Some great thoughts. I agree that the S3 draft should go as normal, with the DSFL draft taking place maybe one week later. That gives each team time to cut players. Ideally, I see the DSFL season as being shorter than the NSFL one, with no preseason. This will allow the DSFL draft to begin AFTER the NSFL one, and for the season to be done in plenty of time for the next season's NSFL draft.
I don't think that a TPE max OR 4 year max are necessary. If a player has value to the pro teams, he will be called up. If he doesn't, he won't. NFL Europe, AFL, and CFL don't have maximums, and this isn't supposed to be college.
I don't believe NSFL teams should be able to freely call up or send down players. This would be a nightmare for cap management as well as for GMs. Right after the draft, cuts are made. Once those players are released, they are DSFL players for one season. At the end of that season, they are free agents, eligible for NSFL or DSFL. I would be okay with limited call ups, maybe one per team, which would allow some flexibility for pro GMs without being a pain. Also, with all the work DSFL GMs are going to put into planning their strategies, completely losing players every week makes it far more tedious to game plan. That's a bad thing.
I also have concerns about the dispersal draft. Having to redraft an ENTIRE team every season is both ridiculously tiring and allows no practice in drafting to improve a team. This is just more work for the sake of more work. It would not be fun. It would be a five hour draft every month and a half.
I don't think declaring for the draft should be optional. I think every player who enters the league is automatically draft eligible for the following season. If undrafted, then to the DSFL for one season, then the draft takes place again. I don't think an amateur status is necessary.
