Dropping:
Aidan Olmstead Loyola A
Bobby Abshire Army M

Adding
1st Round: Chad Palumbo Princeton FR A
2nd Round: Matt Minicus Loyola FR A







Still a lot of good players left.

1. HOLY LORDED.......THIS YEAR IS LOADED!! This year is absolutely loaded with offensive talent. It helps when we add three new teams (Harvard, Villanova, Brown), throw in a ton of COVID 5th year transfers, and a pretty talented freshman class. Lots of impact picks!!

2. ALL-AMERICAN'S.....Still amazes me how every draft, previous All-American's (Devon McLane, Matt Campbell, and my #2 pick) and future All-American's (Sam King, Chris Lyons) get passed up each year for gambles on unproven freshman. Sure some will pan out, but many do not! We're talking about All-Americans....the best of the best!

3. HORRIFIC!!!.......Worst Picks of the first round: Aidan Aitken (FR - UMD) and Dom Pietramala (FR - UNC)....remember meeting Aidan as a 6th grader. Unfortunately it will take him a while to ever even get a chance to sniff the field at Maryland (reoccurring problem for many!). He will be out transferring back to his home state at Jacksonville in 2 years or less. CalLaxDad.....you got a good returning group of players....extra picks coming.......you could have won now!! But not by wasting a pick on Petro Jr. who will probably transfer to Cuse eventually anyways. Petro Jr. might be a stud down the road....but you could have won now!!

4. THE LOCKS!!........Best Picks - Chris Lyons (48 pts as a FR), Sam King (46 pts as FR), and Devon Mclane (71 pts as a SOPH)..........STUDS!!! I was hoping to make Dante Trader be a part of this list, but I guess will have to wait till later rounds when he is dropped

5. DON'T SLEEP..............Defenses..........no one values them......17 finished with less than negative 10 points

Excited for a great season fellas! Always so much fun and always much love to you all.....especially PA TALK. MATNUM....thanks for all your time and efforts in coordinating and running everything. You the man!!! Time to take a nap for a week and come back for the 3rd round. Excited to see what studs you leave me for rounds 3 and 4!!

FCA selects: Thomas McConvey - GR - MIDFIELD (UVA)
FCA drops: Dylan McIntosh SR A Hofstra
