Lots of 2038 and 1995 draft guys here. Also, surprisingly to me (at least a little), a lot of #1 overall guys.

Looks like I should have had a storyline about Alexander Swanson’s grandpa if had known Mike Swanson existed.

10 seasons ago I'd have bet Sparks or Thompson would have been Portland's top pick. Upsetting how fast both just dropped off. Warren, the guy that I sent off first, has sustained a solid career all the way through.

And of course Portland bringing up the rear on this chart. Need Warren to close his career stronger and pass up Dave Lee.

Search him in the forums. There's a lot of stories about Mike Swanson.

This also got me thinking about what my PERSONAL best draft pick has been. I didn't draft Puckett in Madison, I inherited him already. I think my best draft pick to date is Manobu Shimizu.

Probably more interesting to know your best non-2038 draft pick.

Appears its Mons Raider in that case. He posted a 53.1 WAR My #2 based on WAR is actually Allende, but he was also in the 2038 draft. I had a few 40s and 30s WAR guys over my time. Doesn't appear I've been too fortunate in drafting the stud WAR guys.

A few non first rounders on the list. Not totally suprised by Puckett. HAW was surprising to me.

He’s gonna retire a Wolve as long as I’m GM.

I had the thought, mid-season, of inquiring about a trade for Shimizu. But figured this was your mindset and just let it rest. Haha

[CTBrewCrew]

lol. The townsfolk would riot and burn down Madison if I traded him

[lordtoffee]

Really interesting feature Matt. Maybe a look back at the 2038 draft could be in order.

[Rubaboo]

More reassurance that I nailed my only career 1/1 pick. I'll take it.
