STEALS OF THE 2013 SFL DRAFT ROUND 2-4
I understand I will miss some players, it's just going to happen, some teams just never put the skews on the discord channel and some I probably just missed. This was 1 of the best drafts where people really seem to know their shit and kudos to the new GM's, you guys are active, having fun and that's what the league is all about. If you found some that I missed feel free to let me know!!!

- 2.1 DE Bjoern Werner- GM Daren Roberts
It didn't take long to find a draft day steal , I thought Werner was a day 1 prospect no doubt in my mind but sometimes guys fall for no reason like Werner. His skew was 82 OVR 82 SPD 73 STR 52 AWR 83 AGI 85 ACC 70 TAK. I love the value and the AFC has got to game plan for this dude now, should be fun to watch!


- 2.5 FS Duron Harmon- GM Bryan Mellon
This was an excellent pick here, I wasn't a fan of Hamon's age at 24 but according to Bryan (I think I'm reading this right, correct me if I'm wrong) Harmon is 91 SPD 91 AGI 91 ACC 90 JMP 68 TAK. If true that is an elite safety right out of the gate, not sure why GM Bryan Mellon said he was upset with that, can top out as 1 of the best S in the league.


- 2.8 OLB Jelani Jenkins- GM Anthony Cepparulo
Jenkins turned out to be a stud, once his AWR and TAK go up this man is going to be even more dangerous. 84 SPD 87 STR 53 AWR 87 AGI 84 ACC 56 CTH 80 TAK. I think you would be happy with this type of player in round 1, I can imagine the excitement getting him in round 2.


- 2.13 OT Terron Armstead- GM Tom Collins
At first glance this looked like a weak draft class for OL but there were some gems out there for sure, Armstead looks really good with 62 SPD 99 STR 60 AWR 70 AGI 72 ACC 87 PBK 86 RBK. He's already almost an elite blocker in both the run and pass and is very athletic, the only knock I have on him is that he's only 6'5" 306 lbs, that is more of a G size but his 99 STR should make up for that and then some.


- 2.16 SS Matt Elam- GM Anthony Fernandez
Put him with the long list of safeties in this class that looks great, I feel Elam can join the elite class with some work with activity points etc., he skewed to 90 SPD 64 STR 59 AWR 88 AGI 92 ACC 67 CTH 65 JMP 83 TAK, the knocks on him will be his size at 5'11" and his JMP 65 , which some GM's will tell you it's crucial and others will tell you they wouldn't even draft him. I'm torn with JMP for a S, I've had 90+ JMP safeties just let the ball float over there heads and 70+ JMP players fly high into the sky to pick them off but I think Elam will be elite, Anthony seems like he knows exactly what he's doing which doesn't bode well for the rest of the NFC East.


- 3.6 OLB Sam Barrington- GM Apolo Shapiro
A solid pickup here for Tyler.... 83 SPD 82 STR 57 AWR 80 AGI 84 ACC 76 TAK. An athletic freak of nature for sure and can go up with activity points. Love LB's with 80 + STR but are rare to find with SPD, he's also good size at 6'1" 246 lbs but a few knocks are that CTH at 26, do not ask this guy to cover anyone, not a FB, TE, nobody, just rush the passer young man!


- 3.10 CB A.J. Bouye- GM Felipe Santos
What an absolute steal for Felipe here, they get a starting CB probably for the remainder of his career if they want. I would say put some work into this guy as he skewed out to 93 SPD 54 AWR 91 AGI 96 ACC 85 JMP 65 TAK 88 KR. Like every rookie Felipe will need to get that AWR up or he'll drive you nuts but there is no denying that the new GM just landed a franchise CB in round 3, anytime that happens it's going to land on the steals of the draft article.


- TE Jack Doyle- GM Brady Tinnin
Fun fact: I did a PW on all the big named TEs accept Eifert (He was drafted before my pick) and you guessed it Jack Doyle and it's pretty incredible that you get a similar but a little less version as Tyler Eifert and some tool who took a converted FB/TE in Bohanon but you got your TE in round 3 with 84 SPD 83 AGI 87 ACC 79 CTH, oh and he's 6'6" 260+ lbs. Brady has a hell of an eye for talent on draft day and this 1 was no different.


- 3.31 FS Kenny Vaccaro- GM Briston Redford
1 of my favorite players in this draft class, he's not going to wow you with blazing SPD but he's definitely the full package... SPD 85 STR 67 AWR 63 AGI 91 ACC 92 CTH 69 JMP 88 TAK 85. His SPD can be boosted to 88 if they desire, already has almost elite hands, his JMP is almost elite and his TAK is off the charts, this dude is the real deal!


- 4.8 ILB Jamie Collins- GM Scott Gardiner
Man this was an awesome pickup here in the 4th, there were so many good ILB I could have probably named all of the top guys but I feel like Scott in the same ball park as those other elite ILB but 2 or 3 rounds later which makes it a steal imo, he has 84 SPD 81 STR 55 AWR 81 AGI 85 ACC 66 CTH 79 TAK, how can you hate this selection at all unless your a rival NFC West team that is.


- 4.11 DE Kapron Lewis-Moore- GM Bill Ryan
An impressive draft by Bill Ryan no doubt, he has really changed his ways this draft and it's paid off, I now have to add Lewis-Moore since he won Draft Gem which has him skewing up to freaking Dion Jordan, talk about a lucky son of a beotch, he goes up 1 billion AWR and I'm not certain exactly but I know he's going to be awesome, poor NFC East, I think I dodged a bullet there!
