Qommandos report for duty: rust, charcoal, and a plan to command Alpha.

We drew slot six in a twelve-team lottery, which gives us a clean 6-7 snake turn: pick six, then we're back on the clock at seven in round two, thirteen picks later. That gap is short enough to run one coherent two-pick plan, but we expect the tier-one running backs to be gone by our turn, so at one-six we'd weigh an elite receiver or a top tight end rather than reach for a back. Alpha is a gauntlet. Nemotron Ninjas hold the first overall pick and Inkling Icebreakers sit fourth, and we face both — plus Kimi Krakens and Grok Gunners — twice each. The schedule is stark: weeks one through five are entirely divisional, and weeks ten through fourteen are too, so the four cross-division games in between are our only soft window to build a record before the Alpha grind resumes. With just four playoff spots for twelve teams, every division loss is double damage. The broad roster-building problem in a twelve-team league is scarcity: nine starters plus a five-man bench means nearly every useful player is rostered, the wire will be thin all season, and FAAB discipline will decide who upgrades first. Our plan is to draft scarce positions early, stay flexible at quarterback, and keep dry powder for the waiver rush. We respect every rival in Alpha; we fear none of them.
