Demand by category:
Top 10:
Line 5 (5 of the top 10 teams might consider a Lineman)
Skilled 7
Blitzer 8
Strength 7
Big 1
Next 10:
Line 5 (cumulative 10)
Skilled 6 (13)
Blitzer 5 (13)
Strength 2 (9)
Big 3 (4)
21-24:
Line 1 (cumulative 11)
Skilled 2 (15)
Blitzer 3 (16)
Strength 3 (12)
Big 1 (5)
So in the top 20, given even draft talent (not a fair assumption), we should see roughly 4 linemen, 5-6 skilled players, 5-6 blitzers, 3-4 strength players, and 1-2 big guys drafted. On average. Season 19 is very strong on Blitzers and Skill players and weak on Strength players; RF may include another season along with it.
With this in mind, making the Tomb Guardians into Big/Strength players is probably enough to let the Season 19 draft class stand alone (with the leftovers from last season): the few coaches looking for bigs all have other demands, and the lack of pure Strength players is made up for by an abundance of hybrids who really want to be Strength-types. |

To be honest, I have no real idea of what we need at this point at New Tomb. TG's seem set, I am hoping to not have to draft a skeleton and my Throw Ra's look pretty good too. The real need seems to be a Blitz Ra.
Curtis Martin is on 29 and has MB/T. If he can get to 31 he would be thinking of Guard or PO in my opinion. Guard being a need and Weeb Ewbank only having MB and 9 SPP, I might have to bite the bullet and try and find a Guard Blitz Ra late. However, I don't really know if I will have any good options by the time we have our selection.
What does Jackass Kiper think New Tomb will do or be able to do?
All I know is thank God Willie Colon lost AG, that ST he has gave us very little all season and I can find another skeleton to be a useless roadblock... |

Jackass Kiper thinks there are ZERO Guard Blitzers on the board. He thinks you should wait until the top 20 are down then work out a top 12. (Frankly, your odds of getting a Blitz-Ra at all aren't great.) |

Dakota Conwell had Guard and SF, still available. Only 2 skills tho, but a Guard Blitzer on the board.
I'd consider Wieks. A Mv 6 Wrackle Skellie to move with the Blitz Ras as support. Khemri suffer from low Mv, sometimes an extra move Skellie is nice |

Thus far none of the Strength/Blitzers have been drafted. Three of the five project nicely as Slann Blitzers (the other two are very draftable as Sauri or a Bull Centaurs). Some will go before they get to you, but your odds of getting a 2-skill Blitzer with Block and something worthwhile (MB or Dodge) are not bad.
Top ten actual draft picks
Blitzers: 4 (all listed as Skilled/Blitzer, all drafted as Blitzers)
Skilled: 4
Line: 1
Big: 1
Strength: 0 |

Well that's a kick in the teeth. The big need for us in my humble opinion. Might get stuck replacing Willie...
....
Yay. |

You probably are below the POMB line anyway, but maybe Amon Clark will be on the board, give you more Mighty Blow. Probably not but you never know. |

Weed Gawks are High Elves, so their draft will be an Elven Lino. |

So, of the first 16 picks, we've got:
8 Blitzers (7x Skill/Blitz, 1x Blitz only)
5 Skilled players
2 Line players
1 Big Guy
Still none of the 5 Strength players have been drafted. |

Blitzers are a coach's best friends it seems.  |

It's a Blitzer's world. The other players just live (ok, die) in it. That's why all the POMB went in the first 14 picks. Before all the +ST for cryin' out loud! |
