I was overjoyed that Dover slipped all the way to 8. I thought he was a top 5 lock. Run stuffer, good in pass coverage. In my opinion, best LB in the draft.

Hi.

I thought a lot before my pick.
I sent to à QB before the all good CB and FS still available...

A QB because I think he's more important than a FS or a CB... Which were better on my board.
This QB because for my point if view he was the safiest. And is young. A QB keep going for more than 10 years.
Not those FS MLB and CB.

But only the future I'll tel me if I were right or wrong

Chad Aguilar went early, being he's a vet. I thought he'd last until 2nd or 3rd round. I won't be here for the majority of the draft probably due to work and other duties, but I'm glad I got my LB!! Best of luck to all!

Getting back to the first rounders, pick 9 was another CB with Calgary Cutters picking....

(James Baer)>>>Tarin Rice CB - Auburn

There's no doubting Rice's quality and he's good to go from day one. The worry is taking a 28 year old with a top 10 pick. Short term, he could be defensive MVP this year but his age makes him a reach this early. Grade C-

Rounding out the top 10 are the 8 Dragons of Kowloon, they took....

LB Frank Cochran - Texas

Fundamentally sound but his technique needs some polish. For my money, not as good as Dover but hey, Dover's off the board. Very good pick who wouldn't have been out of place in the top 5 picks. Grade A

Berlin Blitz were next on the clock and the German fans in attendance went wild when they took the first WR of the draft.

WR Aaron Salvador - San Jose State

'El Salvo' is a Corner backs worst nightmare. Blistering speed, brave as a Lion and good hands. This guy looks the real deal and should've been a top 5 pick. Grade A+

In my defense, I was in the process of moving Salvador up to be my pick with one minute to spare, according to my machine, but my pick was already made.

On to Bermuda, the Triangles go with Defense as they took

DE: (Jeffrey Buck) Crazy Joe Davola - Washington State

Another top quality pick who could've been a top 5 pick. The Triangles will be overjoyed to see this raging bull still on the board at 1.12. Barring a TC disaster, Davola should grow into one of, if not the best bookend edge rusher in the League. Grade A++

Pick 13 went to the Black Sea Reds

Chad Aguilar QB Nebraska

'The Reds are here for today, three year plans are for teams that want to lose' was the mantra coming out of the Reds Front Office following the surprise pick of 28 year old signal caller, Aguilar. The veteran has raised eyebrows but he's potentially an MVP if they can build a team around him. He's a first round talent that many felt would fall to round 2. One thing we all know - you can't win in MFN Football without a QB and Black Sea have a good one. Grade B this would've been higher if he was 2 or 3 years younger.

London Underground up next....

CB (Lawrence McArdle) Tristan Da Cunha: Other?

Arguably the fastest player in the League. Like James Dover he has excelled at a low level and there are doubts about his ability to step up to this level. Not only is he quick, he's smart and well disciplined. He lacks in strength and needs to develop his technique. His speed alone makes him an asset but camp and pre-season will reveal more. I think he's been over-rated based on his excellent College record, he's going to be good but is he going to be exceptional? Grade A-
