It has arrived: The 2023 Noles247 Draft. Florida State’s roster, split among two of the most prestigious franchises in the history of sports and selected by two of the most cunning football minds humanity has ever known.

Team Box Checkers vs. Team Landing Stickers.

Chris Nee leads the Box Checkers for a fourth year. A crafty veteran, Nee is meticulous and unflinching in his strategic approach to not caring about what sort of squad he actually fields as long as he finds value with each selection. His ability to turn tackles into guards and corners into safeties is the stuff of legends. 

Brendan Sonnone guides the Landing Stickers. This wanna-be GM has won many an award in offseason simulation leagues, but beating Nee has proven to be an elusive endeavor. Nerves often get to Sonnone, creating panicky picks that deplete his roster before it’s even built.

Trey Rowland hosts the battle among these two titans. Kevin Little and Coach AB will provide commentary while commissioning to make sure rules are abided by and the picks run on time. 

Oh, and AB and Kev will be throwing some curveballs at the two GMs throughout the draft to spice things up.

Who will field the most complete team? Will Sonnone be sober enough to get his picks in on time? Is Kev’s cat really a dog? Will Nee care to actually make his pick? Is snapping important to anyone?
