Example: Patriots
-
Primary Need: OLine help at all positions, maybe Center lowest priority as our starter is out for the year and backup has been decent. Our RT should be a guard so don't worry about over-drafting OT, we'd be happy Onwenu be forced back to guard. 1st round guard Cole Strange is often injured and nothing special when he isn't.
-
Secondary Need: Defense pretty much everywhere, can improve at all positions, our big contract guys are having run ins with cops or playing poorly under new coach.
-
What Patriots don't need: QB, TE, WR, ST. We found our QB in Drake Maye, TE Hunter Henry is great, and the WR room is full of potential that I believe deserves another year of seasoni
Zaccharie Risacher = Tristan De Silva
Cody Williams = Stephon Castle = Kyshawn George
My Examples:
-
Favorite: Matas Buzelis
-
Dislike: Zaccharie Risacher
-
Safest: Donovan Clingan
-
Riskiest: Ja'Kobe Walter
-
Overrated: Stephon Castle
-
Underrated: Daron Holmes II
-
Future All Star: Dalton Knecht
-
Fools Gold: Cody Williams
-
Boom/Bust: Isiah Collier
-
Risacher and Cody Williams divebombed their stock with poor play and it was always overinflated because of the bad class.
-
Topic hasn't played in months after jumping to a higher league and getting injured, now seemingly scared to hurt stock more.
-
Clingan and Castle are good, solid 2 way players, but very limited on offense
-
Sarr is a roll of the dice if any of his flashes of offense can click
-
Reed and Dillingham are undersized and forced to ride the bench
Maybe the top2 most talented prospects in the draft shouldn't be falling.
Examples:
-
This years draft will have teams focus more on floor than ceiling, its a bad draft so lets get the lesser but sure thing over the possible bust but high ceiling.
-
If you look at Buzelis, Risacher, and Cody Williams and factor in their poor play, and ask yourself who you'd rather have, I think the answer is Buzelis. Each had their spotlight as a possible 1st overall and I think we now see none should be worthy of #1 even in a bad draft.
-
Ron Holland in a bad draft I think will get a late stock boost, looking at the lottery he's got a much better floor than most and his areas of needed improvement aren't unrealistic. With Buzelis injured early and a weak coaching staff I thin
Both are great athletes that can shoot, and project very well into the NBA.
I'm getting deeper into prospect pool late 2nd round ranked guys and just confused why all these talented players are ranked so low when the first round is so boring.
Is it good? Or unnecessary in a Merfolk shell? Is 4 Deeproot Pilgrimage, 4 Mothdust Changeling, 2 Intruder Alarm a good number?
Personally I felt that [[Deeproot Pilgrimage]] was too slow for modern, but I've come around on it's usage with [[Mothdust Changeling]] combined with [[Intruder Alarm]] turning it into a 3 card combo neo Splinter Twin option.

There's a bunch of lottery projected guys who just don't impress me, while Dillon is a late 1st rounder who looks massive at 6'6 with long arms and there's just not big holes in his game like some lottery guys have. Good stats, nba ready body, good measurables, decent shooter w good FT%.

I want to like him more than I do because of his raving leadership qualities, but I get the feeling his handles won't be good enough for his playstyle in the NBA.
This years top ballhandlers seem to have big flaws to go along with it, how would you rank them? Does Filipowski make your list?
