Tennessee Draft

[Riverhawks]

The Riverhawks had a thin draft, having traded their 1st and 4th round picks to Ft. Wayne for rookie LB Lawrence Flugence. That combined with a very low position in the order indicated an underwhelming draft. However, they did pick up three promising players in the 2nd, 3rd and 6th rounds.

Maybe it wasn't the most exciting draft ever, but if I had not traded my 1st and 4th round picks, I never would have got a LB like this guy with the 16th pick in the 1st round.
