Here the analysis of the Season 7 Draft. I analysed only the teams, who played last and this season in Seadevil 1.1

AC East

Solihull Moors Grade: C+

Best Pick: Jordan MacKenna (RB, #60, 2nd round)
Mac Kenna was the second fastest RB in the Draft combine. He is not only fast, he is also a power runner. He dropped so far in the second round, because of some off-field issues.

Questionable Pick: Peter Hogan (LB, #28, 1st round)
Hogan is a young future MLB. He has enough intelligence to lead a defense, but not enough Speed for a Pass rusher. Why is this pick questionable? Ayodele Achebe was still avaiable and had the better package.

Sleeper Pick: Aaron Donovan (LB, #92, 3rd round)
He is a real sleeper, because he was not physical enough in the combine, but he has a very good tackling technique.

Arizona Vipers Grade: C

Best Pick: Derek Hamm (DL, #11, 1 round)
Hamm is a potential star defender. He has good speed and strength and a lot of experience for a very young player.

Questionable Pick: Dirk Mcgraw (LB, #43, 2nd round)
Strength and intelligence are ok for a LB, but not great. The Vipers picked the last avaiable LB in the draft. A look to the side would have offer them a good DL with better skills and a special trait.

Sleeper Pick: Tyrell Cotter (P, #75, 3rd round)
The good thing was, that he is young, but his strength and experience were nothing special.

Podsabotin Charrs Grade: C+

Best Pick: Idrak Mehtiev (RB, #74, 3rd round)
This fast RB was a real steal in round 3. With his speed he should be a now weapon for the slovenian offense.

Questionable Pick: Basilio Veszprémi (CB, #42, 2nd round)
Not a good pick. This CB look more like an average strong safety. There were more fast CBs avaiable in the second round.

Sleeper Pick: Gharib Asari-Dokubo (TE, #10, 1st round)
He was definitly the best TE in the draft, but was he worth a Top 10 pick? I think this guy has a lot of potential and can surprise us.

Alp Devils Grade: B-

Best Pick: Pavel Pavlic (WR, #6, 1st round)
With their top pick, they jumped on the fastest and strongest WR in the draft. He can dominate the League at his position.

Questionable Pick: Zvonko Ivancic (DL, #38, 2nd round)
They picked a LB with great INT, but his physicals are not outstanding. Ivancic was converted to DL, and the team missed a good DL in the second round.

Sleeper Pick: Lovro Štrukelj (P, #70, 3rd round)
He was the best Punter in the draft and can solve their problems at this position for many years.

AC North

Nova Gorica Warriors Grade: B

Best Pick: Umar Russell (WR, #27, 1st round)
Great pick. They got the second fastest WR late in the first round and fast receivers have a very high value.

Questionable Pick: Rikhil Lata (RB, #91, 3rd round)
Picking him was not so questionable, but the question is, will he be fast enough to play in this league?

Sleeper Pick: Abzal Turaev (WR, #59, 2nd round)
Another WR with good speed should give a boost to the Warriors passing offense. This was a great pick, too.

Devon Warriors Grade: D+

They had no best picks, all were questionable.

Questionable Pick: Khaliq Ibrahim (K, #14, 1st round)
Yes he is a strong Kicker, yes he is their best pick, but there were reasons why they picked in the Top20 and the main reason were not too much missed field goals.

Questiobable Pick: Varshil Srivastava (WR, #46, 2nd round)
Most WR were gone in the first round, the team needed on and picked an average receiver. Turaev would have been the better pick here.

Questionable Pick: Žika Krajnc (SF, #78, 3rd round)
You can find some value in the 3rd round.... or crap. This player look average in all important categories.

Brisbane Meteors Grade: B+

Best Pick: Myles Burnette (LB, #7, 1st round)
He was one of the best defenders in the draft. Great combination of speed and strength. He was converted to LB, but I think he would be a better fit at DE.

Questionable Pick: Mauro Sheets (OL, #71, 3rd round)
They picked a OL in the third round. Perhaps the worst avaiable at his position. Another position would have make more sense.

Sleeper Pick: Mason Gee (SF, #39, 2nd round)
Good SF with good speed and he is smart. He can be a really good FS.

AC South

Nova Gorica Gamblers Grade: C+

Best Pick: Carmine Hermann (LB, #32, 1st round)
The former SF is good enough to play as LB. He is very fast, smart and is a sure tackler. Perfect pick at the end of the first round.

Questionable Pick: Mikhail Azizov (LB, #96, 3rd round)
Mr. Irrelevant is questionable, because the former QB was converted to LB. With his very high football-IQ he can make the transition.

Sleeper Pick: Kalamka Igwe (LB, #64, 2nd round)
They picked another SF and he should also play as LB. His skills are not so special, but QBs should fear him.

Hurricanes Grade: C

Best Pick: Evangelos Linard (OL, #17, 1st round)
The greek is a nice OL, with good Strenth. He can solve some problems in the Hurricanes OL for many years.

Questionable Pick: Delmar Forrest (QB, #81, 3 round)
Picking a QB in the last round is ok. But this might be a bust, because of his low INT. He is young and perhaps a conversion to another position would make sense.

Sleeper Pick: Everette Ryan (OL, #49, 2nd round)
Ryan is another OL for the Hurricanes. He has good strength and is very smart. Perhaps another good fit for the team.

Wesley Crushers Grade: B-

Best Pick: Mary Sturm (DL, #22, 1 round)
The team can be happy, that this star-DE fall so far in the first round. With his great strength and speed many OT will have problems to stop Sturm.

Questionable Pick: Joey Devore (SF, #86, 3rd round)
He is smart enough to be a good SF, but his Speed is to low for FS and this strength to low for SS.

Sleeper Pick: Chandler Barba (DL, #54, 2 round)
This undersized DL is a greater threat than he looks like. With his 5'11 many huge OTs have problems to block this slippery player.

AC West

Firenze Fappers Grade: B

Best Pick: Angelo Barry (CB, #29, 1st round)
This CB has very good speed, but there was a better CB avaiable. However Barry is still a good pick.

Questionable Pick: Clarence Findley (LB, #61, 2 round)
Findley was a former CB with good Speed. He was converted into a LB, which is questionable, because of his low INT and strength.

Sleeper Pick: Melvin Milligan (QB, #93, 3rd round)
This QB might be a steal. He is very smart and can lead an offense. His speed and strength is good, too.

London Silk Grade: A-

Best Pick: Wilburn Phipps (RB, #18, 1st round)
This RB is a monster. Outstanding speed and good strength. Perfect pick.

Questionable Pick: Dannie Blum (TE, #50, 2nd round)
Good pick in the second round. But can he improve his speed and more important his strength to be a allround TE?

Sleeper Pick: Antione Viera (FB, #82, 3rd round)
I think one of the best picks in the third round. This FB can be a real sleeper.

SV Furpach Grade: C-

Best Pick: Fidele Munyaneza (WR, #21, 1st round)
Munyaneza is an undersized slot receiver, who is difficult to tackle, because of his size. He is working had in the training to be better and a threat for the defense.

Questionable Pick: Yasini Akinjide (CB, #53, 2nd round)
The team decided to pick the younger instead of the faster CB in the second round. Was this a good decicion? This might be a busted pick.

Sleeper Pick: Jung-Hun Hwan (SF, #85, 3rd round)
The team digged deep in the last round and might found a valuable player. Hwan is very smart and is young enough to be better than he looks at the moment.

NC East

Monster Piskots Grade: C

Best Pick: Marian Konecný (CB, #25, 1 round)
Weird pick. The team missed some no-brainers. But this player has still great speed and is very young.

Questionable Pick: Zdenek Kubícek (LB, #57, 2nd round)
Good combination of INT and TW, but can he improve his physical skills to make the transition from CB to LB?

Sleeper Pick: Ota Tomšu (QB, #89, 3rd round)
Picking a QB with high INT can't be a huge mistake late in the third round. Perhaps he can turn into a great QB with improving his arm strength.

Paradise Regained Grade: B

Best Pick: Clive Wärchmann (RB, #23, 1st round)
The team wanted to improve the running game and picked a power runner with their first pick. This RB might be tough to stop and is fast in open space.

Questionable Pick: Hafiz Nzeogwu (OL, #55, 2nd round)
The second pice of the new run game was an OL. Hafiz has good strength, but is he strong enough to be great?

Sleeper Pick: Fehed Babangida (RB, #87, 3rd round)
Finding a RB with good speed late in the draft is real luck. The team can be happy with the pick and might found a real sleeper.

Hangdong Bulls Grade: C-

Best Pick: Zackary Kendrick (FB, #73, 3rd round)
What happened here? Such a good Ball carriere in the third round. A real steal and a great pick for the team.

Questionable Pick: Jay Ebanks (RB, #6, 1st round)
The team needed a RB, but why let thay some no-brainers pass in the Top10? A wasted pick.

Sleeper Pick: Linus Ejupi (RB, #41, 2nd round)
Another RB was taken in the second round with good Speed, very smart and a teamplayer.

NC North

Leeds Celtics Grade: C+

Best Pick: Leonard Handy (OL, #63, 2nd round)
This was the best pick, because drafting a good OL at the end of the second round is not bad. Handy is very young, had good strength and is very smart.

Questionable Pick: Santiago Lantz (LB, #31, 1st round)
Lantz is very smart and can be a great MLB. His Strength and speed is good, but not great. They passed also Achebe. Why?

Sleeper Pick: Roberto Bittner (LB, #95, 3rd round)
The former QB should play now as LB. He is very smart with good vision. How physical can he play? Perhaps he will be a future prospect or a bust.

Venice Panthers Grade: B+

Best Pick: Herbert Callahan (DL, #48, 2nd round)
Great Passrusher in the second round. He is strong and can slip easy out of blocks, because of his low body size.

Questionable Pick: Levi Lerma (TE, #80, 3rd round)
The former WR can be a good TE. He work hard in the training to be more physical.

Sleeper Pick: Martín Asensio (WR, #16, 1st round)
He is a sleeper pick, because the former FB must improve his catching to be an outstanding WR. But he was definitly the fastest player in the draft.

Plymouth Admirals Grade: B

Best Pick: Brett Harlow (DL, #12, 1st round)
Great DL. He can be a monster DE, because of his great strength and speed. His lower INT and TW should prevent not a great carrere.

Questionable Pick: Arron Drummond (RB, #76, 3rd round)
Good pick in the third round, but can he be fast enough for an every down RB? Perhaps he would be a better fit as FB.

Sleeper Pick: Jackson Harkins (SF, #44, 2nd round)
Young and fast SF. I think he can save the backfield for the Admirals.

NC South

Naprzód Marsz! Grade: C+

Best Pick: Paweł Szymczak (LB, #24 1st round)
This young LB knows everything about football and make allways the right decisions on the field. When he can improve this speed and strength a little bit he can be a star in the middle of the defense.

Questionable Pick: Witold Komoniewski (LB, #56, 2nd round)
Can a former WR really play as LB? He is young enough to make the transition, but I think it is not a good idea.

Sleeper Pick: Anzelm Waszak (LB, #88, 3rd round)
He was a SF in the collage and has enough INT and TW to play as LB. His Speed and Strength show enough room for improvements.


Raiders Tirol Grade: C+

Best Pick: Juan Ramón Nuñez (CB, #52, 2nd round)
Nunez is a defender with great speed and good INT and TW. He can help the team to make the playoffs this season. The team can be happy to find a valuable player in the 2nd round.

Questionable Pick: Hafidh Osei (LB, #20, 1st round)
QBs have to fear this young and experienced player. He can be a good passrusher, but are his physicals enough to be elite?

Sleeper Pick: Badru Diya (SF, #84, 3rd round)
Diya can fill some holes in the backfield. He can still improve his strength and might be a good fit as SS.

Hameln Rats Grade: C

Best Pick: Jan Wagner (OL, #13, 1st round)
Wagner was the strongest OL in this draft class. He is smart, but his teamwork in the Line ist only average. He is only 19 yo and can have long carrere.

Questionable Pick: Marijus Kesminas (SF, #77, 3rd round)
The team picked another QB in the last round and decided to play with him as SF. His vision is good to read the plays, but his tackling technique is very poor.

Sleeper Pick: Shawn Stiles (QB, #45, 2nd round)
Stiles is young, smart, and talented. What do you want more, if you look for a future QB. He can be a star QB in the future.

RG III Grade: B

Best Pick: Süleyman Schulz (CB, #8, 1st round)
I rated him as the best CB in the draft and he was worth an early pick. He has outstanding Speed and a good combination of INT and TW. QBs should avoid to pass into his direction.

Questionable Pick: Hans-Dietrich Müller (SF, #72, 3rd round)
Ok. He was perhaps the best available defender in the last round. He is a sure tackler, but he must paly more physical to save the backfield.

Sleeper Pick: Ernest Hildebrand (OL, #40, 2nd round)
He might be a great future OT, because he knows how to protect the QB. With more strength he will be a rock.

NC West

Lucea Cardinals Grade: C

Best Pick: Lewis Haughton (WR, #30, 1st round)
The team needed a receiver and got a young, smart, fast and experienced player. He is not a tall WR and defenders will have problems to tackle him.

Questionable Pick: Leo Jones (RB, #94, 3rd round)
Three players were left and the Cardinals took the RB. With his low Speed his future in this team is more than questionable.

Sleeper Pick: Abasi Owusu (WR, #62, 2nd round)
The player is young. With more speed and strength he might be an acceptable backup TE.

Kaunas Hurricane Grade: C

Best Pick: Abelardo Molina (OL, #19, 1st round)
The team picked a OL with really good strength. Was he really worth such a high pick? His TW and INT are not the best.

Questionable Pick: Manual Vines (OL#51, 2nd round)
Was it a good decision to pick another "old" OL in the second round? I think the team had more needs instead of an OL with not so good strength.

Sleeper Pick: Donato De Marchi (WR, #83, 3rd round)
To get a WR with accaptable Speed late in the draft is allways good. He can be an additional weapon for the pass game.

Nitro Shock Grade: E

Questionable Pick: Theodorus Von der Linden (FB, #26, 1st round)
This was a real shock! This FB can carry the ball very long..... in slow motion.... no threat for a defender. Wasted pick.

Questionable Pick: Jalaj Sehgal (FB, #58, 2nd round)
Next shock! Hey this guy is smart, but his job is to be fast and to carry the ball. Can he do his job? Very questionable.

Questionable Pick: Alden Kauffman (RB, #90, 3rd round)
He was the fastest of the 3 Nitro-draftees. Thats all to say about him. The team missed his chance to be more competitive in a strong division.

WoooHooo!

Thanks


Edit: Hermann is going to play CB, but he's not ready to play yet, that's why he's listed as a LB(best coach).

Lol going to make the same comment I did last time - but I value TW in my MLBs. And Hogan's TW is ~10points higher plus 1 year younger.

So imo that extra year training plus the 10 extra TW (~1 skill point a year) makes up for the 3 points he's behind on spd and he has the TW bonus on tackling so for me I still prefer my guy. I get where your coming from though and atm Ayodele Achebe is better but I needed a prospect, not a starter. So I'd still pick my guy again. Can't argue with the grade and the others tho. And my 3rd pick flopped, yellow cap on spd so no sleeper

"Questionable Pick: Santiago Lantz (LB, #31, 1st round)
Lantz is very smart and can be a great MLB. His Strength and speed is good, but not great. They passed also Achebe. Why? "

I wanted a young, 50 Int player to play MLB, or convert to SS as my current SS in now 30 years old.

Achebe's Int was 46.x

Not enough. I believe Int is more important than physicals for MLB/SS.

My draft order was:
#1 Ong
#2 Ahmed (renamed Lantz)
#3 Papp
#4 Achebe

And I didn't expect to get any of them!

I wound not rate the difference between 46.8 and 50 INT too high. Which of the two players will have the better physicals? Nobody knows!

P.S. I finished the draft analysis.
