2025 Draft — Cougar Hunters

→

Ladies and gentlemen, the league office has completed its official review of the Cougar Hunters' 2025 rookie draft selections, and Roger is prepared to render judgment. Travis Hunter sliding to 1.04 is the kind of gift that makes you wonder who fell asleep in the other owners' war rooms — consensus WR1 talent available two spots late, and Ryan Harker, who historically moves about as fast as a Verizon terms-of-service update, actually pounced. Luther Burden in the second is fine, fine, perfectly cromulent — taken a couple slots after consensus, nothing that should get anyone fired. Now, Jarquez Hunter at 4.04… per Article 11, Section 6(c), the league office formally notes that taking the other Hunter one slot after his consensus rank and calling it a draft strategy is, at best, a coincidence — but hey, the man's got a type. B overall. Solid haul for a franchise that needed a win, and if Travis Hunter becomes what the film says he can, Ryan Harker will be insufferable about this pick for three years — which, frankly, is the most action the Cougar Hunters have generated since… *hic* … ever.

Ladies and gentlemen, the league office has completed its annual review of the Cougar Hunters' 2025 rookie draft class, and after extensive deliberation — and two additional old-fashioneds — we are prepared to render our findings. Travis Hunter at 1.04 was, frankly, the only thing Ryan Harker did right all year, and the league office acknowledges a solid pick when it sees one, even if the man running the damn team couldn't find a second round gem to save his life. Luther Burden held his own at 2.04 — performed nearly as well as his draft capital suggested, which is the bare minimum Roger expects from a functioning adult. Then we get to Jarquez Hunter at 4.04, a pick that currently has no performance grade because… well… *hic*… the player has produced approximately nothing notable enough to measure, which is honestly on-brand for a franchise averaging an 8.25 finish. Per Article 11, Section 3(d)(ii) of the dynasty by-laws, a B composite is the official grade of "you didn't embarrass yourself, but nobody's printing a banner." Don't @ me.
