I wasn’t expecting Mallard-White to go for that high when I filled out the form, tbh.

I would really hope Mallard-White falls to us at 3 but I can settle for Russell. Although if Mallard-White doesn't fall, I wouldn't be opposed to us trading down for someone like Porter or Kirchner. 
Also, Wally Flowers, nice one haha.

Yea the Tigers can only hope, they have been stuck with the 3rd overall pick for the past 4 years. 
And glad you appreciate the name haha.

I think this Draft will be telling for Boston depending on where they go.

I swear it's also rigged against me, I've submitted plenty of prospects into the draft and none of them have been the top pick before xD

I try to spread it around it is surprising based on the volume of players you have submitted, the highest pick I believe was RB Alexei Volkov at 2 (1952) and DL Calias McDonough also at 2 (1955).

*Looks at the past drafts more carefully*...Clearly I don't spread it around enough with Captain Mort taking the first 3 #1 picks, whoops. At least Dan O'Mac's Lyle Painter broke that streak last year.
 

1956 NAAF Draft

1 - Montreal Rouge - RB Scott Mallard-White - Oshawa, ON
It came down to the final minutes on the clock but the Montreal Rouge ultimately went with their future RB Scott Mallard-White. Marchal will still be around, but he will make a great mentor for Mallard-White for his first season or two.  

Ronald Wilke’s Scouting Report - ThisIsFine
Mallard-White is a dedicated player. He always gives it his all, and that enough makes him a top tier prospect, but on top of that, he has great speed and elusiveness that makes him into a premier running back. There will be a lot of comparisons to Élisée Marchal, and rightfully so, with his ability to take over a game. The one concern might be about his overall strength, but when he can outrun you, it may not matter.  

2 - Boston Independents - LB Konrad Aust - Staten Island, NY
Boston might have had the easier choice when compared to Montreal as they would likely pick the other of the top two picks between Mallard-White and Aust. They would take Aust which would mark their 3rd straight first-round Linebacker, which causes some concern, but Aust is hard to pass up on especially with expansion teams coming next season.  

Barry Williams’ Scouting Report - ZO82
Aust is a top tier run stopper. He has great athletic abilities that help him keep up with some of the fastest backs he has gone up against. He has some issues with shedding blocks as he usually gets to the players with his speed rather than strength. Should still be a strong LB next to Brent Harper and the other youngsters in the LB core.  

3 - Ontario Tigers - RB Clifford Russell - Manhattan, NY
The Tigers picked up a possible Laurent Brazeau replacement with Russell at #3. The Tigers are hoping that Russell can make an immediate jump up behind Brazeau and can be a part of the future of the team. 

Jack Barkley’s Scouting Report - GoRedSox96
Russell has blazing speed. If he gets into open space, he is most likely going to take the ball to the house. Drawing many comparisons to Alexei Volkov who has that same big-play ability. Russell also makes for a great leader and team player being heavily involved in his community. He has also been very vocal and active in the fight for civil rights and against racism.  

4 - Providence Gold Stars - WR Sammy Moss - Cortland, NY
The Gold Stars were very happy to add a young WR to help out WR Peter Brooks and possibly take his place in the future. Providence desperately needed to add in the position which includes 3, 31-year-old players. Moss will also be great for the young QB Connor O’Rourke to have an extra weapon on offense.  

Johnny Singleton’s Scouting Report - Captain Mort 3D
Moss is a big and tall receiver that takes up a lot of space. While he doesn’t have great speed, he has a quick first step and can catch DB’s off guard. Of course, his size is his biggest asset being able to beat out defenders to the ball using his height and strength. His hands are pretty average and won’t be making any amazing one-handed catches, but they are good enough to trust in key moments.  

TRADE ALERT
Following Boston’s pick of Konrad Aust, the Independents were left with 3 1st round Linebackers. The extra Linebackers would attract several teams looking to make an upgrade on their defense. At the end of the day, the Worcester Athletics would be the first to take from Boston by acquiring, 1954 5th overall pick, LB Silas O’Brien. O’Brien would be paired up with veteran WR Ethan Walters in order for Boston to grab the 5th overall pick from Worcester. The Athletics will still have to sign Walters, but he could be a big addition, but Silas O’Brien will be a great 3rd LB next to Harrison Bennett and, of course, Scotty Williams. 

5 - Boston Independents (via Worcester) - DL Robin Hill - Burlington, VT
Boston would go with the player that a few had thought they might reach for at #2. Hill will be a big addition to the D-line that desperately needs an injection of youth in Boston.  

Roger Roy’s Scouting Report - Thehealthiestscratch
Hill is an explosive lineman, very quick to react on plays. Throughout much of college, Hill would find himself hitting the quarterback before he finished his 3-step-drop or the running back before he got the ball. Hill is good against both the pass and run in that respect, but his quick reactions and commitment can lead him into being way out of position or running into penalty trouble. 

6 - Buffalo Blue Wings - OL Georgio Stephan - Fall River, MA
Buffalo adds to their already strong OL with another good OL prospect. With the ageing depth on the line, Buffalo was expected to take a small hit on the line, but with Stephan, they may be able to avoid any decline. 

The Gains Report - Darknes
The son of a marine, Stephan is a strong and passionate leader on the football field. Stephan will make a great piece on the line with a great mix of strength and technique in his blocking ability. He’s got a big wingspan which makes him just a bit bigger on the line. He hasn't got great footwork but will still make a great man on the line. 

7 - Long Island Raiders - OL Elliot Winterbottom - Utica, NY
The Raiders don’t take the #1 pick for the first time since 1952, and with their first selection, they look to add protection for their young QB Lyle Painter.  

Brad Cumberland’s Scouting Report - DireBear
Winterbottom is a strong O-lineman, great at being able to block and create holes for the Running back. He has a great release being able to knock defenders off balance, but he struggles with holding blocks for pass coverage for too long. 

8 - Ottawa Royals - DL Troy Hunt - Williamsport, PA
The Royals become the first team to reach as they go for Hunt. It was expected that either Ottawa would look to move the pick or reach for a player they wanted and they felt it fit to just go for the guy they liked in Hunt. 

Johnny Singleton’s Scouting Report - Captain Mort 3D
Troy Hunt was projected to be a superstar out of high school, but his years and injuries through college had brought him down a bit. Despite that, he was still a super consistent player fundamentally. He also has great speed off the edge and can cause some issues in the backfield. Being solid throughout his college career, but it might be the high expectations that dropped his capital down so far and might be a steal for the Royals at the end of the day.

That concludes the opening round of the NAAF draft, any thoughts on the opening round? 

Good to see Boston FINALLY get aggressive about a potential rebuild.
