Exactly why I’m scouting him, such versatility allows him to be scouted for multiple positions. Captivating QB play is also very important, which is why I was thinking about Peach for that spot. Not the strongest arm, but great accuracy and vision. Problem is she’s strictly a pocket QB, can’t really scramble.Would Diddy Kong be able to use his jetpack? Because if he is, there's no way he doesn't go #1
Even if he doesn’t, he still could go #1, you can’t teach athleticism like that.

He's got the athleticism for sure, but I'm worried about his football IQ. Will he be able to run routes like a top-tier WR? I see Diddy as a high-risk, high-reward pick, but I'd rather have the safer option in Mario, his jump is unparalleled and his hands are large enough to catch and ball thrown his way, making him an excellent safety valve as well as deep threat.

Re: AltFL - Design Thread
I've got my eye on Wario. That forward boost move he had in Wario Land on the Gameboy is exactly what I want to get those tough yards, grind the clock, and keep my defense fresh for when I need them

I agree. What really elevates Wario is his blocking ability, in my opinion. He's the very definition of "immovable object" and I challenge any defense worth their salt to try and get past him when he's protecting the QB. The only problem is he wants to get paid, making any GM's decision tough due to his talent.

Re: AltFL - Design Thread
I love Nintendo, but I am not an owner, so this doesn't interest me for now.
It's all clearly a joke, no one's actually going to draft Mario characters because we think they have football potential. And I don't want to rain on your parade or anything, but you don't get to decide the course of this thread. Just because you personally don't have an interest in the discussion doesn't mean you can simply say "This doesn't interest me, end of topic." The only people can decide where to place those boundaries are mods/admins (Balu the Bare, Steelman, MyTeamIsDr.Pepper, NoE38, and Section30) and Gritty, the thread starter. It's awesome to see someone be very active and participating, but you need to remember that you don't control what course the thread takes.

Re: AltFL - Design Thread
I gotta say, how has no one mention the ball hawk abilities that Yoshi might have? I mean he can grab anything out of the air as a WR or DB. Guess, I'll just take him as a steal.

You say that like there isn't a better option available! Birdo can literally suck balls out of the air, easily the best TE left.

Re: AltFL - Design Thread
Alright everyone. I think it is time to refocus ourselves on the purpose of the thread. While an entertaining concept, we want to avoid these tangents on topics that exist outside the "AltFL Design Process". Thanks.

Watch for Toad and Yoshi as sleepers in the late rounds. Toad can slip through either side if the line to make the play, and Yoshi had amazing reach as a tight end*.
