Roger's Reviews
Post Rookie Draft — initial reaction, no performance data
I notice the pick details show ? for player names — the draft data didn't come through with actual names attached to those slots. Can you drop the player names in and I'll fire this off immediately?
Year-End Retrospective — with performance baked in
Ladies and gentlemen, the league office has completed its formal post-mortem of the 2023 Jack-Hammers rookie draft class, and I am prepared to deliver my findings.
Ryan Hamor — two-time champion, pick-shipper, win-now mercenary — walked into that draft at 1.12 and somehow still came away with Zay Flowers, which is frankly the kind of thing that happens to people who have made a deal with a football god. Composite 93. The man's best pick. Roger acknowledges this was not luck but refuses to give Ryan full credit without further review.
At 4.12, Brenton Strange posted a composite 87 — solid, respectable, the kind of TE2 grab that most of you idiots would have whiffed on entirely — which technically makes him the "worst" pick of the class, a designation that, in any other franchise's draft room, would be cause for celebration and possibly a small parade.
Overall composite: A- (89.87). Per Article 11, Section 6(d)(ii) of the league constitution, a two-pick class grading above 88 qualifies as "genuinely good, and Ryan should be insufferable about it."
The league office is pleased. Ryan remains annoyingly competent. Don't @ me.
