The season 38 draft class might best be described as the Buffalo class, in retrospect. Three of the top six, and five of the top twenty players by TPE at this point were drafted by the Stampede, with their three first round picks and two seconds. The arrival of new users to the league meant there were perhaps more draft steals than usual, with Kevin Hamilton and Dermot Lavelle being selected late in the first round but both hitting over 1000 TPE now; and to a lesser extent, Maurice Picard's selection at twenty five overall, though he now ranks in the top fifteen of that draft class by TPE.

The following season would have more of an impact overall, perhaps, being a reddit draft, but there is still a lot of quality here, with eleven players over 1000 TPE or close to breaking that threshold. There is a significant drop-off from there on, however.
