[b]* Xenaero - Electric Bills[/b]<br /><br />After having a problematic season Xen needs to bounce back and go with reliable players this time around.&nbsp; Xen is a D player mainly so he needs to go for O.&nbsp; There really are only three choices for him.&nbsp; Mikehail as a pure runner and topping the league in captures per round for two seasons now is the likely choice.&nbsp; If Xen thinks he can play top D this season he should pick Mike.&nbsp; Mike&#039;s weakness however is a lack of flexibility, he is best used a runner, any other position he is wasted and not nearly as good.&nbsp; Xen could also go for ItalianStallion or Whiteboy as well.&nbsp; Both are extremely strong generalists who can play any position.&nbsp; However, neither of them can run as good as Mike can.&nbsp; In a pinch however they can fill out any position which is very questionable if Mike can.<br /><br />Prediction - [i]Xen drafts Mikehail.[/i]<br />Other options - Whiteboy or Stall.<br /><br />[b]* Goatface* - Doom Raiders[/b]<br /><br />Goat is a generalist but I think he does best running.&nbsp; Again White and Stall are good picks.&nbsp; However I think Hatred can be a top D player and might complement Goat nicely if Goat plans on running this season.&nbsp; Midian is also someone I think excels at D(and really everywhere) but some captains have a hard time working with him as his hours are usually weird. Killingblair&nbsp; and Rottking are also always solid defenders.<br /><br />Prediction - [i]Goat drafts Whiteboy.[/i]<br />Other options - Hatred, Blair, Mid, RottKing or Stall.<br /><br />[b]* Tai - Killing Browns[/b]<br /><br />Everyone wants to see Tai do something else but D, and maybe this is the season he should.&nbsp; Last season KGB really had an extremely powerful lineup, on paper at least.&nbsp; Their O was pretty good but their D was not.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure who Tai should pick because I&#039;m not sure what position Tai is going to play this season.<br /><br />If Tai is smart he&#039;ll play middle this season.&nbsp; That means he needs to pick up D and O.&nbsp; He should focus on O now and worry about beefing up D second round.&nbsp; If Mike is left he should go for him.&nbsp; Doubtful Mike will be so Tai has a ton of options.&nbsp; It really comes down to who he thinks will be active and play good this season.&nbsp; You can name players like Climhazzard and even MionicDonut for example as O players but are they serious this season?&nbsp; Tai often likes to go for fellow R members so Legion, Beast or even Collision(who is probably toxic after last season) are strong possibilities.&nbsp; Saber is a consistent O player in the IDL.&nbsp; Mantis-X is another good O choice but I&#039;m under the impression they did not get along too great last time.&nbsp; However one strong generalist is left...<br /><br />Prediction - [i]Tai drafts Stall.[/i]<br />Other options - R members, Mantis-X, Saber.<br /><br />[b]* Jenova* - Berserker Packers[/b]<br /><br />Jen has to run after doing so well last season.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never really seen him play D but maybe he can.&nbsp; If he is planning to do O his picks should mirror what I suggested for Goat.&nbsp; There will still be lots of D guys left.&nbsp; From ST Jen knows RussianDumbass is a great player with big D skills.&nbsp; I think out of all the captains thus far Jen has the most flexibility so it&#039;ll be interesting to see who he chooses.<br /><br />Prediction - [i]Jen drafts Rus.[/i]<br />Other options - Blair, Hatred, Mid, Mantis-X, Saber, or RottKing.<br /><br />[b]* Nostar* - Brokeback Cowboys[/b]<br /><br />I&#039;d love to see Nostar mix it up and play O all season this time around.&nbsp; I think he knows his D is his best asset thus he&#039;ll be too smart to try that.&nbsp; Nostar can either go for another strong fragging player to complement his D or an offensive player.&nbsp; It depends who is left at this pick.&nbsp; If somehow Mike is left that is a perfect choice.&nbsp; It&#039;d be cool to see Stall get picked by Nostar just because of the &quot;worst franchise&quot; comment last season but I doubt that&#039;ll happen.&nbsp; Rus has little IDL experience but Nostar knows him so if he is around that might be a possibility.&nbsp; Mantis-X and Saber can consistently put up a fair amount of captures.&nbsp; With the league&#039;s best captain they should do even better.&nbsp; Ladna is also another under rated player who makes up for any weaknesses in his game with his brain(and rcon!).&nbsp; RottKing deserves a look as well and might really flourish under Nostar&#039;s evil leadership given the right incentives.<br /><br />Prediction - [i]Nostar drafts Saber.[/i]<br />Other options - Mantis-X, RottKing, Hatred, Mid, Blair or Ladna.<br /><br />[b]* LordBritish* - Flag Steelers[/b]<br /><br />LordBritish is a good all round player but he usually does best on O.&nbsp; He should focus his picks on the remaining strong fragging D players left.&nbsp; He needs someone very reliable and good experience.&nbsp; He needs to build a foundation for his team.&nbsp; Ideally LB would be able to get White, or Stall but it is very unlikely either will remain at this stage in the draft.<br /><br />Prediction - [i]LB drafts RottKing.[/i]<br />Other options - Mantis-X, Hatred, Mid, Blair, or Ladna.<br /><br />[b]* Shadow Ghost - Spread Eagles[/b]<br /><br />Shadow Ghost had a brain failure last season and picked Metalblack(haha!) instead of someone else.&nbsp; Hopefully he can straighten up this time around.&nbsp; Shadow can play any position but he really does best at middle putting up the frags.&nbsp; He has a lot of flexibility depending who is left and what position he feels comfortable at.&nbsp; I think his biggest strength is fragging so he should pick another top fragger then go for O next round.<br /><br />Prediction -[i] Shadow drafts Hatred.[/i]<br />Other options - Mantis-X, Mid, Blair, or Ladna.<br /><br />[b]* Ralphis - Super Chargers[/b]<br /><br />Another strong generalist but one who leans rather heavily towards O.&nbsp; Ralph really likes to practice so he wants an active player.&nbsp; There should be lots of good talent left even this late in the first round.&nbsp; Blair, Ladna or perhaps Climhazzard might be good pickups for the Unidoom connection.&nbsp; If Ralphis plans to mainly play O he needs to beef up his D at this point before no good D is left.&nbsp; If somehow a D player I previously recommended is still available they would be a good choice.&nbsp; Nazz is someone I&#039;ve played with in the past who can play quite solid D but is he going to be serious this season?&nbsp; Strangle and WraithVerge have great shots and would do good in a D position under Ralph.<br /><br />Prediction - [i]Ralphis drafts Ladna.[/i]<br />Other options - Mantis-X, Mid, or Blair.
