Welcome to the Draft thread for offseason 61, start of season 62.

Trying a page out of Sea Devils playbook here. This thread is for the upcoming draft. Here you can post your draft picks, and have friendly discussion about your picks, or what name you changed them to, or how you plan to use them, etc.. You can talk about anything draft related here, boast your own, compliment another, or show the disapproval of the BOT team that drafted the superstar QB that will end up going to waste! This is the place for all things draft related, let's have some fun!

I can't bring myself to start scouting this draft class yet. It's feels like too big of a task!

Overall, it's a pretty lame draft class too.

My first round pick I got a RB. He was sitting about #7 or 8 on my list as I was drafting for need this year, not going for top talent on the board. Honestly, I found this draft to be quite lacking in most positions and the only positions that had some 1st round talent were positions I had no need of. I chose to pick a player who will become a starter by the end of the season, definitely by next season at the least instead with my 1st round pick instead of depth at a position I didn't really need.

Introducing Clay Shelby (he's fast like a Shelby, why not?) formerly known as Djamal Abolhassan. This 21 year old RB is out of the gate with 50 speed and a good start on STR and AGI that will develop nicely I expect. He's got the pass blocker trait, which seems to only be good for a few s e l e c t formations with multiple backs, so I have moved him to FB to take over the lead role there sooner rather than later. I tend to give my FB more touches than a lot of teams, so he should see the field often and be a starter by the end of the season.

Yeah, this draft seemed to be pretty lackluster in my opinion as well.

I ended up with Daryl Saurer - a 19 year old SF, as most of my safeties are coming up on retirement age. The goods - 49.3 Speed, 46.8 TW, Fearsome Trait, and Okish Int (38.6). While I don't expect him to be a superstar, at 19, I think he will have plenty of time to move up the depth chart, and be a staple at the SF position for me for quite a long time. His current strength is only 35.5, but it's not yellow flagged so that's good, I can always hope he turns into a big hitter, just have to see where that strength goes up to.
