6 retiring this season which is a high for me. I think I have them replaced already though, probably not the exact same standard but not a billion miles away.

Wow... My #1 pick lasted all the way to 15!

My #8 made it to 23, but no cigar. Stinky picking 32, got a garbage guy I probably had too high on my board

TramLaw got my #1 rated player. Best strength/speed combo + 45+ intelligence . I would have made him a LB.

I'm not disappointed in my pick though. Teamwork is low for a DL, but he has the Brick Wall trait. He's 1/17 right now, but he'll get playing time on my developmental roster and will play during power mode friendly cups right away.

Lehner was #13 for me. Old guy with no Teamwork and below average experience. He was the highest 23 year old on my board though. For defenders, I had Chisholm, Kulawanit, Nedic, Arlauskis, Obasanjo, Abdurahmonov, Iita, and Mendez all above Lehner.

Ivy (Brkic) was #65 for me. Brick Wall is nice, but I can't tolerate 23.5 Teamwork.

In my mind there was a huge delta between my #13 and my #14. Figures I got #14...

I don't really worry about age. Most draft picks look like they can be trained to my personal baselines before or by the time they reach 30 years old. I may factor in experience as my team gets older, but at the moment all my draftees have been able to get playing time on my senior team as starters or as contributors on special teams and on my developmental team. Lehner would have immediately been available to me in all three instances.

I have Chisholm at #16, Kulawanit at #5, Nedic at #4, Arlauskis at #2, Obasanjo at #12, Abdurahmonov at #23, Ita at #9 and Menendez at #7.

Ivy's (Brkic) low teamwork will limit some of his effectiveness during training and may eventually get him sold off if other players develop faster than he does. He's 1 of 17 DL on my roster (most are under 25). He'll play special teams on my senior team and DT and special teams on my developmental roster to start. If he's able to survive my Transfer Market binges and develops at the rate I expect, he'll only ever play NT or DT.

Happy with Chisolm at 15. Was number 3 on my board. Hoping for a decent second pick.

Bracciano nicked the player I had ranked #1 - because of need more than his actual quality - I eventually landed a reasonable enough LB who may just get to be an OLB as his speed is uncapped.

Rest of the draft looks fairly tepid at my position....may just set a few but then just see what I get pot luck.

Well I rolled the dice on a twin trait FB...and lost. 32.7 STR is yellow. Won't matter that SPD may be 50 plus Track Star, looks like the TM for him unless I want to try him at RB or WR. Gambled on him because my highest ranked players around him were all linemen or LB, and I'm already deep at those positions. Have to hope for a better pick in round 2.

As to other players mentioned above:-

Chisholm was my #7 overall player.
Michelet who went 19th was my #30.
Lehner was my #12.
Brkic I had down at #64!
The TE the Lakers picked I had down at #73.

I had Menendez #1, Iita #2, Kulawanit #3, Rashid #4, Abdurahmonov #5 and Obasanjo #6. Better drafting overall at League 1 as opposed to League 2, which was no surprise.

I got my #2 Nedic. I had lots of defensive players in my top10:

#1 Braulio Menéndez LB
#2 Angelo Nedic DL
#3 Annan Kulawanit LB
#4 Manitho Lehner DL (as LB)

#5 Thongkon Kantawong QB
#6 Raga Lam WR (as future TE)
#7 Saladin Rashid WR
#8 Michael Iita LB
#9 Stanislav Abdurahmonov DL
#10 Collin Chisholm DL


Menéndez was clearly top1 for me (young + phisycals + intelligence + traits). Why was lower on your draft? Are talent and experience key factors for you?

And why was Abdurahmonov so low in your draft? I think I'm missing someting important
