7th round, albeit only 2 players were selected in that round. With several distinguished recreates as well as a few promising late recreates it wasn't a stretch to say there was value well in to the fourth round in this draft. For my review I'm going to rank the 50 selections first by the original order they were selected, then by the total amount of TPE that they have currently and lastly by the total amount of TPE they've earned since the draft. I'm then going to take a look at each team and give a little insight in to how each one did now that we are two seasons removed from the draft.

Baltimore Hawks
2. - Errol Maddox - WR - 608TPE (+360)
7. - Grayson Kuusela - DE - 414TPE (+252)
15. - Charlie Trout - LB - 495TPE (+299)
23. - Aksel Danielsson - RB - 412TPE (+209)
28. - Derek Bohne - S - 187TPE (+72)
39. - Thomas Clark - DT - 125TPE (+35)
47. - CJ Henderson - CB - 81TPE (+0)
After crunching the numbers the average TPE gained per player was 145.8, or roughly 150. With their 7 selections they managed to land an average gain of 175.3. If you chop out the guy who didn't even earn a single point their average jumps to 204.5. Definitely a very successful draft for Baltimore. What's more, they selected Maddox, the player with highest current TPE. The downside is two of those players are now playing for the New Orleans Secondline, so while they did scout well, they opted to go a different route in the long run.

Thanks for the love @karl. A reason I was a steal is because I was autodrafted as GM. I imagine if I wasn't autodrafted I would've gone a little higher

Great read

Great read

damn, who lets a GM slip in to the 3rd round?! I thought CK was the only GM in this draft
Good to know for next time I do this.

2nd round, bud. that's the rule. GM players have to be drafted in second round.

Those numbers are a bit off in some places so it's hard to tell

[WannabeFinn]

Honestly Baltimore was smoking crack to draft me round 1

And then they smoked some more before trading me
