This draft is only for players recycled off of dropped teams actually. And yes, Hearthstone is Houston. The only team name I'm not clear on is Brasky's Dark Elves in Cleveland. Except for Eric Metcalf, the +AG players in this expansion draft are rather sorry compared to the remaining blitzers. That, and the regular draft will be a great place to get +AG. I could see somebody drafting Payup Manning!, but that's the only one with more than two skills. |

K, guys: it's time for the Open Mock Draft Roundtable. This is open to anybody: just do it, baby! Pick number, team name, player name, position is good enough. Like "#1 Indy: Jumpin' Jory Johnson, Thro-Ra" for example.
Below is the draft order. Here is the league page with links to all the teams, and here is the draft board. We'll start with the top ten, including all the expansion teams at picks 8-10. (These teams will have a couple really good players, and all the rest at 6 SPP.) Note that all these teams get unlimited 6 SPP players after the draft is over, so don't worry about that first skill… unless the player to be drafted doesn't have it.
#1 Indianecropolis Pejòshkwe
Khemri, Drokmar
Needs: A Tomb Guardian with Block, maybe a Thro-Ra to replace AV-busted Jerome Bettis.
#2 Lothern Bay Bolt Throwers
High Elf, WingedHuman
Needs: Catcher, Blitzer, Thrower: the Bolt Throwers are little more than an expansion team.
#3 In-Sane Louie Goats
Chaos Garnak
Needs: Warrior, Beastman. Like the Bolt Throwers, the Goats are thrashed.
#4 Buffalo Hillbillies
Wood Elf,Burgun824
Needs: Lineman, Catcher, Thrower. They got their Wardancers last season.
#5 Ban Francisco Footy Fighters
Orc, keggiemckill
Needs: Blitzer. The other positions look good, but the Blitzer squad is subpar.
#6 Gnawleans Stank
Nurgle, fatfinley
Needs: Warrior, Pestigor. The Stank have developed pretty evenly.
#7 Pittsburgh Pirates
Chaos Dwarf, Nicodemus1
Needs: Blocker, Hobgoblin. The playmakers look great, but the depth is shoddy.
#8 Hearthstone Hexen (Expansion)
Dwarf, Pentalarc
Needs: Runner, Blitzer, Slayer. Blocker too, but this is a soft year.
#9 New Tomb Jets (Expansion)
Khemri, DrPoods
Needs: Tomb Guardian. If they don't draft Eric Metcalf in the expansion draft, they might take a Thro-Ra.
#10 Cleveland (???) (Expansion)
Dark Elf, BillBrasky
Needs: Blitzers, Witches, Runners, Assassins. |

Here's my effort
#1 Ind: Jevon Kearse, Tomb Guardian, Florida.
#2 LB: Jumpin' Jory Johnson, Catcher, U.Con.
#3 InL: Gary "Pyro" Willburn, Beastman, U.Con.
#4 Buf: Hundley, Catcher, UCLA.
#5 BF: Alexander Teich, Blitzer, Navy.
#6 Gnw: Chase Garnham, Pestigor, Texas Tech.
#7 Pit: Jack "Walk-On" Walker, Hobgoblin, Fresno State.
#8 Hea: Michelle Dickinson, Runner, Arizona.
#9 NTJ: Jack Mewhort, Tomb Guardian, Florida.
#10 Cle: Emmit Smith, Lineman, Florida. |

Why would Buffalo not take a +ST wardancer if they're still on the board? One of the two they drafted last year is completely worthless. |

I wouldn't fault you for this, but it is effectively killing a really good player, 'cause both of those Dancers are solid. If you do this, I have Ban Francisco drafting Nelly KnockYurBlockOff from Washing-a-ton. |

Colt Nichter could be an option for NTJ. Although he projects as more of a blitzer type, having a +MA, Block, Tackle TG could be very interesting.
Am I throwing people off the scent? Who knows? |

Well without looking at the player, I love that name. |

The Expansion draft is done, and I'm batting .833.
#1 New Tomb Jets (Khemri, DrPoods)
Eric Metcalf, Thro-Ra, Cleveland. +2AG, Block, MB (SH), 51 (84).
#2 Hearthstone Hexen (Dwarf, Pentalarc)
Trevor "Mutt-Mutt" Flyton, Runner, Cleveland. Juggernaut, Block, MB, PO, JU, 133.
#3 Cleave Land Brown Dawg Pound
David Attacker, Lineman, Seattle. Block, Kick, DP, 31.
#4: Cleave Land
D.C. "Alphabet Soup" Jefferson, Blitzer, Arizona. MB, PO, JU, 31.
#5 Hearthstone
Josie Skull, Slayer, Chicago. Tackle, MB, Guard, SF, 62.
#6 New Tomb Jets
Michael Bargen, Tomb Guardian, Cleveland. Block, Guard, MB, BT.
No compensatory picks have been awarded yet, but there's still time. Reviewing the teams, it looks like In-Sane Louie might also have a compensatory pick in this draft, given that they're below 1500k (before UDFAs). |

Speaking to the New Tomb Jetz GM, they were extremely pleased with the outcome. Probably the best they could have done. |
