In a move that surprises no-one, The Buff 'n' Low Bills have selected Herger as the first overall pick. He has to be a Runner; my guess is that he replaces the excellent, but injured, Banks Fastforger.

#1 Herger: Dwarf Runner. 6 5 4 8 Block, Side Step, Sure Hands, Thick Skull, 111 SPP.

Next up:
2) Jacksonville Pactuars (Chaos Pact, Apojar)
3) Cleveland Pansy Dawgs (Elf, Valen)
4) New Oldheim Saints (Human, Mr_Foulscumm)
5) New York Tyrants (Dark Elf, DrPoods)
6) New York Wrecks (Chaos, Robocoyote)
7) Da'Kawkgo Kodiaks (Norse, Kilowog1)
8) Keg City Brew Chiefs (Norse, BlackDice)

Let's play a game.

There are 60 players in the draft. There are 41 draft picks. Pick up to 19 players you think won't get drafted, and one you think might be Mr. Irrelevant (who will go to the New Oldheim Saints). You get 1 point for each player you pick correctly, and 10 points if you get Mr. Irrelevant right.

Here is the official board.

#2 Jacksonville draft Stephone Attacker, a Marauder with MB, Tackle, Guard, +ST, and 69 SPP.

The #3 overall pick is a shocker. The Cleveland Pansy Dawgs (Pro Elves, Valen) select a Thrower with Block, Accurate, and Kick! His name is Jonathan Moxon, product of Nibraskah (Herger's teammate), and we had him rated at one and a half stars.

#4, New Oldheim (Humans, MrFoulscumm) pick Matt D.B. out of ITBA, a TacklePOMB +ST Blitzer with 63 SPP. We had him at 4.5 stars. As expected, all three players rated above 4 stars went in the top 4 picks.

#5, the New York Tyrants (Dark Elves, DrPoods), take Casanova, also of Nibraskah (3 Wanabees selected in the first 5 picks). A Witch Elf with +ST, Block, SS, and Leap, Casanova brings 51 SPP and a bad attitude. We had her at 4 stars.

More draft picks to be posted soon. I'll do 'em in bunches of 3 every few hours. So far the first 10 picks have been made.

#6, the New York Wrecks (Robocoyote) take a Chaos Warrior, Bud Brooks of Arkansas. With +ST, Block, Mighty Blow, and 40 SPP. They'll be renaming him a little to fit the franchise, but here's hoping he's the same level of player. 4-star player.

#7, the Da'Kawgo Kodiacs (Kilowog1) take Brooks's bookend, Brandone Burlesworth, as an Ulfwerener. +ST, Block, Mighty Blow, 33 SPP, and now wiff da Frenzeh! Another 4-star player.

#8, Keg City (BlackDice) reaches a little to find a talent fitting a need, and takes Ulfwerener Gabe King of California, with Block, Guard, Mighty Blow, and 44 SPP. Good player. We only had him at two-and-a-half stars, but at least one other coach had him high on his draft board.

#9, the Baltimore Stompers (Jim_Fear) pick Slann Blitzer Tincho Campo of ITBA, with Block, Dodge, Guard, Side Step, and 51 SPP. We had Campo at three and a half stars.

#10, Houstovania (Antithesisoftime) picks a Werewolf, Kealoha Pilares of Hawaii, with Block, Dodge, +MA, and 49 SPP. Another 3.5-star player.

#11, The Miami Dark Fins (Dark Elves, Bullroarer4) take Keith Adder, a Blitzer from Clemson, with +MA, +AG, Tackle, Strip Ball, and 56 SPP. We had him at three stars.

#12, the Waaghrizona Carnivorcs (FRSHMN) picked Britton Maxwell of Alabama as a BOB. With Block, Guard, and Tackle at 44 SPP, we feel like he was on par with Gabe King (taken 8th), and the best BOB still on the board at two and a half stars.

#13, the Weaklington Frailskins (Pro Elves, Garcangel) picked Catcher M. David of ITBA. He comes with +MA, Block, Guard, and 40 SPP. We had him at three stars.

#14, the Tampa Bowl Smokeaneers (HIgh Elves, Mrt1212) took Catcher Rhys Lloyd of Mihn'ee. Lloyd comes with Sure Feet, Sprint, Sidestep, and +MA. We had him at three and a half stars.

@#12

Was a tough call if I go with Britton or with #15 Fonoti Jr.

Glad to see Fonoti Jr. found another Orc team to play in Wink
