Lax1 picking (twice)...

[ohmilax34]

Matt, I often post some thoughts about the draft after the draft. I mention some picks that I thought were particularly good or befuddling. Do you mind if I do that mid-draft? Things are kinda slow here and I figured it would stir some discussion.

Of course I don't mind. The only no-no is talking about currently un-drafted players. Though, keeping in mind that this league has never been shy about changing stuff within the league, maybe this should be changed, too. Maybe...

[OCanada]

Ohmi

I think its a great idea. Por favor, try not to link befuddling and Ocanada and make them synonymous

[ohmilax34]

Since the draft is moving kinda slowly, I figured I'd chime in with some thought on what's happened in the draft so far. I don't think there are many fascinating options left in the draft, so it won't be hard to avoid discussing undrafted players.

Best picks (excluding my own):
6 1.6 Keoni007 Leo Johnson FR A Yale
I think he part of a pretty clear top 3 with McAdorey and Schutz. Both talented and seemingly can fit right in on the Yale attack. I wouldn't be surprised if Yale is pretty good again this spring and makes the quarterfinals.

13 1.13 FCALax Shane Knobloch SO M Rutgers
I think that if someone who hasn't been very successful in fanlax would've drafted Knobloch, I wouldn't think the pick was as good, but since FCA picked him it looks like a great move. I don't think Knobloch is the next Paul Rabil, but he's talented and you know he's going to get some points going forward. I question the upside of the pick, but there wasn't an obvious player to pick at this spot.

20 1,20 UK Lax Ronan Jacoby JR A Rutgers
21 2.1 UK Lax Eric Spanos FR A UMD
UK's roster is good. With these picks, he gets points now and in the future. I think Spanos will score lots of points, but maybe not this season.

28 2.8 FCALax Sam English JR M Princeton
Another FCA pick. I wanted English with the next pick. Very athletic, very good junior A box scorer. He was probably worthy of a 1st round pick.

30 2,10 OCanada Casey Wilson FR M Denver
I really know nothing about Wilson, besides he's a very good box scorer. Denver is a little tricky to figure out because sometimes they get guys from BC, like Semple, and they don't play much. I have avoided Denver lately after getting burned by Riley Curtis. I think the 2nd round is a good place for Wilson, because his ceiling seems high.

33 2.13 CalLaxDad Nick Dupuis JR A UMBC
Not a sexy pick, but probably worthy of a first round pick.

49 3.9 Typical Lax Dad Mark Sickler SO M PSU
I considered him with my 2nd round pick. If PSU can get their offense clicking close to how it was with Ament running the show, then watch out for a lot of their guys to put up points.

Befuddling Picks:
17 1.17 GreenieLax Mike Hawkins SR A Notre Dame
24 2.4 GreenieLax Georgetown D
Greenie's roster was ravaged by graduation, so I think he's clearly in rebuilding mode. Using his first two picks on a senior and a defense (two roster spots that open up again for the 2023 season) doesn't make sense to me.

[Matnum PI]

I don't think there are many fascinating options left in the draft, so it won't be hard to avoid discussing undrafted players.

I beg to differ. I see several. At lease from where I'm sitting. I'll chime in when those players are picked.

Points are points. And Greenie needs points in 2022. Hawkins i don't know but the G'town D will all but certainly deliver points.

[PATalk]

Kudos to Greenie for pioneering a new draft strategy and winning another championship! Quick to seeing the opportunity created by 5th years and the transfers it's providing.

[OCanada]

Points are points but they do carry an opportunity cost. I think the choice made depends on how the owner views the quality of their team.

I finally believe I can compete this season. My attack will score a lot of points. I should get decent midfield production this year.

Agreed

I think you drafted well this year, but I'm saying that assuming you have inside info on Mackesy.

[Matnum PI]

From the perspective of not-Fantasy D1 Men's Lacrosse, coaches love point-getting transfers. Even if they're just there for a year. Obviously different because of the difference in numbers of players on the roster but, i think, the comparison still holds true.

Plus Knox and maybe Mackesy. Having Shellenberger and Robertson should really help. A lot of good players graduated last May, so this year is pretty open.

[Matnum PI]

Cornell's D is a question mark...

Bottomline, it's a strong squad.
