*S24 DSFL Complete Mock Draft - katarn22 - 08-03-2020

**This is my first piece of media as a rookie and thus eligible for the x2 payout bonus**
 
Introduction
 
Hello everyone and welcome to my complete, 18+ round mock draft. I have not seen anybody do this yet, and since everyone who created a player will have them taken in the DSFL draft, I figured “why not?”. You obviously don’t want anyone feeling left out after all! I used a variety of resources including the TPE Tracker, the forums, player Wiki pages, and Discord activity to compile this draft. I will try to give commentary for every player, at least until we get into the lower TPE players or inactives.
 
**An absolutely HUGE shoutout to @Arkz as his “The Only S25 Scouting Report You Actually Need, ⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆ Ratings for every S25 Prospect” post saved me a great deal of time having to manually find players’ update pages.**
 
DISCLAIMER: This draft is my own personal opinion and should not be taken too seriously. This mock draft will (hopefully) have no effect on your actual draft position. If you are not on this draft board, it is because you either created after the time of writing, or you are not listed on the TPE tracker. I apologize if I missed you.
 
Without further ado, let us begin!

Round 1
 
1. Portland Pythons – Goat Tank, Defensive Tackle
 
Archetype: Interior Rusher
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 310 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (70), Speed (70), Endurance (70)
 
What can I say here, it’s GOAT TANK! Goat tank got a jump start on this season, appearing in games for the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers and accumulating 134 TPE already. The three most important attributes for almost any player are all tied for highest, and this should help Goat Tank be a well-balanced player on the field. Hands down the best DT in the class and arguably the top prospect overall when you factor in his forum and locker room activity, I imagine there will not be much opposition to mocking him first overall. Mr. Tank also gets bonus points for having one of the most entertaining Twitter accounts.
 
2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – Alex Reed, Wide Receiver
 
Archetype: Speed Receiver
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 185 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (85), Hands (71), Agility (65)
 
Alex Reed has a few advantages working for him here. First is that, like Goat Tank, he is an early create and was able to get a head start on earning TPE compared to the rest of the class. As a result, Reed has piled up 141 TPE making him the first in TPE at the wide receiver position and the second highest in the entire S25 class. Additionally, like Goat Tank, he is a recreate. Throughout this mock draft, I will be subscribing to the idea that GM’s value recreates over newer players. The logic behind this is that if these users are already on their second player (at least), then there should be no questions as to how active they will be, unlike a new player whose activity levels will be seen throughout the season. Finally, the Minnesota Grey Ducks currently have no wide receivers on their roster, at least according to the TPE tracker. They obviously will need multiple players at the position, so why not start off by taking the best one in the class? One final note, his attributes are very impressive, especially for the DSFL level. 85 speed combined with 71 hands makes him a very real threat to take it the distance every play.
 
3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – Medicinal Toblerone, Offensive Lineman
 
Archetype: Athletic Lineman
Height: 6’7”
Weight: 340 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (76), Speed (70), Pass Block (70), Run Block (70)
 
This was a tough one. I was considering putting Dukburg QuakStak here since he is the highest TPE player in the draft. However, the Buccaneers currently have two cornerbacks as well as two safeties on their roster. Though Medicinal Toblerone is certainly not the highest TPE player on the board, he is one of the higher TPE offensive linemen. Additionally, he fills a need for Myrtle Beach Buccaneers as they currently only have one offensive linemen on their roster. Continuing the trend, Toblerone is also a recreate, thus making him even more enticing for the Buccaneers to select. His strength and speed are great for his position, but his blocking stats could use a little boost.
 
4. Tijuana Luchadores – Etrigan T. Slayer, Defensive End
 
Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 285 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (76), Speed (70), Endurance (70)
 
This pick was a bit easier than the last, as Etrigan T. Slayer just makes sense here. 132 TPE (with 52 of it banked) makes him one of the higher TPE members of this class and I believe the highest at his position. More importantly, though, is that despite how well-rounded Tijuana’s roster is, the one position they have zero of is defensive end. Similar to Myrtle Beach, this is a need pick. That does not mean, however, that they are compromising with the quality of player. He was well rounded stats and is focusing on the important ones for his position. I believe Slayer will be a great defensive end for Tijuana this year and in the ISFL in the future.
 
5. London Royals – Dukburg QuakStak, Cornerback
 
Archetype: All-Around
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 210 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (82), Agility (65), Endurance (60)
 
I consider this to be a homerun of a pick for the London Royals. One of, if not, the highest TPE players in this class, Dukburg QuakStak goes to a team that is already pretty deep on defense with at least 1 of every position. However, they only had 2 defensive backs (1 corner, 1 safety) so it makes sense to take another starting corner here. QuakStak is a pure speed guy, which is definitely not a bad thing. You know what they say, “If DB’s could catch, they’d be playing receiver.” Though QuakStak’s hands are only rated at a paltry 50, it should not matter as his blazing 82 speed will allow him to keep up with pretty much any receiver in the DSFL. Again, great pick by the Royals.
 
6. Dallas Birddogs – Albert Ruschmann, Defensive End
 
Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 275 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (70), Speed (70), Endurance (70)
 
What kind of prospect would I be if I did not think that I would be taken in the first round? Taking a look at the Birddogs roster, we can see that they already have two defensive ends. So why take a third? Two words: position swap. Though Ruschmann created as a defensive end, the free position swap rookies get would be utilized here as Ruschmann changes position to defensive tackle, which the Birddogs currently have zero of. The transition from end to tackle should be an easy one as the most important attributes for both positions overlap. In addition to having ideal attributes, Ruschmann has 115 TPE without any equipment purchases, making him one of the top earners in the S25 class. If this trend keeps up throughout next season, the Birddogs will have themselves a solid player who will quickly hit the 250 TPE cap for the DSFL.
 
7. Kansas City Coyotes – Felix Archstone, Offensive Lineman
 
Archetype: Technician
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 340 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (81), Intelligence (70), Pass Blocking (70), Run Blocking (70)
 
Offensive linemen are never sexy picks (though they might be sexy people), but they are necessary ones. The Kansas City Coyotes seem to be multiple players deep at every position EXCEPT for offensive line. Although not a recreate, Felix Archstone’s user GlimsTC has been highly active both on the forums and on Discord, which should assuage any fear the team may have about him eventually going inactive. Archstone is a raw player who has the physical tools to succeed. 81 strength provides him a strong foundation from which he can work on his technical skills such as pass blocking and run blocking. Though his size, specifically his 6’3 height, may force him to the interior of the offensive line, Archstone should prove to be an effective blocker in this league for years to come.
 
8. Norfolk SeaWolves – Davriel Lavigne, Safety
 
Archetype: All-Around
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 215 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (80), Strength (75), Endurance (70)

There is a reason the Norfolk SeaWolves won the Ultimini this season. Well, to be fair I am sure there are multiple reasons, but the one I was thinking of was their roster construction. Take a look at their roster and you can see that they are deep at almost every position, no glaring needs on this team. So how does that affect their draft strategy? Best player available. The rich get richer as the SeaWolves select Davriel Lavigne, a 152 TPE safety from long-time user Raven. Raven has been around and continually active since the middle of May of 2017, so there should be absolutely zero concerns about his dedication to the league. Regarding Lavigne, he is a fast, strong safety that can step in and make a difference in the secondary day 1. 80 speed combined with 75 strength in the DSFL makes this man a freight train who has receivers hearing footsteps before securing the ball. Even in the first round, this is a steal of a pick for the reigning Ultimini champions.
 
Round 2
 
1. Portland Pythons – James Hoffman, Cornerback
 
Archetype: All-Around
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 205 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (80), Endurance (70), Agility (66)
 
The Portland Pythons continue to bolster their defense by adding one of the best cornerbacks in the class. Some may have Hoffman higher than QuakStak, some may have QuakStak higher than Hoffman. Bottom line is their both fantastic players and both speed demons on the field. While QuakStak runs just a bit faster than Hoffman, he lacks the endurance and shiftiness which Hoffman possesses. At 116 TPE total, Hoffman is one of the highest earning “true” rookies (new user, not an early create) and already has T3 equipment with more on the way I am sure. If you are looking at Portland’s roster, you might notice they already have 5 DB’s total. However, only one of them is a corner. Perhaps more important though is the TPE of each secondary member. Hoffman would slot in as the second highest in TPE in that secondary behind well known safety Joel Drake at 289 TPE. Hoffman’s user kingsleigher has been active on the forums, and even more so on both Twitter and Discord. Hoffman should pair nicely with GOAT TANK to generate both pressure and turnovers this season.
 
2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – Dave Batista, Tight End
 
Archetype: Blocking
Height: 6’6”
Weight: 280 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (70), Intelligence (70), Speed (70)
 
The Minnesota Grey Ducks continue to round out their gutted offense with the addition of a much-needed tight end. Dave Batista is head and shoulders above everyone else at the tight end position in this draft. His 141 total TPE, including T6 equipment, gives him significant advantages in his attributes compared to others. His 70 strength and intelligence will serve him well in picking up blockers for his running back or receivers. However, do not discount his 70 speed as well. We could see this offense start to turn to Batista to convert those 3rd and manageables, using his size to his advantage. One final note, Batista is a recreate just like many of the previous picks. GM’s love the security that comes with not having to worry if their newly drafted rookie will just stop showing up one day.
 
3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – Sheed Thebaw, Defensive Tackle
 
Archetype: Interior Rusher
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 300 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (71), Strength (70), Endurance (60)
 
Switching sides of the trenches for the second round, the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers pick up the second-best defensive tackle in the draft. Despite already having two of them on the roster, the Bucs were in need of an active DT as one of theirs is still at 50 TPE and most certainly inactive. Sheed Thebaw, unlike Goat Tank, is not a recreate but has still been earning consistently. His 101 TPE (and more pending) is best among the “true” rookies in this class at his position, and his attributes back it up as well. A nice balance of speed and strength, Sheed should live up to his namesake and shed the ball from the offense multiple times a season. Though not too active in team locker rooms, he is a highly motivated player who makes his presence known both on and off the field (both through the forums and especially his Twitter).
 
4. Tijuana Luchadores – James Gath, Cornerback
 
Archetype: Man to Man
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 198 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (81), Agility (70), Endurance (58)
 
Considering the only cornerback currently on the Luchadores roster has not been seen in over five weeks and is still at 50 TPE, this pick was a no brainer. Gath is right up there with QuakStak and Hoffman in terms of his attributes. Fast corner, this time with more quickness than endurance. James Gath’s user, Beefstu409, is active both on Discord and the forums. He has put out multiple pieces of media including a mock draft engine he created himself. Currently at 99 TPE, Gath certainly has money in the bank from his media pieces to purchase both T6 equipment and continued weekly trainings, so he can only get better from here.
 
5. London Royals – Raylan Crowder, Defensive End
 
Archetype: Power Rusher
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 291 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (80), Strength (72), Tackling (67)

In terms of average roster TPE, the Royals are probably one of the higher averages in the league. Their two lowest TPE players, though, are at the defensive end position. Enter Raylan Crowder. With 129 TPE, this guy’s dedication is clear. On top of already having purchased T6 equipment, he also invited not one, not two, but four (!) new members to the league. Aside from the TPE incentive, it is always great to bring new people in and Crowder has done that fourfold. Do not pay too much attention to the archetype here. Despite being a power rusher, Crowder can use his 80 speed as well as his strength to rush the passer. Crowder and Ruschmann are really the 1A and 1B of the “true” rookies in this class, it just depends what the team is looking for. In London’s case, they could move him inside to DT or keep him outside and let him use that speed. Excellent man, excellent pick.
 
6. Dallas Birddogs – Vance Slattery, Defensive Tackle
 
Archetype: Nose Tackle
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 310 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (75), Speed (62), Endurance (60)
 
The Dallas Dogs double dip on drafting defensive dudes. A true defensive tackle, Vance Slattery should slot right in next to converted defense end Albert Ruschmann on the interior of the d-line. Slattery is actually one of the stronger defensive tackles in this class with 75 strength. I feel his skill set is well suited for his position, as speed is not as big of a concern for DT’s as it is for DE’s. Punter715, Slattery’s user, has been somewhat active in team locker rooms, but more active on the forums especially. Solid player with lots of upside that also fills a need for Dallas, cannot complain about that.
 
7. Kansas City Coyotes – Swantavius Jones, Offensive Lineman
 
Archetype: Pass Blocker
Height: 6’6”
Weight: 340 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (86), Pass Blocking (70), Run Blocking (70)
 
Offensive line, the position so nice, they drafted it twice. With two running backs each over 200, and a 333 TPE quarterback, the Kansas City Coyotes realize the importance of having solid offensive linemen. Solid is one of many adjectives to describe the 6-foot 6, 340-pound Swantavius Jones; see also: large, massive, mountainous. Jones is even stronger than previous draftee Felix Archstone, and with the same pass and run blocking abilities. At 131 TPE, Jones is one of the top earners among offensive linemen in his class. He has put out media and already purchased T6 equipment. Jones, however, is not as well rounded as Archstone. While he may possess the size to play one of the tackle positions, he lacks the speed to with only 50. Regardless, Jones will be a big boost to the currently bare Coyotes offensive line. 
 
8. Norfolk SeaWolves – Harley Fank, Wide Receiver
 
Archetype: Speed Receiver
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 222 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (80), Endurance (75), Hands (70)
 
The champs do it again. While receiver is not the biggest hole on the SeaWolves roster (see defensive end), the value here at the end of the second round is just too good to pass up. Harley Fank is an early create receiver who actually played a handful of games for Norfolk last season, so the connection is there. With 134 TPE, he has great attributes as well. 80 speed ranks Fank among some of the faster receivers in his class, and the 75 endurance and 70 hands certainly do not hurt either. Fank will most likely slot in next to 369 TPE receiver Dre Matthews and supplant 69 TPE, inactive receiver Logan Hex. Best player available works again.
 
Round 3

1. Portland Pythons – Jameson Vermillion, Running Back
 
Archetype: Speed Back
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 215 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (82), Endurance (70), Agility (55)
 
First pick of the third round, first running back off the board. Portland plays it smart with this pick. While up until this point they had no running back on their roster, no other team had a strong need for one either. Thus, they were able to capitalize on talent in the earlier rounds while still grabbing the best running back in the class later. With 99 total TPE, Jameson Vermillion is pure speed. With 82 in the skill, he ranks up there in the league with some of the fastest corners and receivers. While he probably will not make too many people miss, and he might not catch a ton of balls out of the backfield, it does not matter. This job is his.
 
2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – Mike Rotchburns
 
Archetype: Power Back
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 245 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (79), Strength (74), Endurance (70)
 
After not having any running backs taken in the first two rounds, we have two back to back. If you look up the definition of man in the dictionary, you very well may find a picture of Mr. Rotchburns. To his high school coach who saw this physical freak and decided to play him at running back, I tip my hat to you. As an early create, Rotchburns has 113 TPE total which is just 14 more than Vermillion who was picked before him. The two, however, are quite different. While Portland clearly desired speed, Minnesota opted for Rotchburn’s raw size and power. With 79 speed and 74 strength, Rotchburn makes an ideal bruiser of a back that can wear opposing defenses down late into games.
 
3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – Rich Triplet, Cornerback
 
Archetype: Zone
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 195 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (80), Agility (65), Intelligence (60), Endurance (60)
 
The Myrtle Beach Buccaneers continue to patch the holes on their defense. While the Bucs have two cornerbacks rostered already, one is most definitely inactive with only 50 TPE. Triplet will slide in nicely to the number two corner spot with his 99 TPE overall. Similar to other corners in the draft, he has top line speed to keep up with receivers who enter his zone. Kotasa, Triplet’s user, has been active posting media in the forums and making appearances in various teams’ locker rooms. Despite being a Minneapolis native, he will be making his home in Myrtle Beach for at least a season. I am sure he will be glad to get away from the snow.
 
4. Tijuana Luchadores – Darren Pama, Tight End
 
Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 245 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (77), Hands (65), Endurance (65)
 
The Tijuana Luchadores, employing a similar strategy to the Portland Pythons, snag one of the best tight ends in the draft halfway through the third. Another position that is not in high demand, the Luchadores waited patiently to grab their now only tight end on their roster. This is truly a steal as Pama has a massive 129 TPE overall despite not being an early create. Part of this is due to his purchase of T6 equipment, with the money provided by his user’s (ztarwarz) dedication to the creation of media. Seriously, if you have not seen some of his stuff, check it out. Getting back to Pama, though, his 77 speed puts him in line with some receivers in the league. If he can shore up his hands, he will be a real downfield threat. Absolute steal at this spot for the Luchadores.
 
5. London Royals – Hank Winchester, Linebacker
 
Archetype: Speed Rusher
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 255 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (87), Agility (60), Tackling (60), Endurance (60)
 
Just as the beginning of this round featured the first two running backs taken off the board, the middle of it has the first linebacker taken. While the London Royals already have 3 linebackers on their roster, one of them is first overall pick in the ISFL draft Juan Domine who likely will be called up to the DSFL. That leaves one open linebacker spot for the Royals, and Winchester is the best on the board. With 142 total TPE and a blazing 87 speed, he certainly fits the speed rusher role. I believe 87 speed is faster than player who has been already drafted. While his tackling could use improvement, maybe the Royals intend to use him in Tampa 2 style defense as a hybrid linebacker/safety. Regardless they snag one of the top linebackers on the board.
 
6. Dallas Birddogs – Ananda Adyan, Offensive Lineman
 
Archetype: Pass Blocker
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 340 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (80), Pass Blocking (75), Run Blocking (70)
 
The Dallas Birddogs decide to switch sides of the line with their third-round pick and select one of the best remaining offensive linemen in Ananda Adyan. While the Birddogs already have two offensive linemen rostered, both are at 50 TPE (one of whom is a bot, while the other has not been seen in over seven weeks). Ananda comes in with 102 total TPE, and some well-rounded attributes on top. Arguably his top 3 skills are the most important for offensive linemen, so it is encouraging to see user TMosura building his player that way. TMosura is also known for his graphical work he does on the forums – if you need a signature for your player, he is your guy.
 
7. Kansas City Coyotes – Tex Wrecks, Defensive End
 
Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 279 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (70), Speed (70), Endurance (65)
 
Linemen, both offensive and defensive, continue to be a hot commodity as another comes off the board. Do no let the attribute scores fool you. Tex Wrecks is a 112 total TPE defensive end who is keeping 62 of that banked, similar to Albert Ruschmann. This will allow the Coyotes to utilize his skillset however they see fit. Defensive line was one of the bigger areas of need for Kansas City after o-line as they only have 1 defensive end and 1 defensive tackle rostered. An earlier create than most, user 209tacos has been active in both locker rooms and forums and should continue to be active throughout the season.
 
8. Norfolk SeaWolves – Peter Patterson, Cornerback
 
Archetype: Zone
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 188 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (78), Agility (70), Intelligence (62)
 
After two rounds of taking the best talent left on the board, the SeaWolves finally decide to address a team need instead. After drafting rookie talent Davriel Lavigne in the first round, this pick brings the total number of defensive backs on the roster to three. Patterson is a solid corner. His 78 speed is a hair slower than some of the corners who went before him, but given his zone archetype, this should not hurt him too much. With 99 TPE total and more on the way, user slate continues to be an active participant on the forums and in team locker rooms. Another solid pick for the SeaWolves.
 
Round 4
 
1. Portland Pythons – Bobby Hoffman, Defensive End
 
Archetype: Power Rusher
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 300 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (73), Speed (73), Endurance (70)
 
Portland starts the process of shoring up their defensive line. Taking a look at the roster, the Pythons simply need bodies at a handful of positions, defensive end being one of them. Portland selects Bobby Hoffman here, one the best remaining defensive ends on the board. Realistically, Hoffman is not too far behind other defensive linemen drafted ahead of him, despite being taken several rounds later. At 92 TPE total, user mpressive23 has been earning almost as consistently as other DE’s in his class. Still similar to other defensive ends are his attributes; well rounded and allow for future development.
 
2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – Lionel Rumper, Safety
 
Archetype: Run Support
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 226 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (79), Tackling (65), Endurance (65)
 
In the words of the man himself “You gotta hump with ya rump to bring that thump.”, and bring the thump is exactly what the Minnesota Grey Ducks did with this pick. After picking offensive players in three consecutive rounds, the Ducks switch it up and take one of the best safeties in the draft. Much like Portland, they just need bodies on the roster and at a multitude of positions. Rumper can immediately fill the role of second safety on the team. With 107 TPE, Mr. Rumper is one of the higher earning players in this class. His 79 speed is more than enough to cover most of the field quickly. He should see great success this season with Minnesota.
 
3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – Noah Akerele, Wide Receiver
 
Archetype: Speed Receiver
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 201 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (80), Agility (70), Endurance (70)
 
After their first three selections, the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers roster is looking pretty solid, no glaring deficits at any position. What they are lacking, however, is a second wide receiver. Thus, the selection of Noah Akerele makes perfect sense here. Just the third wide receiver off the board in the fourth round, Akerele is a great player. Sitting at 108 TPE, he has been earning consistently this offseason. With 80 speed, and 70 agility and endurance, Akerele has a solid foundation to build upon. Additionally, Noah is a recreate player from incitehysteria so the Buccaneers know what they are getting an active user here.
 
4. Tijuana Luchadores – Angelo Cerilli, Defensive Tackle
 
Archetype: Interior Rusher
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 310 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (60), Endurance (60), 5 tied at 50
 
We all know the saying “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover”. That is this pick in a nutshell. Angelo Cerilli’s attributes at face value are not good. Having 60 as your highest score may make people question if you are active. However, Cerilli is regularly active, coming in at 99 TPE overall. Similar to other defensive line prospects in this class, he has chosen to bank all of his earned TPE in order to build himself how his new team desires. While not necessarily a sexy pick for Tijuana, it is a necessary one.
 
5. London Royals – Tayshawn Crunk, Safety
 
Archetype: Center Fielder
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 195 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (84), Endurance (70), Agility (70)
 
The Royals’ roster is already fairly solid, but it becomes even better with the addition of safety Tayshawn Crunk. Crunk is a player who makes his presence known, both on and certainly off the field. Crunk has one of the most active Twitter accounts for a prospect, and his self-confidence can seemingly never be shaken. Moving on to his measureables, Crunk is up there with the rest. 84 speed makes him one of the fastest players in this class. When you combine that with his 70 agility, if he gets his hands on the ball, you might as well wave him goodbye. Great addition to the Royals secondary. 
 
6. Dallas Birddogs – Mark Callous, Wide Receiver
 
Archetype: Possession Receiver
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 210 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (78), Endurance (70), Hands (70), Agility (70)
 
While the Birddogs could use a little more help on defense still, they take this opportunity to select an offensive weapon. Just the fourth receiver off the board, Mark Callous is a solid one all around. While 78 speed is certainly not the fastest at his position, his other attributes more than make up for it. Having 70 in endurance, hands, and agility makes him a very dependable receiver for picking up yards in chunks. Callous’ user McCransky has also been one of the more active new users, most noticeably in the London Royals locker room. Great user, solid player, the Birddogs walk away satisfied.
 
7. Kansas City Coyotes – Rusty Rucker, Linebacker
 
Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 235 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (80), Tackling (70), Endurance (65), Agility (65)
 
One of the best linebackers in the drafts slides to the Coyotes in the late 4th. While the Coyotes already have 4 linebackers on their roster, one is at 50 TPE while the other has been inactive for over 3 weeks. Rucker’s top two abilities are arguably the most important for a linebacker. He is able to chase down and bring down targets anywhere on the field. His user, LancedJack, has been regularly active on the site since joining and is equally as active on Discord. Kansas City should feel great about this pick.
 
8. Norfolk SeaWolves – Donald McBobby, Linebacker
 
Archetype: Power Rusher
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 255 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (76), Speed (76), Tackling (65)
 
Back to back linebackers to cap off the 4th round. If you are familiar with the SeaWolves’ roster, then this pick might have you scratching your head. They already have three linebackers, all with 171 TPE or more, so why draft a fourth? Similar to Albert Ruschmann in the first round, this will be a position change to defensive end. Currently the SeaWolves only have one on the roster, and they have been inactive for close to two months now. Donald McBobby is the perfect candidate for a position change as well. He has perfect height as well as ideal attributes for defensive end. Really the only thing he would need to focus on is bulking up another 20-30 pounds. Donald McBobby was an early create and thus has had time to accumulate 111 TPE total. If you compare this to the TPE totals of the remaining defensive ends, he really is a diamond in the rough. The SeaWolves happily scoop him up here.
 
Round 5
 
1. Portland Pythons – Guy Fields, Linebacker
 
Archetype: Coverage
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 223 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (75), Endurance (70), Agility (68)
 
The run on linebackers continues as Guy Fields comes off the board. Portland currently only has two linebackers rostered, so this pick will round out the group nicely. The fourth defensive player taken with Portland’s five picks so far, Fields is a solid linebacker. 75 speed paired with 70 endurance should allow him to keep up with tight ends and receivers across the middle of the field. With 99 TPE total, he has been participating actively in both the forums and Discord and shows no signs of stopping. Fields joins 3 rookies so far on the revamped Pythons defense.
 
2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – Corran West, Cornerback
 
Archetype: Man to Man
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 185 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (80), Agility (70), Endurance (65)
 
Corran West becomes the sixth cornerback off the board but the first one selected for the Minnesota Grey Ducks. After just adding a second safety to their roster with their previous pick, they now pick up a second cornerback to round out their secondary. West’s attributes remind me a bit of safety Tayshawn Crunk, fast and agile. He should be able to keep up with most receivers and provide the Minnesota secondary a necessary boost. With 89 TPE and counting, West should be active this season and into the future.
 
3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – Jake Fencik, Kicker/Punter
 
Archetype: Balanced
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 165 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Kick Accuracy (80), Kick Power (75), Endurance (65)
 
And there it is folks, the first kicker/punter off the board! Myrtle Beach decides to take the best special teams player in the draft as the rest of their roster is shaping up nicely. Fencik has 95 TPE total, and it definitely shows in his attributes. 80 kick accuracy is nothing to sneeze at, followed closely with 75 kick power. While some teams elect to go with non-human players for their kickers, the Buccaneers give themselves a little peace of mind for their kicking game. Maybe this will be the start of a kicker/punter run?
 
4. Tijuana Luchadores – Brick Van Sanzo, Defensive End
 
Archetype: Power Rusher
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 285 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (77), Strength (70), Endurance (62)
 
The Luchadores started this draft with a defensive end, and they are taking another one here. Tijuana came into this draft with zero DE’s on their roster, but now they are back at full strength with two. While the position is not exceedingly deep this year, Brick Van Sanzo is the best of the DE’s left. With 84 TPE and a solid 77 speed and 70 strength, Van Sanzo should make an immediate impact for the Luchadores defensive line. If user snazzlepuss22 gets even more active, this could be a steal for Tijuana.
 
5. London Royals – Daniel Foster, Tight End
 
Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 264 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (77), Endurance (65), Hands (61)
 
The Royals deviate from a run of four defensive players to pick their first offensive one who just happens to be one of the best tight ends in this class. While they already have one tight end on their roster, the value here is simply too good to pass up. Additionally, a second tight end affords them the flexibility to run two tight-end sets, great for either inside runs or play action. Daniel Foster has 101 TPE and seems to have put most of it into pure speed. At 6’5” with 77 speed, Foster is a serious vertical threat. His user, Arkz, is one of the most active I have personally seen with him most notably coming out with this S25 prospect review covering every single player in the S25 class, very impressive. This is great value for London here and I am sure Foster will be happy to be a Royal.
 
6. Dallas Birddogs – Richard ‘Dick’ Leaking, Linebacker
 
Archetype: Speed Rusher
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 242 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (70), Strength (68), Tackling (65)
 
Dallas selects one of the best remaining linebackers, both in skill and in name. With this selection, Mr. Leaking would be the third linebacker rostered by Dallas. At 6’5”, Dick stands erect on the field, waiting for his moment to find a tight end and penetrate past him into the backfield. His top three attributes may seem low, but he has chosen to bank all of his TPE (which he has 99 of, by the way) like a few others. He is an active user, more so on Discord than the forums, but active nonetheless. Dallas gets good value here as they can shape Mr. Leaking however they choose. 
 
7. Kansas City Coyotes – Djibutee McJimmerson, Tight End
 
Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 249 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (70), Hands (69), Endurance (65)
 
The Coyotes take a page out of the Royals’ playbook and opt for the value play. While they already have two tight ends rostered, one has been inactive for over 2 months. Djibutee McJimmerson is most definitely active as he has 99 TPE total. The 6’5” product from Rwanda is certainly make headway into becoming a well-balanced prospect. A very respectable 70 speed and 69 hands makes him a great target for the QB to look for on 3rd down situations. He joins an already stacked Coyotes offense.
 
8. Norfolk SeaWolves – Chuck Roth, Offensive Lineman
 
Archetype: Technician
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 331 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (80), Run Blocking (70), Pass Blocking (70)
 
When the rest of your roster is pretty stacked, where do you turn? Offensive line is never a bad bed and that is exactly what the Norfolk SeaWolves choose to do here. Chuck Roth has somewhat flown under the radar for most teams, most likely due to his lack of Discord activity. However, when it comes to earning TPE, Roth is on top of it. With 106 currently and counting, Roth is one of the best among offensive linemen. His attributes give him a fantastic foundation to build off of. Another great pick for the reigning Ultimini champions.
 
Round 6
 
1. Portland Pythons – Cmon Skiuuup, Tight End
 
Archetype: Vertical threat
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 250 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (70), Hands (70), Strength (68)
 
The Pythons go ahead and follow suit by adding a second tight end to their roster. Cmon Skiuuup currently has 107 TPE (including T6 equipment) and is improving by the week. Perhaps one of the most balanced receivers in the class, Mr. Skiuuup is equally fast and dexterous, having both 70’s in speed and hands. Sam Howitzer, the Pythons starting quarterback, should be thanking his GM for giving him another weapon to throw to on offense.
 
2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – Honky-Tonk Haywood, Defensive Tackle
 
Archetype: Interior Rusher
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 308 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (70), Strength (65), Endurance (64)
 
Some might argue that the Grey Ducks waited too long to address the interior of their defensive line. Their one rostered defensive tackle has 153 TPE, but unfortunately has not been active seen in over five weeks. However, I think they still managed to pick up a solid DT in Honky-Tonk Haywood. Haywood currently has 89 TPE, a respectable amount. He should slot into the starting lineup easily and be able to show off what he can do with his 70 speed.
 
3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – L’Gazzy Burfict, Linebacker
 
Archetype: Run Stopper
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 255 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (70), Speed (70), Tackling (70)
 
The Buccaneers elect to harvest a linebacker from this season’s ever-shrinking crop. They currently only have two linebackers rostered (one of whom has not been active for over 2 months), so L’Gazzy Burfict is a no-brainer here. With 89 total TPE, L’Gazzy is arguably the most well-rounded linebacker selected yet. With 70’s in the three most important attributes, he will be able to make an immediate impact in the run game.
 
4. Tijuana Luchadores – Tony Yeboah, Safety
 
Archetype: Run Support
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 225 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (75), Endurance (72), Tackling (60), Agility (60)
 
After taking a cornerback in the second, the Tijuana Luchadores elect to pick a safety here to compliment him. Counting cornerback James Gath in the second round, the Luchadores now have 2 corners and 3 safeties rostered. However, out of those five, two have not been active in over a month. This pick gives the Luchadores flexibility in their secondary. They can choose to either keep Tony at safety, or they can position swap him over to corner. In regard to his attributes, Tony has speed and endurance high. While his tackling could use improvement, especially if playing in a run support role, he should be a very serviceable safety with 95 total TPE.
 
5. London Royals – Adam C. Spencer, Wide Receiver
 
Archetype: Route Runner
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 210 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (80), Hands (74), Agility (70)
 
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The London Royals stick with the same strategy as last round and take value where they can find it. In this case, at the wide receiver position. Adam C. Spencer is a recreate with 104 total TPE. While certainly impressive on its own, what is more admirable is how he chose to spread it out. 80 speed, 74 hands, and 70 agility is a lethal combination. This man can run, catch, and make guys miss, simply put. A true steal for London halfway through the sixth round.
 
6. Dallas Birddogs – NationalSimulation FootballLeague, Safety
 
Archetype: Center Fielder
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 215 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (82), Agility (70), Endurance (70)
 
The Dallas Birddogs add the player with arguably the best name in the entire class. While they already have a total of five defensive backs on the roster, including four safeties, two of them have not been active for close to two months. The logic behind this pick is the same as when they took Albert Ruschmann in the first round: position swap. NationalSimulation FootballLeague is an 87 TPE safety who can easily make the transition to cornerback. Given his 82 speed and 70 endurance, he would make an excellent man to man corner.
 
7. Kansas City Coyotes – Owen Holloway, Quarterback
 
Archetype: Game Manager
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 195 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (79), Intelligence (70), Throwing Accuracy (67)
 
The Kansas City Coyotes saw what the Buccaneers did in the last round by taking Jake Fencik and decided to do the same, this time with quarterback. Taking a look at the Coyotes’ roster, we can see that despite having a 333 TPE quarterback, he has not been seen in over a month. The first quarterback off the board (and deservingly so), Owen Holloway is a student of the game. A recreate, Owen already has 117 TPE and is climbing fast. His 79 speed may lead to him being more of a scrambler than a game manager, but in time his throwing ability should catch up to his running ability.
 
8. Norfolk SeaWolves – Killian Chambers, Wide Receiver
 
Archetype: Possession Receiver
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 200 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (79), Hands (71), Endurance (70)
 
Adding another receiver to their roster, the Norfolk SeaWolves only get stronger on offense. Chambers is a solid receiver, bottom line. With 99 TPE, he has raised his speed to 79, as well has having 71 for hands and 70 endurance. This combination makes him a reliable target in the passing game and the occasional deep ball threat as well. The user, charlit, has been quite active both on the forums and within locker rooms. The SeaWolves get themselves a dependable receiver and a dedicated user.
 
Round 7
 
1. Portland Pythons – Zach Crossley, Wide Receiver
 
Archetype: Route Runner
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 176 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (80), Hands (72), Agility (70)
 
Another receiver off the board, the first for the Portland Pythons this draft. Zach Crossley is a similar specimen to the previous pick, Killian Chambers. A hair slower, he has slightly better hands and a bit more wiggle to throw off opposing DB’s. Also at 99 TPE, Crossley is earning consistently and is on his way to developing into a number one receiver. 
 
2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – Gary Goodman, Linebacker
 
Archetype: Speed Rusher
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 240 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (70), Speed (70), Agility (68)
 
The linebacker position is certainly one of the deeper ones in this draft class and the Minnesota Grey Ducks snag a good one in Gary Goodman. With only two linebackers rostered, Goodman will step in and fill the third linebacker slot. He is at 99 TPE overall and earning steadily. He has the ideal skillset for a speed rusher with equal speed and strength and some finesse moves thrown in as well. Do not be surprised this season if you see Goodman on the stat sheet racking up TFL’s and sacks.
 
3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – Crayne Whebet, Wide Receiver
 
Archetype: Route Runner
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 180 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Agility (70), Speed (70), Hands (70), Endurance (70)
 
Like the linebacker position, the receiver position is also particularly deep this class. Crayne Whebet is similar to Chuck Roth in that I feel he has been flying under the radar for a lot of teams. Despite not being entirely active within team locker rooms, Crayne still has amassed 92 TPE, keeping all that he has earned banked. If you’re a scout for a team, you have to appreciate when players do that as it gives you the flexibility to fit them into your offense in multiple ways. Crayne is a dedicated receiver who is a jack of all trades, but master of none with his equal agility, speed, hands, and endurance. If you are looking for a guy who can step in and produce on any offense, this is your man. Solid selection by the Buccaneers.
 
4. Tijuana Luchadores – Marlon Alexander, Offensive Lineman
 
Archetype: Run Blocker
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 340 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (80), Run Blocking (75), Pass Blocking (60)
 
As I said before, bolstering the offensive line is never a bad idea. The Luchadores, with only one offensive lineman currently rostered, choose to do exactly that with their selection of Marlon Alexander. Mr. Alexander has 98 TPE total, a very respectable amount. With 80 strength and 75 run blocking, he fits his archetype well. What is most notable about this prospect though is his user, platanocat. He is arguably one of the most active users within the London Royals’ locker room, and clearly dedicated to the league. Tijuana gets a great player and great user with their seventh-round selection.
 
5. London Royals – Owen Isaac, Defensive End
 
Archetype: Power Rusher
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 290 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (72), Speed (70), Endurance (66)
 
I will be honest with you readers. This pick was supposed to be a defensive tackle as the Royals currently have no true DT’s on their roster. However, taking a look at the remaining DT’s, almost all of them are at 65 TPE or lower. So, what do the Royals do? Take the best remaining defensive end and position swap him. While Owen Isaac might need to put on a few pounds, he certainly has the attributes to make the transition. 72 strength combined with 70 speed will make him effective in the trenches.
 
6. Dallas Birddogs – Adam Mellott, Offensive Lineman
 
Archetype: Pass Blocker
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 330 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (75), Pass Blocking (75), Run Blocking (70)
 
With this pick, the Dallas Birddogs have replaced their two 50 TPE overall linemen with two hopefully more active ones. Adam Mellott is a good-sized pass blocking lineman. With 75 strength, 75 pass blocking, and 70 run blocking, he already has a solid foundation for the makings of a quality hog molly. If he continues to earn at this steady pace, he will be at the ISFL level in no time.
 
7. Kansas City Coyotes – Sam Roes, Defensive End
 
Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 281 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (74), Strength (70), Endurance (68)
 
If you want to know what I think of this pick, scroll 2 picks up to the London Royals selection of Owen Isaac. Exact same situation here, just that the Dallas Birddogs do have a true defensive tackle rostered. Sam Roes has a modest 79 TPE total, but he is active on the forums at the very least and should continue to earn. Again, like Own Isaac for the Royals, the transition to DT for Roes should be an easy one. Just need to maybe visit Cheesecake Factory twice a week.
 
8. Norfolk SeaWolves – Jackie Daytona, Quarterback
 
Archetype: Game Manager
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 230 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Arm (70), Intelligence (70), Throwing Accuracy (70)
 
The Norfolk SeaWolves won the Ultimini this season with 607 TPE quarterback Suleiman Ramza at the helm. Whether or not he will be called up to the ISFL remains to be seen, but the SeaWolves needed to draft his replacement sooner rather than later. Enter Jackie Daytona. Daytona is a recreate from dedicated user Mooty99. With 100 total TPE, Daytona seems to be more of a pure passer as compared to Owen Holloway, boasting 70’s in arm strength, accuracy, and intelligence. Planning for the future is planning for success and Norfolk has done just that with this selection.
 
Round 8
 
1. Portland Pythons – Clay Stallworth, Offensive Lineman
 
Archetype: Technician
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 320 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (76), Intelligence (75), Pass Blocking (70)
 
The Portland Pythons finally address the fact that they have no offensive linemen rostered with this selection. Clay Stallworth is an 89 TPE overall technician. The archetype is fitting as he is one of the most intelligent offensive linemen in the draft. Couple that with his 76 strength, and you get a strong player who can make blocking adjustments on the fly. For this late in the draft, this is great value.
 
2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – T.J. Evans, Wide Receiver
 
Archetype: Possession Receiver
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 195 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (76), Hands (70), Endurance (65)
 
Having drafted one receiver already with their first-round selection, Minnesota decides to double dip in the eighth round. With 81 TPE, T.J. Evans is a serviceable number two receiver. 76 speed is a bit slow, but he is a possession guy, not necessarily a burner. So long as he keeps earning his TPE, Evans should be an effective player for the Ducks this season.
 
3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – Clay Clark, Cornerback
 
Archetype: Man to Man
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 199 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (72), Agility (71), Intelligence (60)
 
Myrtle Beach adds another corner to their roster, second of this draft and fourth in total. With one corner either a bot or inactive (hard to tell), Clay Clark should slide into the nickel corner slot easily. Though not the fastest cornerback, Clark shows promise. With 79 TPE total, he is slowly but surely improving.
 
4. Tijuana Luchadores – Buster Bawlls
 
Archetype: Blocking Back
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 250 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (70), Endurance (70), Speed (65)
 
The Tijuana Luchadores select the only fullback in the draft, Buster Bawlls. Some may argue that this is a little high for a fullback. Others may ask why they are even drafting a fullback at all. I, however, think this pick is perfectly logical. The Luchadores have Crowbar Theeks as their main back. By adding Buster Bawlls, it not only allows Theeks to have a lead blocker through the hole, but it also provides them with flexibility on offense as opposing defenses now have to consider two-back sets or swing passes out of the backfield. Buster Bawlls has 87 TPE, the most of any of the remaining running backs on the board. With 70 strength and endurance, Bawlls just needs to improve his blocking a little bit to be a true fullback.
 
5. London Royals – Henry Grant, Defensive End
 
Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 285 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (72), Strength (70), Endurance (70)
 
As I said earlier in this draft, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, this time talking about London drafting defensive ends to play defensive tackle for them. At a modest 67 TPE, Grant is tied for the highest TPE total of all remaining defensive lineman. If we look specifically at the defensive tackles, it is even uglier with none of them having more than 57 TPE. Grant’s attributes are solid at least, and with a little TLC he could blossom in a solid DT.
 
6. Dallas Birddogs – Jimi Desoto, Linebacker
 
Archetype: Coverage Linebacker
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 230 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (75), Agility (70), Endurance (65)
 
While other teams are going need, the Birddogs go value, and getting an 89 TPE player towards the end of the 8th round is fantastic value. While they already have three linebackers on their roster, including the infamous Richard ‘Dick’ Leaking they drafted in the 5th round, Jimi Desoto will likely see playing time in either 3-4 defensive packages or ones on passing downs. A coverage linebacker, Desoto has the attributes to match. His 75 speed should allow him to play zone effectively against receivers over the middle. Though his role is not entirely clear yet, the value just could not be passed up here for Dallas.
 
7. Kansas City Coyotes – Xmus Flaxon Jaxon-Waxon, Safety
 
Archetype: Center Fielder
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 205 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (82), Endurance (72), Agility (70)
 
Taking a cursory look at the Coyotes roster, I can see that they have six defensive backs. However, looking a little more closely, I notice that two thirds of them have not been active in a month or more. Numbers can be deceiving folks. This is why picking Xmus Flaxon Jaxon-Waxon, or XFJW for short, makes sense here. Whether the Coyotes keep him at safety or move him to corner is up to them. Either way they only have one active player at each of those positions. As I said about another draftee, XFJW reminds me of Tayshawn Crunk. Fast, center fielder safety who has the potential to be a ballhawk on the field. With 82 speed he is a sideline to sideline safety. Grabbing an 82 TPE player here is great value almost halfway through the draft.
 
8. Norfolk SeaWolves – Terry Tate, (Office) Linebacker
 
Archetype: Speed Rusher
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 255 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (70), Speed (70), Agility (65)
 
The SeaWolves locker room is starting to get a little crowded with some many bodies on the roster. Since they have pretty much all the holes in the submarine plugged, they can afford to take best player available here. While the pickings are getting slim at many positions, there is still value to be found at linebacker, and Terry Tate brings the value. With 89 TPE total and 49 of it banked, Tate is a blank slate waiting to dominate. Very much similar to the Dallas Birddogs’ selection of Jimi Desoto, the SeaWolves will have to find a place for Tate on the field. Regardless, another great value pick to end the round.
 
Round 9
 
1. Portland Pythons – Joe Show, Offensive Lineman
 
Archetype: Athletic Lineman
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 340 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (80), Run Blocking (70), Pass Blocking (70)
 
Portland took an offensive lineman last round – and were the only team to do so by the way – so they figured why not do it again? Joe Show is a 75 TPE offensive lineman with pretty respectable attributes for the 9th round. Like many other draftees I have talked about, Joe Show has a strong base of 80 strength and equal run and pass blocking abilities; things can only go up from here, provided he stays active.
 
2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – Cleg Manclaw, Tight End
 
Archetype: Blocking
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 260 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Endurance (65), Hands (62), Run Blocking (60)
 
The Minnesota Grey Ducks use this opportunity to pick up a second tight end. Cleg Manclaw. The only blocking archetype in his class, Cleg hardly has the stats to show for it. I believe he has chosen to bank his 19 earned TPE of his 69 total, hence the low stats. Regardless, if he can stay active and earn at a modest rate, he should serve the Ducks as their number two tight end simply fine.
 
3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – Hank Sakner, Defensive End
 
Archetype: Power Rusher
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 290 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (74), Speed (65), Endurance (65)
 
We really are starting to reach the bottom of the barrel with defensive line folks. Hank Sakner was 67 TPE total, with 74 strength being the highlight here. Seems this user came out of the gate strong but has been inactive for almost two weeks now. Regardless, He will serve as the Bucs second defensive end on the roster.
 
4. Tijuana Luchadores – Mark Walker, Wide Receiver
 
Archetype: Route Runner
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 185 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (76), Agility (70), Hands (65)
 
Despite having two receivers that are both over 330 TPE, the Tijuana Luchadores use this pick to select a third one. Mark Walker has 68 TPE and fortunately seems to have applied all of it. While his hands could use improvement, 76 speed is serviceable, and 70 agility is not too shabby either. User deadlunatic was active just a few days ago so do not consider this a throwaway pick for the Luchadores. You never know when someone could be the next 1,300 TPE receiver.
 
5. London Royals – Ben Anabender, Cornerback
 
Archetype: Zone
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 170 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (75), Agility (60), Intelligence (60)
 
The Royals roster is solid pretty much all around. The one position I noticed they were still lacking at this point in the draft was a nickel corner. Fortunately for them, Ben Anabender was still on the board. With 81 total TPE, but his 31 earned TPE banked, Anabender is a raw corner. His base speed of 75 is adequate but certainly could be improved upon. However, for this late in the draft, the Royals could have done much, much worse.
 
6. Dallas Birddogs – Flap N’Chick, Tight End
 
Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 259 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Endurance (70), Speed (60), Hands (60)
 
Dallas, like many teams before them, adds a second tight end to their roster. Talk about long train running, Flap N’Chick’s highest attribute is endurance. The 69 total TPE prospect may not be fast or have the best hands, but he can run for days. Fortunately for the Birddogs, this user was active just yesterday, at least at the time of writing. Here’s to hoping he stays active and can be of service to the team.
 
7. Kansas City Coyotes – Wasrabi Gleel, Linebacker
 
Archetype: Power Rusher
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 265 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (73), Strength (70), Tackling (70)
 
With this pick, the Coyotes will now have 6 (six!) linebackers on their roster. That being said, the value here late in the 9th round is simply too good to pass up. Seriously, an 84 TPE player in the 9th round? This is one of the best value picks of the draft. The user was active just a few days ago and has put out media on the forums. If he stays active, the value of this selection will only grow. Having too many quality players is a problem Kansas City will gladly accept.
 
8. Norfolk SeaWolves – Marc Hamel, Offensive Lineman
 
Archetype: Technician
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 340 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (75), Pass Blocking (70), Run Blocking (70)
 
At this point in the draft, teams should really disregard needs and just start picking best player available. Marc Hamel is certainly one of the best remaining players this far into the draft. With 75 total TPE, he has chosen to bank all of it – no problem there. His attributes provide a great foundation to build up from, and like I have said before, bolstering your lines are never a bad idea. Norfolk picking the best of whoever is left in the player pool.

Oooof. Great work, really insightful article! But if I'm still there in the 9th round then someone done messed up.

RE: S24 DSFL Complete Mock Draft - katarn22 - 08-03-2020

Round 10

1. Portland Pythons – Bronko Mills, Running Back

Archetype: Power Back
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 245 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (79), Strength (71), Endurance (70)

Half of the running backs taken in the draft thus far have gone to the Pythons (that would be two of them). Despite the modest TPE total of 70, I feel that this is a steal for the Pythons. Bronko Mills is a recreate player from user PaytonM34 who has been around the league since December of 2017. To get a player with this unquestionable level of commitment this late in the draft is amazing. The TPE will come, just give them time. In regard to roster construction, Bronko will slide in as the second string running back for the Pythons. Depth at all positions is crucial, but especially at running back.

2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – Dexter Jackson, Linebacker

Archetype: Speed Rusher
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 240 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (70), Tackling (70), Strength (65)

I said it earlier and I will say it again: linebacker is arguably the deepest position group in this class and this pick certainly supports it. Dexter Jackson will be the Grey Ducks fourth linebacker, so they will have to be creative with how they use him. Jackson is a recreate from user KrillaScrilla, active on the forums since mid-June of 2019. My points made in the previous post are still valid here. Long time users give team GM’s peace of mind in regard to staying active. Despite the modest TPE total of 71, Jackson will develop in time.

3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – Stephon Trummer

Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 255 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (73), Hands (67), Endurance (65)

The Myrtle Beach Buccaneers follow the trend by adding a second tight end to their roster. The tight end draftee from Germany has 69 total TPE – nice. He unfortunately has not been active in over a week. And that’s about it for this one…

4. Tijuana Luchadores – Leo Bloomfield, Kicker/Punter

Archetype: Accurate
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 160 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Kick Accuracy (80), Kick Power (72), Endurance (65)

It is the middle of the 10th round. The night is dark. The prospect pipelines have run dry. All is looking grim for the Tijuana Luchadores. They may have to draft a fourth defensive linemen. They are about to accept their fate when suddenly, a thunderous kick bursts down the war room door, ripping it off its hinges. The GM can only see a silhouette backlit by a blinding light. The light quickly fades and the silhouette steps forward, revealing themselves. It is Leo Bloomfield, the second-best kicker/punter in this draft. The Tijuana Luchadores immediately rush the pick in. There is much rejoicing. The world is saved.

On a more serious note, Mr. Bloomfield is an 81 TPE kicker who is regularly active both on the forums and on Discord. The Luchadores currently do not have a kicker/punter on their roster, and given how late into the draft they are, this pick makes sense. Another great value selection here.

5. London Royals – Terry Yaki, Running Back

Archetype: Speed Back
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 195 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (80), Endurance (70), Agility (65)

Aside from their 5th and 6th round picks, the Royals have gone all defense this draft. They decide to change it up and take a running back. While the Royals already have 200+ TPE and 300+ TPE running backs, having a third back for depth is never a bad idea. Terry Yaki stands at 69 TPE thus far. They have not been active for a few days unfortunately, but if they do come back, the Royals will have a serviceable backup.

6. Dallas Birddogs – Jack Burton, Kicker/Punter

Archetype: Balanced
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 198 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Kick Power (75), Kick Accuracy (72), Endurance (65)

Not wanting to risk having to use a bot at the kicker/punter positions, the Dallas Birddogs select the last one from this year’s draft. Jack Burton is the lowest of the three in terms of TPE at 62. However, he has been fairly active and has the beginnings of a solid kicker. Decent pick for the Dogs.

7. Kansas City Coyotes – Bob Roberts, Safety

Archetype: Playmaker
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 205 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (71), Agility (71), Endurance (65)

At this point in the draft, the Coyotes could almost divide their roster in half and field another complete team. Having ample bodies at every position, they elect to go with one of the higher TPE totals remaining in Bob Roberts. Roberts is a 76 TPE safety with modest stats. Let’s be honest, almost nobody at this point in the draft is going to be a homerun pick. That being said, Roberts is a fine selection – decent TPE total, relatively active, that’s all you can really ask for at this point.

8. Norfolk SeaWolves – Teddy Utterstruzen, Safety

Archetype: Run Support
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 225 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (70), Tackling (70), Endurance (70)

Continuing the safety trend, the SeaWolves add a backup one to their roster. Coming in at 75 TPE, Teddy Utterstruzen is an evenly balanced safety in terms of ability. Similar to the Kansas City Coyotes, the SeaWolves roster is stacked with bodies. How they come up with a way to get Teddy involved is yet to be seen, but they’re just glad to snag a decent player this late in the draft

Round 11

1. Portland Pythons – Caleb Judge, Linebacker

Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 236 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (70), Tackling (70), Speed (70)

The Pythons add a fourth linebacker to their roster. Judge has a meager 67 TPE and also has all of it banked. He does have solid starting stats for a linebacker though. A newer recruit, Judge seems to be active since signing up, so that is always a plus especially for a late round pick.

On a separate note, just to show how deep the linebacker position is this year, Judge is (if my counts are right) the 11th linebacker taken in this draft. His TPE is still in the mid to high 60’s. For comparison, all of the remaining QB’s, DT’s, and RB’s are in the 50’s. Maybe this is how it is every year, but I thought that was an interesting bit of data.

2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – Sory An’Tyler, Wide Receiver

Archetype: Speed Receiver
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 205 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (81), Agility (65), Endurance (60)

The Grey Ducks pick their third receiver in the draft with 67 TPE Sory An’Tyler. A very recent create (created 8/1), An’Tyler is actually a recreate. Despite getting a late start on earning TPE, they have taken advantage of every opportunity to do so. At this stage in the draft, you are looking not only for decent TPE totals, but also activity. Activity gives rise to more TPE. Can’t gain TPE if you’re inactive *taps temple and looks at camera*. An’Tyler is pure speed with 81 – surprisingly fast for an 11th round player. If they stay active and shore up their catching ability, this could be a great pickup for the Ducks.

3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – Matty Martinsson, Linebacker

Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 238 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Tackling (70), Speed (70), Endurance (70)

Adding a fourth linebacker to their roster, the Bucs take Matty Martinsson. 63 TPE is about what you would expect for this point in the draft. A fairly recent create (7/28), he has banked all of his TPE like several others. Solid foundation in his attributes, just need to see him be active to be successful.

4. Tijuana Luchadores – Jeeeeroy Lenkins, Cornerback

Archetype: Man to Man
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 190 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (78), Hands (60), Endurance (55)

Jeeeeroy Lenkins finds is the newest Luchador and will serve as their nickel corner. Another late create (7/28), Lenkins is a pretty fast dude, a good skill to have in his position. While his other skills are lacking, his activity shows promise as he has 70 TPE total.

5. London Royals – Dakota Grossman, Wide Receiver

Archetype: Red Zone Threat Receiver
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 220 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Hands (71), Endurance (65), Speed (63)

The only red zone threat receiver in this class, Dakota Grossman is now a member of the London Royals. Slotting in as their fourth wide receiver, Grossman has 63 TPE to his name. Speaking of his name, he is certainly living up to it through his attributes. I understand he is a red zone threat archetype, but only 63 speed for a receiver. Gross, man.

6. Dallas Birddogs – Milk Mann, Safety

Archetype: Run Support
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 220 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (76), Endurance (70), 3 tied at 60

The absolute, number one, undisputed sleeper of the draft. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Milk Mann, the 94 (NINETY-FOUR!!!!!) TPE safety. This man is so much of a sleeper that even I missed him in the earlier rounds of this mock. Well congratulations Dallas, you needed a second safety and Mr. Mann just happened to fall into your laps. I never claimed that this would be the most realistic mock draft.

7. Kansas City Coyotes – Duncan Donuts, Offensive Lineman

Archetype: Run Blocker
Height: 6’7”
Weight: 340 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (80), Run Blocking (75), Intelligence (60), Endurance (60)

Kansas City adds a third offensive lineman this draft. Duncan Donuts is at 66 TPE with strong arms and good footwork in the run game. At 340 pounds, one has to wonder if Dunkin Donuts gave him free donuts for life due to his name and he simply took advantage of that since being able to walk. Duncan’s user is still active, believe it or not, having posted to their update page on 7/31. If they stay active, this could be a steal for the Coyotes, especially this far into the draft.

8. Norfolk SeaWolves – Mason Gillion, Cornerback

Archetype: Man to Man
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 195 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (75), Agility (72), Endurance (60)

The SeaWolves, somehow, continue to find decent value even this late in the draft. Mason Gillion will technically be the fourth corner for Norfolk, though one of the corners ahead of him has been inactive since 6/21. Speaking of being inactive, Gillion is not, having posted 5 days ago at the time of writing. With 75 speed and 72 agility, he could see playing time in nickel and dime packages.

Round 12

1. Portland Pythons – Jake Sackson, Defensive End

Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 300 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (76), Endurance (65), Strength (60)

So if you are still reading, remember what I said about safety Milk Mann just a few picks ago? Yeah well forget all that. This dude right here is, somehow, an even BIGGER sleeper than Milk Mann. Jake Sackson will immediately step into a starting defensive end role for the Pythons with his, wait for it…97 TPE. You read that right folks. In the last two days or so, user goodvsevil1275 has become active and purchased T6 equipment for Mr. Sackson giving him a huge TPE boost over the rest of the field. Another sneaky player who flew well under my radar, Portland gets lucky with this one.

2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – Ninton Quelson, Offensive Lineman

Archetype: Technician
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 330 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (72), Run Blocking (70), Pass Blocking (70), Endurance (70)

In the 12th round of the draft, the Grey Ducks take their first offensive lineman in the form of Ninton Quelson. At 69 TPE, this is surprisingly decent value for this late in the draft. While he has not allocated any of this TPE, he has a very solid core of stats to work from. Quelson should see time in the starting lineup this season.

3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – Hank Antilles, Offensive Lineman

Archetype: Athletic Lineman
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 340 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (77), Pass Blocking (70), Run Blocking (70)

Myrtle Beach follows suit and also selects an offensive lineman, their second of the draft. You might not know Hank, but you definitely know his great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, grandfather Wedge Antilles, famous for his participation in the Battle of Yavin and destruction of the first death star. While Hank is not a hotshot X-Wing pilot, he is a decent offensive lineman (almost as good, right?). Coming in at 65 TPE total, Antilles has a decent start on his stats. Whether or not he can come back and be active remains to be seen.

4. Tijuana Luchadores – Dean McBean, Linebacker

Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 240 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (70), Tackling (70), Endurance (70)

With this addition the Luchadores now have a total of four linebackers rostered. The linebacker class this year is deep, but it is not THAT deep. Mr. McBean has a modest 61 TPE and has not been seen in over 2 weeks unfortunately. Regardless, depth is never a bad thing and the sim does not care whether you are active in real life or not.

5. London Royals – Matt Peterson, Quarterback

Archetype: Mobile
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 210 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Arm (70), Throwing Accuracy (70), Intelligence (65), Speed (65)

Every team needs backups, especially at the quarterback position. While the Royals are hoping Charlemagne Cortez never goes down (which he won’t because it’s the sim and there are no injuries), if by some miracle he does, enter Matt Peterson. Peterson is a 60 TPE recreate from user Peterson. A decent base to build up from, Peterson will need to be more active if he hopes to develop.

6. Dallas Birddogs – Willy Weasel, Wide Receiver

Archetype: Route Runner
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 212 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (79), Agility (70), Hands (61)

Believe it or not, Willy Weasel will slide into the Birddogs lineup as just their third receiver. A 67 TPE player, Weasel has pretty decent speed for this late in the draft. He was active just a few days ago so that has to be encouraging to Dallas.

7. Kansas City Coyotes – Crozier McCoy, Defensive End

Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 300 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (70), Speed (70), Endurance (65)

The Coyotes select a rotational defensive end in Crozier McCoy. This guy might need to find somewhere else to have his locker because the locker room is packed for Kansas City. With only 57 TPE, McCoy is tied with several other defensive lineman left. Largely inactive, let’s hope he comes back.

8. Norfolk SeaWolves – Troy Watson, Defensive End

Archetype: Speed Rusher
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 270 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (68), Strength (60), Agility (60), Tackling (60), Endurance (60)

The SeaWolves, technically, draft their first defensive linemen of the draft. Though Watson is a higher TPE player at 69 than previous pick Crozier McCoy, his attributes are objectively worse. However, the SeaWolves could use defensive line depth and the board dictated they take Watson here.

Round 13

1. Portland Pythons – Hugh McGree, Offensive Lineman

Archetype: Athletic Lineman
Height: 6’6”
Weight: 325 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (77), Pass Blocking (70), Run Blocking (70)

Hugh McGree, come on down! You’re the next contestant on “Building an Offensive Line”. Hugh is the third offensive lineman taken by the Pythons this draft. A 65 TPE player, he has fine stats for this far into the draft. Cannot ask for much more really.

2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – King Tutankhamun, Running Back

Archetype: Speed Back
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 195 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (82), Endurance (70), Agility (55)

We’ve had one running back, yes, but what about second running back? The Grey Ducks take King Tutankhamun, a recreate from user WALDO. Despite only having 63 TPE, I think this is a great pick. WALDO has been around the site since early October of 2018, so you know the TPE will come, albeit slowly. 82 speed is also a great attribute to have, especially as a 13th round running back. The Grey Ducks find value here late in the draft.

3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – Alexander Johnson, Wide Receiver

Archetype: Speed Receiver
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 175 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (80), Agility (65), Endurance (60)

The Bucs take a fourth wide receiver with their selection here of Alexander Johnson. A 62 TPE speed receiver, Johnson has 80 speed working for him More importantly, though, is that he was active just a few days ago. There is still hope for this one in Myrtle Beach.

4. Tijuana Luchadores – Connor Quigley, Offensive Lineman

Archetype: Run Blocker
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 340 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Run Blocking (75), Strength (72), Intelligence (65)

The second offensive lineman taken for Tijuana in this draft, Quigley is a 69 TPE player. I know they say that human offensive line players are better than bots, but does this hold true if they are inactive? I guess we will find out.

5. London Royals – Bill Brasky, Kicker/Punter

Archetype: Unknown (lol)
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 230 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Kick Power (75), Kick Accuracy (70), Endurance (65)

I know I said earlier that there were only three kicker/punter prospects in this class. Well things were a little mercurial regarding Mr. Brasky over here. Originally creating as a quarterback, but then switching to kicker/punter on his update page, Brasky has 68 TPE to his name. He was actually active just a few days ago (6/30) so there may be still be hope that he can come back and kick game winners for the Royals.

6. Dallas Birddogs – Naman Fletcher, Cornerback

Archetype: All-Around
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 210 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Agility (70), Speed (70), Endurance (65)

Dallas tries to get value where they can find it. Fletcher is a 65 TPE cornerback and will slot in as the Birddogs’ nickel corner it seems. Another seemingly inactive player.

7. Kansas City Coyotes – Steven Wadham, Safety

Archetype: Playmaker
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 205 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Agility (70), Endurance (69), Speed (68)

The Coyotes, despite having more than enough bodies on the team, go with the highest TPE player left on the board. Steven Wadham has a meager 65 TPE. What he does have going for him though is activity. A fairly recent create, Steven posted his update page just two days ago (8/1). Kansas City’s flier just might pay off this time.

8. Norfolk SeaWolves – Lebby Newton, Wide Receiver

Archetype: Possession Receiver
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 190 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Hands (75), Speed (71), Endurance (65)

The 3rd receiver taken by Norfolk in this draft, bringing their roster total to 5. I guess if you want to run 5 wide sets, you are going to need 5 wide receivers, right? Newton has been active since joining on June 22nd, God rest his soul.

Round 14

1. Portland Pythons – Dart Ragusa, Tight End

Archetype: Possession
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 245 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Hands (70), Endurance (65), Speed (60)

Dart Ragusa, despite not having an update page, should have 63 TPE based on his activity. One of only two possession tight end archetypes in the class, Ragusa has hands as his top attribute. He slots in as Portland’s third tight end, giving them some flexibility in the running game.

2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – D'Brickashaw Minshew Sr., Safety

Archetype: Playmaker
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 205 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (70), Agility (70), Endurance (70)

The Minnesota Grey Ducks select D'Brickashaw Minshew Sr., the player (not just safety, player) with the highest remaining TPE total on the board. That number would be 62. However, I have to give points to this guy just on his name alone. Whether he will actually contribute to the Grey Ducks, nobody can say. But having D'Brickashaw Minshew Sr. printed on a nameplate above your locker has to be quite the sight.

3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – Jake Woodhead, Tight End

Archetype: Possession
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 255 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Hands (65), Endurance (65), 3 tied at 55

Second tight end drafted by the Bucs, third on the roster, 57 TPE player, inactive. NEEEEEEEEEXXXT!

4. Tijuana Luchadores – Brandon Kirwin, Wide Receiver

Archetype: Route Runner
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 205 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (70), Hands (70), Agility (70)

At 52 TPE, Brandon Kirwin at least did SOMETHING before going inactive. The Luchadores take him to be their fourth wide receiver. At the very least, he has serviceable base stats.

5. London Royals – Curtis Blackshear, Cornerback

Archetype: Man to Man
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 203 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (80), Agility (70), Endurance (60)

The highest remaining TPE total on the board, Curtis Blackshear definitely does not fill any need for the Royals. But drafting a guy with 80 speed in the 14th round is the closest thing to a homerun pick that we will see.

6. Dallas Birddogs – Abdul-Jabbar Abid, Defensive End

Archetype: Power Rusher
Height: 6’6”
Weight: 290 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (75), Strength (65), Endurance (65)

Dallas adds depth to their defensive line with this pick, a 57 TPE defensive end. He was active a week ago so there is a glimmer of hope at least. On a separate note completely, why do power rusher archetypes start with 75 speed but 65 strength? Shouldn’t that be swapped? I am sure someone more experienced than me has a logical explanation for it, I just like to think out loud sometimes.

7. Kansas City Coyotes – Scott Mastro, Wide Receiver

Archetype: Route Runner
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 175 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (70), Agility (70), Hands (70), Endurance (70)

There it is folks, the first 50 TPE total player off the board. Scott is also the last wide receiver in the draft. He will be 5th on the depth chart for the Kansas City Coyotes.

8. Norfolk SeaWolves – Trent Blackburn, Quarterback

Archetype: Pocket Passer
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 225 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Throwing Accuracy (75), Intelligence (70), Arm (69)

Just as the Coyotes took the last receiver off the board previous picks, the Dallas Birddogs select the last quarterback in the class. Trent Blackburn is a 58 TPE quarterback. Projected usage includes handing the ball off to running backs when Suleiman Ramza gets tired and holding a clipboard on the sideline.

Round 15

1. Portland Pythons – Sterling Moss, Offensive Lineman

Archetype: Athletic Lineman
Height: 6’6”
Weight: 320 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (75), Pass Blocking (70), Run Blocking (70)

The Pythons have almost drafted an entire offensive line, making this their 4th lineman selected in this draft. Sterling Moss was most recently active on twitter, sending his last tweet on 7/30 (EDIT: As of 12:41 PM on 8/3, Sterling Moss is active in the DSFL rookie Discord). He has solid stats to start out with, so maybe the 59 TPE lineman can come back and be active for Portland.

2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – Smitty McGhee, Offensive Lineman

Archetype: Run Blocker
Height: 6’6”
Weight: 333 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Run Blocking (80), Strength (70), Intelligence (65)

Make it back to back picks of offensive linemen. Smitty, like Sterling Moss, also has 59 TPE. Unlike Sterling Moss, though, Mr. McGhee has not been active in over a week. I guess one bright spot is his 80 run blocking. The ground game is very prevalent in the DSFL so 80 run blocking should make an impact on any team.

3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – Chris Callahan, Safety

Archetype: Center Fielder
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 180 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (75), Agility (70), Endurance (70)

The Bucs take a shot at the last safety on the board. With 57 TPE, Chris Callahan and the rest of the safeties should be proud as they were one of only two position groups with no 50 TPE players (the other position group being quarterback).

4. Tijuana Luchadores – Gabr Spladle, Tight End

Archetype: Possession Tight End
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 240 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Hands (70), Endurance (70), Speed (55), Intelligence (55)

The Luchadores take 57 TPE tight end Gabr Spladle. He will be the third tight end on the Luchadores roster. Yep.

5. London Royals – Julian Joseph, Tight End

Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 255 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Endurance (65), Hands (63), Strength (55), Speed (55)

The Royals, seeing the Luchadores’ previous pick, decide to follow suit and draft a tight end as well. They must have liked that idea. Either that or the writer of this mock draft is getting lazy with his selections. Julian Joseph, 50 TPE tight end, inactive, F’s in chat.

6. Dallas Birddogs – Elijah Torres, Cornerback

Archetype: Man to Man
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 205 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (71), Endurance (70), Agility (70)

Dallas takes yet another defensive back, bringing their roster total to 9. Elijah Torres is actually a recreate from user Toasty, so it is a little surprising to see him this low down the list with only 57 TPE total. As a recreate, I feel there is a higher change inherently of the user coming back and being active, so this could be a solid choice for Dallas in the long run.

7. Kansas City Coyotes – Frankie Lantz, Running Back

Archetype: Speed Back
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 200 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (80), Endurance (70), Agility (65)

The Coyotes have taken almost every other position in this draft, so why not add a running back into the mix? The last running back in the class, Frankie Lantz stands at the bare minimum 50 TPE. At least he has 80 speed.

8. Norfolk SeaWolves – Bonifacius van den Huevel, Defensive Tackle

Archetype: Run Stuffer
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 310 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (71), Endurance (60), Agility (55)

The SeaWolves take their first defensive tackle in this draft. If the quality of your player name was worth TPE, this guy would have at least 150. Unfortunately, it is not, so he shall remain at 57 TPE until he becomes active again.

Round 16

1. Portland Pythons – Lugolor Gulogor, Cornerback

Archetype: All-Around
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 195 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (70), Agility (70), Intelligence (61)

The Pythons take just their second cornerback in the draft up until this point. At 57 TPE, this user has unfortunately not been active since the day they joined the site (7/20).

2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – Vick Vinegar, Defensive End

Archetype: Power Rusher
Height: 6’6”
Weight: 290 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (74), Speed (65), Endurance (60), Tackling (60)

In the 16th round, the Minnesota Grey Ducks take their first defensive end. Out of the three defensive ends still on the board prior to this pick, Vick Vinegar had the most TPE out of all them with a whopping 52. He has also been inactive since 7/20.

3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – Macho Weber, Offensive Lineman

Archetype: Athletic Lineman
Height: 6’6”
Weight: 329 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (77), Run Blocking (70), Pass Blocking (70)

The third offensive lineman drafted by Myrtle Beach and the fourth one rostered, Macho Weber comes in at 57 TPE. He has serviceable base attributes at least.

4. Tijuana Luchadores – Regius Goliathus, Linebacker

Archetype: Speed Rusher
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 255 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (65), Agility (60), Tackling (60), Endurance (60)

Another pick, another 57 TPE player. You guys know the drill by now.

5. London Royals – Kentdavion "Davie" Davis, Offensive Lineman

Archetype: Run Blocker
Height: 6’6”
Weight: 340 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Run Blocking (79), Strength (70), Pass Blocking (65)

The London Royals finally take their first offensive lineman in this draft in the 16th round. Coincidentally, Kentdavion "Davie" Davis is the last offensive lineman in this class. With 50 TPE and 1 total post on the forums, I think it’s safe to say that this user is inactive. But how about that 79 run blocking? That counts for something…right?

6. Dallas Birddogs – Colt Reinhorn, Tight End

Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’6”
Weight: 240 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Endurance (65), Speed (60), Hands (60)

Dallas selects their second tight end this draft, third on their roster, and last at their position in this class. Colt Reinhorn sits at 50 TPE, and there he shall most likely stay.

7. Kansas City Coyotes – J.J.J. Shabadoo, Defensive Tackle

Archetype: Interior Rusher
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 310 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (70), Speed (60), Endurance (60)

Lots of teams drafting the first of a position here, and Kansas City is no different as they select their first defensive tackle of the draft. The 57 TPE J.J.J. Shabadoo seems to also be inactive since 7/20.

8. Norfolk SeaWolves – Daniel Bateman, Linebacker

Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 240 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (70), Tackling (70), Speed (70), Endurance (70)

Whether they need him or not, the SeaWolves take linebacker Daniel Bateman. At 57 TPE, he has not spent any of the 7 that he has earned. Honestly though, not bad stats for this late in the draft.

Round 17

1. Portland Pythons – Monkey D. Luffy, Defensive Tackle

Archetype: Nose Tackle
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 310 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (80), Endurance (60), Intelligence (45)

The Pythons started the draft with a defensive tackle (GOAT TANK), and they will almost end it with a defensive tackle. Monkey D. Luffy is a recreate from user TheWoZy. However, they do not have an update page created yet and thus stand at 50 TPE.

Could you imagine for a second an actual monkey playing defensive tackle? Like a full-grown, silverback gorilla? Good lord, you could just rush only him every play and drop the other 10 guys back into coverage. Unfortunately Monkey D. Luffy is a human, not a monkey. My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – Breezy Wallace, Cornerback

Archetype: Man to Man
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 212 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (70), Agility (70), Intelligence (65)

The second cornerback taken by the Grey Ducks this draft; Breezy Wallace has 57 TPE total. Like other inactive users, they have decent base attributes.

3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – Hunter Mantis, Defensive Tackle

Archetype: Interior Rusher
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 300 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (63), Strength (60), Endurance (60)

Hunter Mantis, a defensive tackle with 1 forum post and, you guessed it, 50 TPE. Moving along.

4. Tijuana Luchadores – LeDavious "Dave" Davis, Defensive Tackle

Archetype: Run Stuffer
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 310 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (70), Tackling (65), Endurance (60)

The Luchadores select LeDavious "Dave" Davis, defensive dackle, I mean tackle. The last defensive tackle in this draft class. “Dave” also has 50 TPE and no update page.

5. London Royals – Chad Thunder, Linebacker

Archetype: Balanced
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 250 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (70), Tackling (70), Endurance (70)

Chad Thunder, what a name. Going back to my commentary on defensive tackle Bonifacius van den Huevel, if names were worth TPE, Chad Thunder would deserve a bit. Sadly, he sits at 59 TPE. Decent attributes though.

6. Dallas Birddogs – Sack Daddy, Defensive End

Archetype: Power Rusher
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 290 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (70), Speed (70), Endurance (60)

Is there a correlation between joke names and inactivity? We would have to leave out GOAT TANK since he is a statistical outlier, but it makes one wonder. Another 50 TPE player, only six more to go.

7. Kansas City Coyotes – Lukas Hinsetzen, Cornerback

Archetype: Man to Man
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 195 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (75), Agility (70), Endurance (62)

No update page, but he should have 52 TPE if my calculations are correct (50+2). Another inactive, unfortunately.

8. Norfolk SeaWolves – Gavin Leclerc, Cornerback

Archetype: Zone
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 200 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (70), Agility (70), Intelligence (60)

Back to back cornerbacks, things are getting EXCITING at the end of the 17th round! Gavin Leclerc might actually be active. He does not have an update page, but he posted in activity check #166 and #167 just 2 days ago (8/1) and should be at 54 TPE total. Again, any signs of life in these later rounds is a huge plus to a prospect’s draft stock.

Round 18

1. Portland Pythons – Jeff Haraldson, Linebacker

Archetype: Power Rusher
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 255 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Tackling (70), Strength (69), Speed (66)

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOOOOOOOWWWWN! Portland takes their 3rd linebacker of the draft. 50 TPE, inactive. Thanks, Jeff.

2. Minnesota Grey Ducks – Jeffery Jefferson, Defensive End

Archetype: Power Rusher
Height: 6’6”
Weight: 285 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Strength (70), Speed (70), Endurance (70)

The Grey Ducks take the last defensive end off the board and close out their draft (50 TPE by the way).

3. Myrtle Beach Buccaneers – Gib McGlib, Linebacker

Archetype: Speed Rusher
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 245 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (78), Agility (60), Tackling (60), Endurance (60)

Wow, second to last pick and they still have 78 speed? Impressive. The Myrtle Beach Buccaneers finish their draft by taking the last linebacker in this class.

4. Tijuana Luchadores – Charlie Woody, Cornerback, MR. IRRELEVANT

Archetype: All-Around
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 205 lbs.
Top 3 Attributes: Speed (72), Agility (72), Intelligence (60), Endurance (60)

This is it you guys. The last pick in the draft. We finally made it. Are you as relieved as I am? With the final pick, the Tijuana Luchadores select Charlie Woody, cornerback with 50 TPE. What’s kind of funny is that the real Charles Woodson went number 4 overall in his draft class. Regardless, everyone in the draft must get selected, and selected they all have now been.

If you are reading this, I thank you for taking the time to look at my mock draft. This is a great community and I am so happy to have found it. See you all on draft night and best of luck.

I was a busy man this weekend and upped my earned TPE from 89 to 118. I’ve just seen a lot of mocks use my scores from a week ago and wanted to give Heads up. I love this piece though! Very well written and fun to read

RE: S24 DSFL Complete Mock Draft - Jimi64 - 08-03-2020

8th round? Why you doing this to me Katarn baby :'(
Well whatever happens, happens. Great work!

Yes I was afraid there would be several players who, over the days it took me to write this, would update their TPE numbers. I meant no offense, I'm sure you understand.

RE: S24 DSFL Complete Mock Draft - charlit - 08-03-2020

This is so cool! I think you did a great job evaluating multiple aspects of players when deciding where to mock them.

Although I will say, I hope I get drafted before the 6th round Wink

RE: S24 DSFL Complete Mock Draft - Asked Madden - 08-03-2020

Cracking effort. I'll take second round! 4 Horsemen in 4 rounds. Though Rucker should be up a round or two.

#FourHorsemen

RE: S24 DSFL Complete Mock Draft - jzajenius36 - 08-03-2020

This is an awesome effort and definitely well worthy of a Honky-Tonk butt slap

RE: S24 DSFL Complete Mock Draft - Pat - 08-03-2020

First off, this post is AMAZING.

Second, I am psyched to see myself projected in the second round here.

Third, if someone is able to get Gary Goodman in round 7, that's a HELL of a steal.
