Round 6
61. Sarasota Sailfish WR - Garfield Despacito, Jr.: Sarasota adds another Myrtle Beach alumni on the offensive side of the ball, giving Zack Vega an additional target to throw to. The front office will have no questions about Garfield's character or personality due to the Buccaneers connection, and Gwdjohnson is an experienced sim league user. Being able to link affiliate PTs etc. from SHL also gives him a higher activity floor than the other players available at this spot.

62. Honolulu Hahalua RB - Julio Tirtawidjaja
Tirtawidjaja famous to the league for his two game switch to QB is a highly coveted prospect. Honolulu will be happy he stayed at runningback as he will be a vital part along side White Goodman is running Running back by Committee, a proven method to doing well in this league. Julio is also a very nice user to talk to, helping. build the foundations of Honolulu Locker Room.

63 Philadelphia Liberty S - Hamish MacAndrew
The Liberty dip into the deep secondary class in this draft for the third time, taking Dallas safety Hamish MacAndrew. Although they have three safeties on the roster in Richard D'Attoria V (S15 1181TPE), Lamont McKinnie (S15 1000TPE), and Lennox Garret (S11 396TPE) the Liberty could use another young piece that can be ready in a few seasons to fill in for their aging veterans. MacAndrews has been a consistent earner for the Birddogs and can be a steal for the Liberty.

64 Arizona Outlaws LB - Jack Banks
Arizona would’ve liked to go OL here with their multitude of picks, but still has a few spots on their team left to fill, so the value is not there at OL just yet. Instead Arizona takes an active player and solid earner in Jack Banks to sure up that linebacking core. He might not come up next season, but at his current rate he’ll claim a spot in Arizona’s team in the future.

65. San Jose Sabercats - OL Tommy Sacamono
All I really have to say with this pick is fair rubs for San Jose.

66. Chicago Butchers RB - Jamar Lackson
Jamar Lackson is an often overlooked prospect that will be an important addition to Chicago’s rebuild. After losing Ryan Leaf Jr to retirement at the end of the season. Lackson may not be as well known as his draft mates, but he will be a great addition for the Butchers in the sixth round.

67. Baltimore Hawks LB - Mark Radson
The Hawks have loaded up on defensive talent in this draft. With two linemen and three defensive backs already selected, the Hawks finally address the middle of their defense with linebacker Mark Radson. Though he has missed an update, the Hawks will hope that being drafted into the NSFL will spark more activity and that he can eventually become a starter.

68. Colorado Yeti CB Baydon Brosley
Yeti get their hands on another CB. Brosley is outspoken, sure to be an active member in the league. Colorado has a need at both S and CB and will have their pick of Bumper or Brosley.

69. Baltimore Hawks LB - Spike Suzuki
The Hawks double dip at the linebacker position in the sixth. With all three starting linebackers in regression, the Hawks are hoping to hit on at least one of these guys. They take Suzuki, a mid-tier earner who is the best left on the board.

70. Orange County Otters K/P – Matthew McDairmid
In an unprecedentedly large draft class, there is only one top kicking prospect. The Otters having filled all their biggest needs in the first five picks and with current kicker Alex Dasistwirklichseinnachname about to hit regression, this is a smart developmental pick for Orange County here at seventy before he comes off the board (66 point TPE cliff for next available). Expect McDairmid to slide into the starting kicking role in two seasons.

71. Yellowknife Wraiths DT - Nuniq An...
With only one DT on their roster, the Wraiths came into the draft looking to add a game-breaker at the position. After missing out on the top options in previous rounds they're still able to add a stalwart to their DL to play alongside an aging Kroustis. Yellowknife continues to combine need with value with Nuniq as one of the best players on the board at the only remaining hole on a championship-caliber roster.

72. New Orleans Second Line WR - Leeroy Jenkins
New Orleans currently only has three wide receivers on it's roster. Of those three, Bona'beri Jones has announced retirement, Jed Podolak is unprotected for the expansion draft, and Smolder Bravestone appears to be inactive. While the Second Line isn't shy about lining up their running backs out wide and I've heard whispers that one of running backs may be making a full on position switch to receiver, I believe they grab the top receiver currently available to bolster their wilting corps.

Round 7
73. New Orleans Second Line OL - Joey McCabe
New Orleans is one of the few teams in the NSFL that puts a lot of value on their offensive linemen. They have two studs on their team now, but one is due to hit regression in S22 and the other is only a season behind. With most of their other needs addressed to this point, the Second Line spend this pick to grab the last of the higher earning linemen in this class to take the reins in a couple seasons.

74. Austin Copperheads Mike Lee WR
Doubling up on wide receivers in preparation to lose Rod Tidwell. Getting a WR with a Hall of Fame pedigree is a huge win. Between Lee and Cash Jr. The wide out position should be covered for the next few seasons

75. Philadelphia Liberty DE - Mario vonPebbles
The Liberty list three defensive ends on their roster. ILove Gimmy (S18 541TPE), Mike Franchet (S18 305TPE), and Jeff Personsacker (S21 88TPE) currently man the position them. Mario vonPebbles is an active, on the rise defensive end however who can help bolster the defensive line going forward. This is a depth pick that gambles on vonPebbles' potential when gets into an NSFL locker room.

76. Arizona Outlaws K - Sam Sidekick
Kicker so often gets overlooked in the NSFL, but Arizona bucks the trend here and takes Sidekick. Evok is a great user and plays in several leagues. Arizona recognizes this and grabs a solid LR contributor who can immediately improve the team here in the 7th round. Kicker is now set for several seasons.

77. San Jose Sabercats :Sabercats : - DE Ismael Sanchez
Sanchez is another Coyote alumni and with the departure of rookie Logan Noble Jr from the cats, they will look for a replacement in the well earning Sanchez.

78. Chicago Butchers QB - Jim Waters
Siddhus wants to go to chicago, being the merciful god I am, I shall grant his wish.

79. Austin Copperheads Brendan Lanier- S: I know Brendan from my time with Myrtle Beach. He switched to Safety for us and came on super strong to end the year with us. He is one of the reasons why we had such a dominant defense in the playoffs as he closed our last hole. The Copperheads getting a team first player that is willing to make sacrifices for the benefit of the team. He is trending up and I expect him to keep that trajectory.

80. Colorado Yeti QB Luke Skywalker
CO looks to Skywalker to be the QB of the future as McDummy is coming to the last few years of his career.

81. Baltimore Hawks Donatello Arrabiata - TE
Baltimore addressed their defensive needs with the first six rounds. Now that they have filled their biggest holes in the roster, they can look to add the best player available regardless of position. It never hurts to have more active players, so the Hawks take the 65th ranked player on Mithrandir's draft big board and the fifth best tight end in this draft. The Hawks don't use the tight end position in their offense, so maybe they'll ask Arrabiata to switch positions since Arrabiata is a much better pass catcher than he is blocker. Maybe the Hawks change their offensive strategy and commit more to the run, especially considering the loss of long time starter Corvo Havran, in which case they'll ask Arrabiata to improve as a blocker.

82. Orange County Otters DE – Simeon Works
With their last pick in the first eight rounds of the NSFL draft, the Otters add Works to the edge. Simeon has good speed and strength and had 10 tackles for loss with 3 sacks this past season. Works is a good piece to develop next season while Orange County sorts out the defensive end position.

83. Yellowknife Wraiths WR - Kevin Koh
With three good WRs on the roster this is a bit of a luxury pick, but Nate Swift is already in regression so adding a replacement makes sense here. He'll be a #3 option behind Rodriguez and Hardigan once Swift retires, but has the potential to develop into a solid #2 to Rodriguez with requisite speed and hands for the position.

84. New Orleans Second Line S - Magnus Valdyr
With only one active safety on the roster (who is protected) and multiple unprotected CBs, The Second Line dips into the fabled Tijuana-New Orleans pipeline to grab their second Magnus of the draft. While they would prefer to develop Valdyr in the DSFL for another season or two, this pick also provides New Orleans with a security blanket should the expansion draft ravage their secondary.

Round 8
85. Sarasota Sailfish DT - Hank Steel
No player available in Round 8 is perfect, but Hank Steel's activity is trending upwards. After a slow start, DrChops has become more active on the forums and on twitter, and recently wrote a pre-draft media piece. If Sarasota can take advantage of Steel's renewed interest in the league he could develop into a quality starter on the defensive line.

86. Honoulu Hahalua TE - Von Hayes
Honolulu do not yet have a Tight End on their roster, so pick one up in Von Hayes here. He is not that high of TP, but is a solid piece that if stays active, can be very good in a few seasons. Most teams only have one Tight End, so Hayes has an important job in front of him.

87 Arizona Outlaws RB - Aaron Feels
We’re now at the point in the draft where nothing besides BPA picks make sense. Arizona pulls an active and mature RB prospect to put in their DSFL development pipeline. They may ask him to switch to another position, or they may keep him down in the DSFL as a developmental RB who may eventually break into the team or be traded for more assets. Soupman89 is a solid user and really nice guy who will add to what now must be a very active locker room with all of these new players joining. Solid addition for the Outlaws.

88 Arizona Outlaws DE - Jimmy Frackerson
Another BPA pick, Frackerson was a crucial cog in the Myrtle Beach defense this season. While he didn’t earn at the rate of some of his teammates, he did continue to rack up a solid TPE total over the course of the year and was a fairly productive player on the field. Arizona continues to draft DEs and now have active depth players at each DL position. Another player they can stash in the DSFL with the hopes that he continues to develop. Maybe one day he claims a starting spot or is traded to a team in need of an active DE.

89. San Jose Sabercats - WR Daymond Brooks
SJS reaches out for brooks so he and butters can rekindle his relationship while Brooks swaps to a Defensive end to play on the line.

90. Chicago Butchers CB - Ozmataz Buckshank
Having addressed other key needs, Chicago is more than happy to get Buckshank in the eighth. With a situation as unique as the butchers do, it will be interesting to see exactly what happens this late into the draft. Buckshank will hopefully be a sleeper for Chicago’s future.

91. Honolulu Hahalua QB Tom Sofa
Corvo Havran is starting regression this season, and will need a replacement soon. With top quarterbacks, Ben Slothsliberger and Jim Waters taken off the board, they decide to take Tom Sofa a very nice and positive dude, and is the current Mr. Irrevalant in DSFL Draft. Well he has stepped his game up and will certainly not be the last pick this season. Many people including myself think he will go to Sarosota,but with it already being the 8th round, Honolulu can not wait anymore to pick.

92. Colorado Yeti LB Devaunte Sackpieder
Rev forgot a description so ill write one. Devaunte is a semi-active player on the Luchadores. I have seen him around on discord, and Yeti will take a chance on him to make sure and convince him he. should stay active.

93. New Orleans Second Line - CB Alexander Hamilton II
With most of the "sure thing" prospects off the board at this point, New Orleans spends a mid round flier on Alexander Hamilton II. Hamilton was on pace to be one of the top earners in this stacked CB class up until midway through March when he stopped updating. The Second Line picks him up here in hopes they can coax him back into the league and that he will pick up with his earning right where he left off.

94. Philadelphia Liberty LB - Samuel L Sackson Sr
The liberty landed an elite linebacker prospect in Derred de Ville in round one to give them three active linebackers. Deep into round eight they snag another active linebacker who can play as a depth linebacker and has potential to improve in Sackson

95. Yellowknife Wraiths - CB Matt Krause
The best remaining CB prospect comes off the board as the Wraiths take advantage of the CB depth in this draft. With Snuggles in regression and nearing retirement they could use a young CB, and Krause will be able to continue his development in the DSFL until said retirement. CB is an extremely important position, and if Yellowknife can land an active prospect there at this point in the draft it'll be a major win for their secondary.

96. New Orleans Second Line - WR Tan Johnson
The Second Line takes another project in the 8th round with Tan Johnson. Johnson seems to have sporadic activity, but similar to Hamilton 3 picks earlier if they are able to lure him back into the league with their highly active locker room they'll have a quality earner on their hands and another offensive weapon to add to their thin group of receivers.
