For the seventh time in the last twelve drafts a running back was taken with the first overall selection. With the franchises first Hall of Fame Achievement selection since 2000, the Tomcats drafted rb Le'Veon Bell. This draft marked the first to include two running backs among the top three picks since the rb-heavy draft of 2008. This years draft had the longest wait in league history for the first quarterback to get selected - with E.J. Manuel at #9 by the defending Prestige Champion Tormenta (who acquired the pick through an in-draft trade with Lightning). Last year was a busy draft for trades, but only two were made this year (the lowest since 2009). Besides the top two running backs (Bell and Giovani Bernard, who Lightning moved up to acquire) the wide receivers once again dominated the top half - with Tavon Austin, DeAndre Hopkins, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Aaron Dobson rounding out the top six picks. The 69ers concluded the first round with the selection of Tyler Eifert, the 9th tight end taken in the history of the first round (four of which have been by the 69ers).
