Well since CJ accused my 1st round pick of being a college stoner and with 4/20 so close, I ran with that naming rookies. Michael Stahl becomes O.G. Kush and he boomed quite nicely and should be a stud if my QB can get him the ball. My 2nd round TE Bubba Diesel lost 1 point but he is still fast and can long snap so he'll be in the Gem City awhile.

My 2nd 2nd round pick, Berry Gelato boomed 3 points and should be a solid player, albeit a little slow at 70 speed. In the 3rd round I drafted another TE but decided to try Purple Urkle at LT because he was already 270 lbs and was higher rated there than TE pre-camp. Post camp is a different story as his blocking cratered while his pass catching pretty much stayed the same, which isn't good to begin with, yet I'll move him back to TE.

4th round pick, C Cherry Garcia lost 4 points and doesn't project as a starter, yet he'll stick around at least a year here.

My 5th round pick was K Scooby Snacks and originally I was going to make this a redshirt year as I figured he'd drag along on accuracy like my rookie USFL kicker. Nope, he decided to unleash all his accuracy now and is already 94 kick strength and 100 kick accuracy. He will be our kicker as long as he wants, or until he gets old and I find Scooby Snacks Jr.

Another 1st rd pick busts
Uhg !

Only had one bust out of eight picks. That's probably a first for me.

Wranglers had extra picks this draft and didn't get much done with them. Added two high end talents at premium positions and looks like a couple solid contributors but the extra picks didn't pan out too much. Whaley, Hinkle, and Tillson busting are really not ideal as they all had great intangibles for where they were drafted and would have draft day steals if they boomed(imo.)

Edit: Winchell booming made this class worth it though by himself

PHI is happy with draft returns. Not excited.

Dakota had 1 goal this off-season and that was to get younger. Last season we barely sneaked into the postseason with an aging roster so it was time to cut out the old and bring in the new.

With no 1st round pick and free agency the typical waste land of young talent, it wasn't easy but I took some steps towards my goal.

32 of 60 players are 5 years or under with another 18 players between years 6-8.

That leaves me with 10 "old" players in year 9 or more & several of them with be cut on roster cutdown day.

TRAINING CAMP

With no 1st rounder, I was looking for anyone capable of making the team. I had 3 booms & 4 bust.

2nd rounder
CB Ellis Go-Karts
5/-2
he has 96 speed which is an asset this team desperately needs so he will start.

3rd rounder
FS Courtney Ray
3/-8
83 speed at 267 lbs so he will continue to lose weight and play LB and eventually start despite busting.

4th round
FS Daniel Simpson
3/+1
87 speed at 223 lbs and will figure in somewhere at LB.

5th round
WR Angelo Collier
2/+2
88 speed at 238 lbs so he should hit 90 speed and has a chance in a weak WR room to make team.

6th round
WR Bernard Gallop
5/-2
Only 73 speed but 94 acc who had a chance to make the team with a boom as a WR but his 90 run blocking could make him an option at TE, also a weak group.

7th round
WR Willie Ferreira
+2/-3
Only 71 speed and a Longshot to make the team, he needed to boom which he didnt. The roster sacks so he might make the squad based solely on his youth.

Free agent rookie
RB Joseph Waller
+5/+8
He was drafted & cut by Buffalo in the 6th round. His run/pass blocking intrigued me despite being slow with 45 speed but having 92 acceleration. He boomed big and was immediately named starting FB as his run/pass blocking should both near 100 as he develops.

I know everyone will be happy to see my 1st round receiver busted and I got no real impact players from this draft. (Not including a couple other rookies I cut)
