The Fourth Round of the Draft is completed. Here are the picks -
With the first selection in the Fourth Round of the 2023 ACWGC Fantasy Draft, Todd Hively selects - John Buford out of Kentucky. Analysis - Todd has added another excellent BG to go along with Gordon and Bowen. Quite a front line going.
With the second selection in the Fourth Round of the 2023 ACWGC Fantasy Draft, Mike Barycki selects - Cadmus Wilcox out of North Carolina. Analysis - With an AC, CC, and DC already selected, Mike went with a BC this round. Wilcox was the last elite BC on the board.
With the third selection in the Fourth Round of the 2023 ACWGC Fantasy Draft, Nick Kunz selects - James McPherson out of Ohio. Analysis - Nick becomes the first team captain to draft a general for all four command spots (AC, CC, 2 DC's). McPherson joins Johnston, Hood, and Sheridan on Nick's team.
With the fourth selection in the Fourth Round of the 2023 ACWGC Fantasy Draft, Tom Marshall selects - Joe Hooker out of Massachusetts. Analysis - Tom grabs a second DC to go along with Steele in this round. Tom has a complete high command team now of Sherman, Reynolds, Steele and Hooker.
With the fifth selection in the Fourth Round of the 2023 ACWGC Fantasy Draft, Kyle FitzMaurice selects - Evander Law out of South Carolina. Analysis - Passing on Richard Ewell as a DC, Kyle opts to draft a third BC with Law. The above average Law joins Ramseur and Gibbon on the front line.
With the sixth selection in the Fourth Round of the 2023 ACWGC Fantasy Draft, Blake Strickler selects - Richard Ewell out of Virginia. Analysis - There are still some good BCs left to draft in the next round and beyond. Therefore, I am taking Ewell as he is the best DC still on the board. Pairing him up with Jackson, Stuart, and Beauregard give me quite a foursome in my high command.
With the seventh selection in the Fourth Round of the 2023 ACWGC Fantasy Draft, Mitch Johnson selects - Francis Barlow out of New York. Analysis - With DC's coming off the board quickly, Mitch probably felt he had to make a move now to avoid getting a bottom tier DC in a later round.
With the eighth and final selection in the Fourth Round of the 2023 ACWGC Fantasy Draft, David Peek selects - William B. Hazen out of Vermont. Analysis - David chooses to ignore his needs on the DC level and draft another BC with Hazen. But Hazen is a good BC who will join Forrest in the front lines.
