I jumped in an took the reigns in Kalispel just as the draft was starting, so I have no history with any of the old players. Lots of people moving out and lots of young players moving in. The roster had 30-some players at the start of the draft and I expanded the roster to 65 for TC.
I planned to move the team, but I'll hold off for this year at least and figure out where to move them to!

The draft looks good so far. I’ll follow it up after Ex2 for changes.
1.3 ILB Tanner Johannson 52/55 (59/82) – Chose Johannson over Kirk Gray (1.6 to NOS) and went for the guy with the incredible combines over the good combines and better bars. He bumped up in TC, but still looks miles behind Gray – this looks like the wrong call so far, but he’ll still be a serviceable MLB.
2.2 DE Hugh Kirk 26/61 (23/53) – Lots of players I considered for this pick, but Run D and PRT swayed me. So far so good.
3.22 WR Bubba Hummel 17/43 (18/34) – Traded the 3.3 to Chi-town for 3.22 4.24 5.23 and a 7th next year. Hummel won’t gain much extra yardage after the catch, and he may drop a few, but his RR reads 4/68 for me so he should help the cause. Fans love him already. Must be the name.
4.2 S Fred Clayton 20/51 (19/43) – Solid bars. He’ll be a starter soon enough. Good value at this stage.
4.24 DT Peyton Porter 22/36 (22/34) – I think this pick fired before I reset the priority list. Mediocre, but the fans love him too. Hmmmm.
5.3 Thurman Hill 28/52 (30/47) – Another receiver with great RR bar and low avoid drops – but beggers can’t be choosers by the 5th round – I’ll take him with his flaws. He’ll be a leader quickly – leadership is 96 and personality is 100.
5.23 RB Ruben Macias 28/40 (29/39)- looked a lot better before TC. Backup RB that should be able to catch a few from the backfield. His RR is his best asset and he may end up as a WR before long.
6.2 QB Britt Raines 22/48 (22/43) – His combines were bad, but his bars looked quite good. I held off on picking him for two rounds already at this point and he was definitely worth a shot with a 6th rnd pick. Fingers crossed.
7.3 WR Dennis Upshaw 15/30 (16/28) – I had to replace pretty much my entire receiver corps, so why not add another WR? His bars were pedestrian at best, but he ran a 4.30 dash. Fastest in the draft class. You’d think that would show more than it does currently. Looking forward to his progress.
Late FA:
Still lots of holes to fill at this stage and a boatload of money to spend. Picked up MOST of the LFAs I was after, but did miss out on a few that I should have spent more $ on. LB Bill Smith and CB Asher Laudenbach, who both look like keepers. Most of this group has a long way to go before being called starters, but due to the empty roster spots they’ll make the show this year and collect a little money and a few stories to tell their grandkids down the road.
