Hello and Welcome to the Season 70 Draft Experience brought to you in part by- DR Pepper, Frito-Lay, and the OMFL

 

We had a very intriguing draft night, and we had some great picks come off the board, and right onto teams starting lineups. We wanted to give a complete draft experience from owner to players, and see just what caught the eyes of the guys making the picks. We had 12 guys participate in the draft experience, and will be releasing 1-12 separately over the next few days. Let’s get right to the first look at these top draft choices from the OMFL Season 70 Draft.

He should fit very well. 3-4 Versatile was exactly what I was looking for in a D-Linemen.

He will be competing for a starting job this season

If he can improve his strength over time I believe he can impact the line of scrimmage for years to come.

Do you believe this guy will be someone to build the franchise around?
He won't be 'the guy' on the team but definitely a solid piece on a playoff team

Next we have the Brown’s Coach Brooks, Brooks “aka” Outlaw had one of the better drafts in the league, and it's showing with him atop the AFC North division. Here’s his interview...
 

What Team Do You Coach? Cleveland Browns

What's the players name you drafted and what position?
Free safety, Jamarious Hobson, Oklahoma-Lolb C Cochran, Rg D Pritchard all second round picks

Actual in Game Photo from a Browns game last year. Smallest known player ever to play the game also died that day. No one knows what really happened that day. Thank God it’s just a game!

What intrigued you the most about your 1st round pick?
I only had the 2nd round picks, but all had good or decent grades with a decent combine. I drafted my first one because he was highest on my board and needed that position after that I went best available in the draft.

Was this player drafted for need, or did the organization draft the best available player on your board? Best of the Board really

How do you think he fits your scheme?
Think all three of these guys are day 1 starters though I have veterans who could play in front while I develop these guys. Getting 3 starters in the place I did I'm very pleased. They are going to have shoe they can play on the field

Will this player compete for a starting job this season, or are you looking to develop him for the future?
I'm really not sure possibly the free safety could but he's going have to prove himself. The linebacker I think will start and my lineman I really like but has a veteran in front of him. Depends how the first games decide really win lose we start losing during our season the rookies will play. I know the veterans already

Do you view these as a impact players? YES!

Do you believe this guy will be someone to build the franchise around? Possibly my linebacker

OK, well hope you enjoy the read, and the humor from the post I’l get the next two interview post out this week!
