Back in S47 or something, I enlisted a bunch of people to do an All-ISFL Redraft. It’s S51 now and I basically made no progress on actually writing the article. I started a few times, ended a few times, and with a 2.5x and to END THE MEME, I’ve got something about this. I’ve also got a couple other pieces ready to go and coming out before the end of the 2.5x hopefully. This isn't actually too good an article, it's hastily written and 0 edited.
The All-ISFL Redraft was an exercise in three parts:
1. Draft the whole league as a team
2. Create a DC for your team
3. I grade your roster in terms of sim performance, user “quality”, and future outlook
Now, I hit some major roadblocks when I tried to do this trading and drafting thing, it was honestly horrible having to work with the sim so I think I’ll just skip that part and we’re just going to go through people’s rosters and drafts and then talk about it, it’ll fun and great. The draft was 24 rounds long and not everyone went through every round, the salary cap was in effect and some teams ran outta money.
In terms of our drafters, we have 14 freaking teams, so many people helped out, and they really should get all the money for this but I’m going to take it all.
This re-draft is obviously super out of date. There are S36 players in the file still, but hopefully it’s a fun enough read for everyone!
As a note, these are the first players per each position group that were taken:
QB: 1.02 - CeeKay - S42 QB Octavion Speedings - 1208 TPE
RB: 1.01 - ValorX77 - S40 RB1 Nakiri Ayame - 1278 TPE
WR: 2.07 - CROney3 - S41 WR1 Benji Aguilera - 1476 TPE
TE: 6.04 - WALDO - S42 TE Bread Bowl - 1131 TPE
OL: 5.11 - yosh - S41 OL1 Beeg Beeg Yoshi, Jr. - 862 TPE
DL: 5.09 - toofpete - S41 DL1 Bruce White - 1353 TPE
LB: 1.09 - lemonoppy - S43 LB1 Thomas Sutha - 1069 TPE
CB: 2.03 - baz1757 - S41 CB1 Ezra Azazel - 1456 TPE
S: 4.02 - McGriddy10 - S43 S1 Mega Tron - 821 TPE
KP: 9.13 - lock180 - S44 KP Zenzeroni Xystarch II - 869 TPE
Our GMs and their teams!

The first and second rounds of this mock are always the most interesting, so let's go through those individually before we just go into people’s rosters, and this is easy because I already had this part written up:
1.01 .laser: ValorX77 - RB Nakiri Ayame - 1278 TPE / S40
I was excited to see who an experienced user would take at 1.01, I thought that we’d definitely see a GM type player, we’re looking for an active user who’s going to contribute as part of your team and also be guaranteed to earn. Someone like Darkness (assuming Preston Beatz wasn’t too old), maybe Bowl0 with Lloyd Bannings, or Ultimatedestroye with Kyle Crane would be up top, valuable users with valuable players.
Laser instead opts to take the reigning MVP, Nakiri Ayame (ValorX77), looking for a high volume RB1 to carry their team. Ayame is one of the top backs in the league, but I don’t know if they’re my choice here. There are four other maxed out backs that are younger: Kyle Crane (S41), Reginald Shrubbery (S42), Stetson David (S42), Ace Anderson (S42), and not yet maxed out Anakin Skywalker (S43).
I think you do need to take a top player here in the QB or RB positions and Ayame is a good one, just maybe not the best one.
1.02 CeeKay: Ceekay - QB Octavion Speedings - 1208 TPE / S42
Obama giving Obama a medal meme. CeeKay takes himself with the second overall pick! Fourth on the QB list, a couple seasons away from regression and this is a great pick. Grabbing Speedings locks down the most important position in the game for seasons to come. If I’m nitpicking here, I’m taking Opera_Phantom’s Jay Cue III instead. Cue III is a season younger but only 64 TPE behind, and while I like CeeKay, Opera Phantom is him.
1.03 Zayn: Opera_Phantom - QB Jay Cue III - 1144 TPE / S43
And there we go, Zayn (pronounced Z-A-N) takes Opera_Phantom with the third overall pick! Zayn nails the pick here with a layup. For all the reasons listed above, we’ve got a 10/10. Cue III is already an Ultimus winner and will helm the Guadalajara Ganadores for another 5 seasons, maybe 6.
1.04 Tmoney6996: shrub02 - RB - Reginald Shrubbery - 1279 TPE / S42
I’m worried that the first round will just be QBs and RBs at this rate! And it makes sense, they’re the top players in the ISFL, and especially at QB it’s slim pickings, and even more so if we account for archetype. I love the Shrubbery pick, we’ve got a strong young max RB and there are no concerns with Shrub. I’m surprised at the lack of picks based on WR activity and league jobs, but with such positional scarcity at these two spots, sometimes you just need to get the top players.
1.05 WalterYensid: Ultimatedestroye - RB Kyle Crane - 1367 TPE / S41
Walter takes the top TPE RB in the league next! Honestly, I was pretty worried about Walter’s picks, not that they’re bad or dumb, but Walter likes doing fun stuff in these mock games, as evidenced by him in the amk Draft Cabal. UltimateDestroye is a GM for TIJ, one of the most dominant teams that I can remember, and a candidate for 1OA for me. Pretty slam dunk pick here and Crane will hopefully lead the Shibuya Reapers to the playoffs, like the New Orleans Secondline this season.
1.06 Zeagle: ZootTX - QB Maximus Boudreaux - 1089 TPE / S43
Zeagle opts to go younger QB here, with Josh Patterson (S42), Wolfie McDummy Jr (S41), and Lloyd Bannings (S41) still on the board here, that extra year of play counting more than that extra ~150 TPE. I can respect this pick, I think who you choose is based on what you think they add for you in the war room or as part of the leadership for this hypothetical team, if you sim test or something else.
1.07 Frostbite: Tylertokesome04 - QB Josh Patterson - 1294 TPE / S42
I also take Josh Patterson here, I’m worried about not getting a QB if I hope for it on the way back, and there are two more that I would like to take as a franchise cornerstone here. Patterson hasn’t done as well as his gaudy DSFL days but I believe in the Frost led team, he’s got some Ultimus wins as a GM for a reason.
1.08 Cycro: oilmandan - RB Stetson David - 1264 TPE / S42
The QB and RB train keeps on rolling! Stetson David is poised to have a big season, if not for the fact that Honolulu is heading into a big tank as he starts the max seasons of his career. I’m a bit worried for the teams at the end of the order, 14 is a lot of teams and picking so late is going to be very difficult as all the top QBs and RBs get snapped up.
1.09 Croney3: lemonoppy - LB Thomas Sutha - 1069 TPE / S43
Wowza it’s me! The first non-RB/QB off the board! I didn’t expect to go so high, but I’ll take it! Croney got clowned on a bit for the pick but he replied with “I'll take the reigning MDM who is gonna rebuild the entire site, all day every day. You want 24/7 support on the best sheets ever made? Get yourself a lemonoppy”. I think that this isn’t a bad pick from the team’s user and future building, but from the sim perspective, could be a bit of a risk!
1.10 Sconnie: Thor - QB Thor Bǫllrsveifla - 956 TPE / S44
And the first of the running QBs gets picked! Thor’s a fantastic user, a top HO member, and carries a ton of the site’s workload. The only thing I don’t like is his archetype, but you gotta get yourself a top QB after the dust has settled, which Sconnie does. I wonder how this will affect his team building and if he prioritizes the OL and running game more, for a true run game monster.
1.11 CrazyTomato: infinitempg - QB Wolfie McDummy Jr. - 1451 TPE / S41
And this is the QB I would have taken instead of Thor! I just hate throwing the ball and infi will say the same and point to his INT numbers, but he keeps recreating at QB! Grabbing the hard working pidgey who’s topping the TPE charts at 11th is a big break, and I’m super excited to see what’ll happen with infi on the Tomato squad. Bowl0 as Lloyd Bannings is left as the long young QB left, and we’ll see where he goes!
1.12 wizard_literal: JKortesi81 - RB Howard Coward - 1271 TPE / S40
Wiz gets the newly inducted Hall of Fame member, Joe Kortesi! Congrats to media head Joe, and congrats to Wiz for the 4th place TPE RB in Coward so late into the game. Wiz should be able to get a QB as well, from this spot after the turn, which sets him up well. Surprised we don’t go for Lloyd Bannings here, but I’m on board.
1.13 Griddy: Crunk - RB Danny Nedelko - 693 TPE / S37
WOWZERS. Griddy goes team first and takes the player most likely to add win % to your squad by taking Crunk. Danny Nedelko is pretty old, he maybe has a season left, but adding Crunk and getting him integrated into your squad is the path towards sim and league success. If this was a multi-season project, having Crunk is 100% the best way to move forward, top user in the league.
1.14 negs: DangWookie - RB Ace Anderson - 1187 TPE / S42
Negs gets the player at the sweet spot age-wise, S42. Wookie is a trusted and loyal member of the Ducks War Room and getting him here is fantastic. Ace Anderson and Anakin Skywalker are the next two RBs on the board, with Dux getting a bit older, and negs is able to snag a surefire RB1 for his squad.
2.01 negs: ComebackZak - RB Frank Dux - 1134 TPE / S39
And then of course negs takes Dux off the board next to go with a truly monster running room. He doesn’t have a QB but doesn’t need one with these two in the backfield. We’ve seen teams go win it all with rookie QBs, assuming you’ve got some great weapons and defense, and it’s not an uncommon fantasy football move.
2.02 Griddy: Zeagle - QB Donovan Winters III - 1128 TPE / S39
Falling out of the top 5 in TPE is fellow GM, Donovan Winters III! Griddy takes proven winner and has that experience in the team locker room with Zeagle and Crunk headlining. Great team user building, and if Griddy can find some power in the run game support and defense, we might see an AZ 2.0 happening with the Massachusetts Nukes.
2.03 wizard_literal: baz1757 - Ezra Azazel - 1456 TPE / S41
NOLA started winning as baz stepped down from GMing, coincidence? I leave that for the reader to decide as wiz takes the consensus #1 DB in the league, especially with Hudz having retired Billy Jor-El, maybe caused by being on a team GM’d by Baz??? Looks like we’re going to see some defensive players at the LB and CB spot starting to get taken, with the QB selectors probably finding their RB of choice in the picks to come.
2.04 CrazyTomato: wizard_literal - LB Dub Redd - 1498 TPE / S41
Tomato takes wizard_literal right after wizard_literal chooses not to take himself, crazy! Luckily in this draft world, we don’t have to account for wiz maybe retiring soon to line his next create with the NYS upswing and can just commend Cramato for taking a very beyond maxed LB here to be the defensive focal point. A little worried that we’ll see no RBs available on the way back to pair with infi’s Wolfie McDummy Jr., but I’m gonna let him cool.
2.05 Sconnie: fireyheart - RB Triceracop - 850 TPE / S44
Sconnie grabs the newly swapped Triceracop to pair with Thor! I think taking Triceracop is a great pick, we’ve got a top, active user and BBB GM who’s really in line to take the league by the horns. TPE wise he’s not the top available, but his longevity and activity as a tester (I think) plus heavy war room activity will be a big boon for the Sconnie Squad.
2.06 Croney: forsucksfake - RB Anakin Skywalker - 1016 TPE / S43
Croney capitalizes on Sconnie passing on FSF’s Anakin Skywalker to get himself a RB who’s about to max out and is on the rise. I’m expecting great things from Anakin with that rejuvenated Baltimore squad, and we’ll see him need to do a lot of work for Croney’s team as well. The Peoria Pigskins don’t have much left for them in the RB department on the way back, but hopefully they can lock in top earners at the other spots to make up for it.
2.07 Cycro: CROney3 - WR Benji Aguilera - 1476 TPE / S41
And again we get another instance of a GM taking the previous GM’s player! Benji was 4 yards behind WR1 last season (and on a Winters team no less), and he’s topping the charts this season as well! The other half of the Tijuana GM duo, taking Benji here is a strong commitment to getting a true WR1, but without a QB to throw to him yet. I’m curious to see what kind of depth chart that Cycro puts up, and what Benji could do with some volume if he gets it.
2.08 Frost: swoosh - CB Dino Nuggets - 1316 TPE / S42
Frost grabs a 1OA player right at the point where they get to run the league. Taking an ISFL GM who’s a graphics savant at a position where you need high TPE is crucial, having swoosh’s Dino Nuggets and a #1 CB is going to be great for that secondary. I’m loving how variable the strategies are starting to get. We’re seeing different spots get plugged, and with who the GMs in this draft consider top users to contribute to the team in the sim and out.
2.09 Zeagle: Pvtpenne - RB Kit Fisto - 750 TPE / S45
I believe this is the youngest player to get drafted so far, and for good reason, FEED FISTO. TRUE FISTERS RISE UP. With a S43 QB and now a S45 RB, it looks to me that the Arizona Outhouses with Zeagle at the helm are going for a younger team that is built to compete for seasons down the line. Maybe Zeagle is planning on some of that sim magic to make up for a lack of TPE at the 1 positions, but I do like everyone he’s picked so far.
2.10 WalterYensid: Number 82 - WR Emile Charles - 1450 TPE / S40
Walter with a great value pick, there are three top WRs in the class TPE wise, Benji Aguilera, Emile Charles, and Nick Williams. Of course, a year behind we have Hank Mardukas who’s also been a fantastic earner. Feels like a bit of a run as people see that we’re not light at the WR1 category, but we’re not super heavy either, this feels similar to the range of top QBs/RBs going in the first. If Walter’s passed on a QB in the first, no need to go for one here either.
2.11 Tmoney: ZodiacEXE - LB Crasher Wake - 1102 TPE / S43
The reigning Defensive Player of the Year and I believe the TPE leader of the class (assuming you take out Opera Phantom who’s a monster TPE wise). Tmoney forgoes some TPE and experience (we’ve got a few max earners in the S41 and S42 classes) in order to secure another fantastic year of earning and regression proofing with Zodiac.
2.12 Zayn: ChickenLips - WR Hank Mardukas - 1277 TPE / S42
And then the undisputed TPE king of the S42 WRs (and drop king too), Zayn takes Lips here! Nick Williams is left as one of the big 4 WRs in the position as Zayn takes the Minnesota Grey Ducks GM to continue his role as on NOLA on the Guadalajara Ganadores. Fantastic positioning for the Lips pick, and goes well with Opera Phantom’s Jay Cue III as well. No RB yet, but we can grab one after the turn, all the top ones seem to have fallen.
2.13 CeeKay: jeffie43 - RB Money Tolliver - 956 TPE / S40
Perhaps seeing the dwindling RB base, CeeKay opts to take a running back to help his team out. Having just met regression, Money Tolliver still has his prime years ahead of him, although the lack of banked TPE is a bit concerning. I think I would have preferred Bertie Mannering-Phipps, a S43 running back or the San Jose Sabercats back in Maple Dogwood but the 300 TPE drop off is huge, and sometimes you just have to grab a second back to grow into the #1 role in this spot.
2.14 .Laser: Sebster - QB Willier Miller - 1030 TPE / S39
Laser grabs an experienced QB and top user in Sebster’s Willier Miller. With sparse QBs on the board, you take one before you’re stuck for another 28 picks without another selection. Laser prefers the 2 years of experience on Miller than the 200 TPE that Lloyd Bannings does, but both of these users are fantastic, and you can’t go wrong. With Ayame on the roster, it might not be as important to get that last bit of TPE.
Wow, words from myself from months ago. So wise! Now, let’s go through each user’s draft to see what we can see from a roster building perspective, and any big hits or misses!
Team 1: .laser
1.01 - ValorX77 - S40 RB1 Nakiri Ayame - 1278 TPE
2.14 - Sebster - S39 QB Willier Miller - 1031 TPE
3.01 - nickWilliams - S41 WR1 Nick Williams - 1403 TPE
4.14 - Purpl3Spartan - S41 CB1 Benjamin Duvernay - 1231 TPE
5.01 - UptownCord - S41 LB1 John Stark VIII - 1425 TPE
6.14 - kenvald - S40 CB2 Jamdrian LeBayers - 1371 TPE
7.01 - BWIII - S41 WR2 Forozka Duanei - 705 TPE
8.14 - sburbine - S42 DL1 Dan Dandrews - 1079 TPE
9.01 - Aneeqs - S39 DL2 MC Hammer - 944 TPE
10.14 - SimmiZ - S39 LB2 Sim Sunigh - 1095 TPE
11.01 - DREAMSLOTH - S36 RB2 Jarvis Harbinger-Marjin - 495 TPE
12.14 - Pib - S40 S1 Notso Smart - 883 TPE
13.01 - hemhem - S43 TE La’Fluke Paris-Johnson - 513 TPE
14.14 - Trempale - S39 S2 Antoine Winfield Jr. - 567 TPE
15.01 - Beta - S40 DL1 Iosefa Fuamatu-Ma’afala - 489 TPE
16.14 - HalfEatenOnionBagel - S44 WR3 A Waffle - 517 TPE
17.01 - allbetsonjames - S43 LB3 Iman Outlaw - 659 TPE
18.14 - ThreeToeSloth - S40 DL3 Ryan Lawrence - 460 TPE
19.01 - LIL MUNKEY - S43 CB3 C.G Breezy Jr. - 459 TPE
20.14 - Rydychyn - S46 KP Wynn Jenkins - 477 TPE
21.01 - LeatherneckMike - S41 OL1 Saveour Piethons - 326 TPE
22.14 - Attopax - S40 OL2 Melvin Harris - 228 TPE
23.01 - Gordon Bombay - S46 LB4 Léopold Roy - 375 TPE
The Laser Approach was to get that top tier talent to compete, and he did a great job stocking up at the big offensive positions and getting key stars for the defense. Making use of the ability to buy OL bots, this team looks good, looks strong in the sim and will compete for a few championships but I’m worried about their future outlook and level of LR activity.
Team 2 - CeeKay
1.02 - CeeKay - S42 QB Octavion Speedings - 1208 TPE
2.13 - jeffie43 - S40 RB1 Money Tolliver - 956 TPE
3.02 - woelkers - S45 RB2 Hercules Henry - 664 TPE
4.13 - Jumbo - S41 S1 Loose Cannon - 1519 TPE
5.02 - Weaves - S41 CB1 Kadarius Claypool II - 1366 TPE
6.13 - r0tzbua - S45 WR1 Pitter Patter - 623 TPE
7.02 - amjohnson636 - S46 WR2 Chopper Donquixote - 520 TPE
8.13 - fnordypsyduck - S39 LB1 Waylen Greene - 1108 TPE
9.02 - AJay887 - S44 CB2 Gajeel Redfox - 853 TPE
10.13 - speculadora - S40 TE Detective Crashmore - 836 TPE
11.02 - Charple - S45 S2 Chappy McChapperson - 707 TPE
12.13 - ProdigalSon - S45 LB2 Ali Star - 633 TPE
13.02 - TubbyTim69 - S42 DL2 Marco Steele - 703 TPE
14.13 - Eldorian - S38 DL1 GOAT TANNK - 799 TPE
15.02 - Matty86 - S40 LB3 Mathias Mayhem - 693 TPE
16.13 - IsaStarcrossed - S39 WR3 NCADV RAINN - 640 TPE
17.02 - DarknessRising - S37 Flex1 Preston Beatz - 686 TPE
18.13 - pauadrian - S40 S3 Tyler One - 560 TPE
19.02 - Void_DCXI - S39 LB4 Donte Darius - 648 TPE
20.13 - Lowkey - S39 OL1 Johnson Lovehammer - 339 TPE
21.02 - Pfluginator5 - S41 DL3 Frederick Carlson - 459 TPE
22.13 - Agent Chaos - S47 Flex2 Upceti Spaghetti - 301 TPE
23.02 - Yeenoghu - S35 KP Swantavius King - 331 TPE
24.13 - Muddym13 - S48 DL4 Rex Havoc - 161 TPE
Love seeing someone take themselves at the top of the draft, value be damned. Ceekay built a great roster of seasoned vets as well as fantastic new talent. Especially with hits like Woelkers/AJ/ProdigalSon and an absolute home run in the last round Muddym13, this CK team looks ready to rock now and in the future. CeeKay also took Darkness to take some QB spot hostage, but we all saw what late stage Beatz looked like.
Team 3 - Zayn
1.03 - Opera_Phantom - S43 QB Jay Cue III - 1144 TPE
2.12 - Chicken Lips - S42 WR1 Hank Mardukas - 1277 TPE
3.03 - bernardhibou - S43 RB1 Bertie Mannering-Phipps - 904 TPE
4.12 - LtHudz - S41 CB1 Billy Jor-El - 1410 TPE
5.03 - FootballIsCool - S43 CB2 Spruce Willis - 1052 TPE

7.03 - MobiausGrander - S43 LB1 Allister Adebam - 1075 TPE
8.12 - Mossed26 - S42 LB2 Mike Gesicki - 1016 TPE

10.12 - Hordle - S41 DL1 Damarcus Cole - 750 TPE

14.12 - Water - S43 DL2 Sack Sparrow - 607 TPE
15.03 - Drizzy - S46 CB3 Devin Jones - 566 TPE
16.12 - okestboomer - S44 DL3 Ronald McDonald - 483 TPE
17.03 - JMoney762 - S39 WR2 Jay Money - 624 TPE
18.12 - DeadlyPlayer - S43 S2 Tha Thu Craicte - 523 TPE
19.03 - 124715 - S39 LB3 Mario Moloka’i - 633 TPE
20.12 - ToastCharger - S41 OL3 Burnt Toast - 350 TPE
21.03 - Menace0528 - S44 KP Pete Moss - 346 TPE
22.12 - Seymour - S47 LB4 Bean Beanman III - 332 TPE
23.03 - rbro18 - S39 WR3 Branden Rojas - 399 TPE
Zayn’s approach was another balanced one, mixing in ascending stars with veterans to contribute TPE during the season. This was S47, pre-regression for the S41 class and so we’re going to see a huge amount of TPE gain and dominance for a long time with this roster. I think the Zayn mid-rounds were basically only hits, and you’ve got a lot of active ISFL vets that would make this a great team to be a part of.
Team 4 - Tmoney
1.04 - shrub02 - S42 RB1 Reginald Shrubbery - 1279 TPE

22.11 - ajtigger - S38 KP Booter McGavin - 622 TPE
23.04 - NUCK - S47 RB3 Will Nuck - 332 TPE
Tmoney has one of my favourite drafts. I see active, engaged users who follow the league and contribute heavily towards the media. I think we’ve got a general meh draft in the later teens, but that’s to be expected, it’s a shame that many of those didn’t hit, but we do get the controversial JJ down there and Ben is a king so it’s not all flubs. A team built of steady anchors and quality at all the important positions.

Zeagle built his team around the Fisto/Fig Newton combo of up and coming RBs. Relying on a big defense with big earners everywhere to hold the opponents back while the Fisto/OJ/Newton/de la Rosa stack grew into TPE to start coming up big. I liked a lot of the picks here, there’s a ton of names that everyone will know and who are strong contributors back then and still are now.

Frost draft good lmap. I think this might be my favourite draft out of all of them. We’ve got active vets and fun locker room and discord presences as well as snagging future stars. Frost was really able to maximize each draft spot and fill out a team that his super high in TPE as well as building pipelines for replacements for positions of importance.

Cycro with a strong roster, although a lot of older players and some mid-earning/early retires does make this roster look a bit worse than it felt when they were drafted. The quality of user in this draft is super high and so is the activity, but the players themselves doesn’t lend itself to the best on-field product in a season or two.

Croney with the HUGE lemonoppy in the first round. I think the top Croney picks are fantastic, a bit lacking in WR talent but we’ve all seen how Benji Aguilera has had to deal with wINTers so that’s not a surprise there. Croney foregoes the WR and QB spots early in order to build a massive defensive wall and puts the pressure on FSF to deliver, and that’s an MVP winner so he’s got something right. Grzegorz Winnicki and Seer Ial have come along in a big way so we’ve got the future being built up as well. Also, the Rake/Toof combo is crazy.

Sconnie’s draft I loved from getting so many of the most engaged league users in the league, we’ve got a lot of GMs or GM type of players in this squad, and especially that run from Daniel, Kya, BRNX, AMK, Papalinator, Cody, and HonoredMexican goes really hard. I think that there was some false gold at the top with users that may be a bit checked out but with the late hits, this roster scales really well into the future.

Tomato took a pretty scattershot approach positionally, but one thing he did super well was grab GMs and very engaged users with loads of jobs. This draft, like Griddy’s, is a bit iffy on how well the team will do in the current season but is built to win forever. I don’t love some of the mis-evaluation of team building and positional value, but you can’t disagree with the users selected.

With enough talent to play now, the wiz team is strong in all phases, I couldn’t really believe how much TPE he was able to gather with drafting at the back and how well set up the team is for now and later.

Griddy took the user approach to this draft, grabbing actives, experienced War Room members and building a team that could have helped him go towards dynasty material. Taking a 10 season old Crunk is bold but I love it, ask him to be your co-GM and your team is ready. The positional value we’ve got here is a bit questionable, but if they hit, we’ve got some good talent. There was a lot of focus on newer users that worked out really well, and if Crunk is helping you sim and build, you’re the team of the future.

Negs had a hard path, drafting at the back of this 14 man. I did love the plan he had to just trot out ol’ Adrian St. Christmas and run the ball with Ace Anderson and Frank Dux. I’m a bit worried with having such a low TPE QB but with a strong OL, Defense, and skill positions, this team should be able to compete as long as there’s a mystery FA QB for them next season as well.
Alright, this mock-redraft is finally out. How do you feel about the teams selected and built? How do you feel about where you went in the draft? Sorry that it took so long and that I ended up with such a scuffed article
The All-ISFL Redraft was an exercise in three parts:
1. Draft the whole league as a team
2. Create a DC for your team
3. I grade your roster in terms of sim performance, user “quality”, and future outlook
Now, I hit some major roadblocks when I tried to do this trading and drafting thing, it was honestly horrible having to work with the sim so I think I’ll just skip that part and we’re just going to go through people’s rosters and drafts and then talk about it, it’ll fun and great. The draft was 24 rounds long and not everyone went through every round, the salary cap was in effect and some teams ran outta money.
In terms of our drafters, we have 14 freaking teams, so many people helped out, and they really should get all the money for this but I’m going to take it all.
This re-draft is obviously super out of date. There are S36 players in the file still, but hopefully it’s a fun enough read for everyone!
As a note, these are the first players per each position group that were taken:
QB: 1.02 - CeeKay - S42 QB Octavion Speedings - 1208 TPE
RB: 1.01 - ValorX77 - S40 RB1 Nakiri Ayame - 1278 TPE

ISFL Mock First and Second Rounds
The first and second rounds of this mock are always the most interesting, so let's go through those individually before we just go into people’s rosters, and this is easy because I already had this part written up:
Round 1
1.01 .laser: ValorX77 - RB Nakiri Ayame - 1278 TPE / S40
I was excited to see who an experienced user would take at 1.01, I thought that we’d definitely see a GM type player, we’re looking for an active user who’s going to contribute as part of your team and also be guaranteed to earn. Someone like Darkness (assuming Preston Beatz wasn’t too old), maybe Bowl0 with Lloyd Bannings, or Ultimatedestroye with Kyle Crane would be up top, valuable users with valuable players.
Laser instead opts to take the reigning MVP, Nakiri Ayame (ValorX77), looking for a high volume RB1 to carry their team. Ayame is one of the top backs in the league, but I don’t know if they’re my choice here. There are four other maxed out backs that are younger: Kyle Crane (S41), Reginald Shrubbery (S42), Stetson David (S42), Ace Anderson (S42), and not yet maxed out Anakin Skywalker (S43).
I think you do need to take a top player here in the QB or RB positions and Ayame is a good one, just maybe not the best one.
1.02 CeeKay: Ceekay - QB Octavion Speedings - 1208 TPE / S42
Obama giving Obama a medal meme. CeeKay takes himself with the second overall pick! Fourth on the QB list, a couple seasons away from regression and this is a great pick. Grabbing Speedings locks down the most important position in the game for seasons to come. If I’m nitpicking here, I’m taking Opera_Phantom’s Jay Cue III instead. Cue III is a season younger but only 64 TPE behind, and while I like CeeKay, Opera Phantom is him.
1.03 Zayn: Opera_Phantom - QB Jay Cue III - 1144 TPE / S43
And there we go, Zayn (pronounced Z-A-N) takes Opera_Phantom with the third overall pick! Zayn nails the pick here with a layup. For all the reasons listed above, we’ve got a 10/10. Cue III is already an Ultimus winner and will helm the Guadalajara Ganadores for another 5 seasons, maybe 6.
1.04 Tmoney6996: shrub02 - RB - Reginald Shrubbery - 1279 TPE / S42
I’m worried that the first round will just be QBs and RBs at this rate! And it makes sense, they’re the top players in the ISFL, and especially at QB it’s slim pickings, and even more so if we account for archetype. I love the Shrubbery pick, we’ve got a strong young max RB and there are no concerns with Shrub. I’m surprised at the lack of picks based on WR activity and league jobs, but with such positional scarcity at these two spots, sometimes you just need to get the top players.
1.05 WalterYensid: Ultimatedestroye - RB Kyle Crane - 1367 TPE / S41
Walter takes the top TPE RB in the league next! Honestly, I was pretty worried about Walter’s picks, not that they’re bad or dumb, but Walter likes doing fun stuff in these mock games, as evidenced by him in the amk Draft Cabal. UltimateDestroye is a GM for TIJ, one of the most dominant teams that I can remember, and a candidate for 1OA for me. Pretty slam dunk pick here and Crane will hopefully lead the Shibuya Reapers to the playoffs, like the New Orleans Secondline this season.
1.06 Zeagle: ZootTX - QB Maximus Boudreaux - 1089 TPE / S43
Zeagle opts to go younger QB here, with Josh Patterson (S42), Wolfie McDummy Jr (S41), and Lloyd Bannings (S41) still on the board here, that extra year of play counting more than that extra ~150 TPE. I can respect this pick, I think who you choose is based on what you think they add for you in the war room or as part of the leadership for this hypothetical team, if you sim test or something else.
1.07 Frostbite: Tylertokesome04 - QB Josh Patterson - 1294 TPE / S42
I also take Josh Patterson here, I’m worried about not getting a QB if I hope for it on the way back, and there are two more that I would like to take as a franchise cornerstone here. Patterson hasn’t done as well as his gaudy DSFL days but I believe in the Frost led team, he’s got some Ultimus wins as a GM for a reason.
1.08 Cycro: oilmandan - RB Stetson David - 1264 TPE / S42
The QB and RB train keeps on rolling! Stetson David is poised to have a big season, if not for the fact that Honolulu is heading into a big tank as he starts the max seasons of his career. I’m a bit worried for the teams at the end of the order, 14 is a lot of teams and picking so late is going to be very difficult as all the top QBs and RBs get snapped up.
1.09 Croney3: lemonoppy - LB Thomas Sutha - 1069 TPE / S43
Wowza it’s me! The first non-RB/QB off the board! I didn’t expect to go so high, but I’ll take it! Croney got clowned on a bit for the pick but he replied with “I'll take the reigning MDM who is gonna rebuild the entire site, all day every day. You want 24/7 support on the best sheets ever made? Get yourself a lemonoppy”. I think that this isn’t a bad pick from the team’s user and future building, but from the sim perspective, could be a bit of a risk!
1.10 Sconnie: Thor - QB Thor Bǫllrsveifla - 956 TPE / S44
And the first of the running QBs gets picked! Thor’s a fantastic user, a top HO member, and carries a ton of the site’s workload. The only thing I don’t like is his archetype, but you gotta get yourself a top QB after the dust has settled, which Sconnie does. I wonder how this will affect his team building and if he prioritizes the OL and running game more, for a true run game monster.
1.11 CrazyTomato: infinitempg - QB Wolfie McDummy Jr. - 1451 TPE / S41
And this is the QB I would have taken instead of Thor! I just hate throwing the ball and infi will say the same and point to his INT numbers, but he keeps recreating at QB! Grabbing the hard working pidgey who’s topping the TPE charts at 11th is a big break, and I’m super excited to see what’ll happen with infi on the Tomato squad. Bowl0 as Lloyd Bannings is left as the long young QB left, and we’ll see where he goes!
1.12 wizard_literal: JKortesi81 - RB Howard Coward - 1271 TPE / S40
Wiz gets the newly inducted Hall of Fame member, Joe Kortesi! Congrats to media head Joe, and congrats to Wiz for the 4th place TPE RB in Coward so late into the game. Wiz should be able to get a QB as well, from this spot after the turn, which sets him up well. Surprised we don’t go for Lloyd Bannings here, but I’m on board.
1.13 Griddy: Crunk - RB Danny Nedelko - 693 TPE / S37
WOWZERS. Griddy goes team first and takes the player most likely to add win % to your squad by taking Crunk. Danny Nedelko is pretty old, he maybe has a season left, but adding Crunk and getting him integrated into your squad is the path towards sim and league success. If this was a multi-season project, having Crunk is 100% the best way to move forward, top user in the league.
1.14 negs: DangWookie - RB Ace Anderson - 1187 TPE / S42
Negs gets the player at the sweet spot age-wise, S42. Wookie is a trusted and loyal member of the Ducks War Room and getting him here is fantastic. Ace Anderson and Anakin Skywalker are the next two RBs on the board, with Dux getting a bit older, and negs is able to snag a surefire RB1 for his squad.
Round 2
2.01 negs: ComebackZak - RB Frank Dux - 1134 TPE / S39
And then of course negs takes Dux off the board next to go with a truly monster running room. He doesn’t have a QB but doesn’t need one with these two in the backfield. We’ve seen teams go win it all with rookie QBs, assuming you’ve got some great weapons and defense, and it’s not an uncommon fantasy football move.
2.02 Griddy: Zeagle - QB Donovan Winters III - 1128 TPE / S39
Falling out of the top 5 in TPE is fellow GM, Donovan Winters III! Griddy takes proven winner and has that experience in the team locker room with Zeagle and Crunk headlining. Great team user building, and if Griddy can find some power in the run game support and defense, we might see an AZ 2.0 happening with the Massachusetts Nukes.
2.03 wizard_literal: baz1757 - Ezra Azazel - 1456 TPE / S41
NOLA started winning as baz stepped down from GMing, coincidence? I leave that for the reader to decide as wiz takes the consensus #1 DB in the league, especially with Hudz having retired Billy Jor-El, maybe caused by being on a team GM’d by Baz??? Looks like we’re going to see some defensive players at the LB and CB spot starting to get taken, with the QB selectors probably finding their RB of choice in the picks to come.
2.04 CrazyTomato: wizard_literal - LB Dub Redd - 1498 TPE / S41
Tomato takes wizard_literal right after wizard_literal chooses not to take himself, crazy! Luckily in this draft world, we don’t have to account for wiz maybe retiring soon to line his next create with the NYS upswing and can just commend Cramato for taking a very beyond maxed LB here to be the defensive focal point. A little worried that we’ll see no RBs available on the way back to pair with infi’s Wolfie McDummy Jr., but I’m gonna let him cool.
2.05 Sconnie: fireyheart - RB Triceracop - 850 TPE / S44
Sconnie grabs the newly swapped Triceracop to pair with Thor! I think taking Triceracop is a great pick, we’ve got a top, active user and BBB GM who’s really in line to take the league by the horns. TPE wise he’s not the top available, but his longevity and activity as a tester (I think) plus heavy war room activity will be a big boon for the Sconnie Squad.
2.06 Croney: forsucksfake - RB Anakin Skywalker - 1016 TPE / S43
Croney capitalizes on Sconnie passing on FSF’s Anakin Skywalker to get himself a RB who’s about to max out and is on the rise. I’m expecting great things from Anakin with that rejuvenated Baltimore squad, and we’ll see him need to do a lot of work for Croney’s team as well. The Peoria Pigskins don’t have much left for them in the RB department on the way back, but hopefully they can lock in top earners at the other spots to make up for it.
2.07 Cycro: CROney3 - WR Benji Aguilera - 1476 TPE / S41
And again we get another instance of a GM taking the previous GM’s player! Benji was 4 yards behind WR1 last season (and on a Winters team no less), and he’s topping the charts this season as well! The other half of the Tijuana GM duo, taking Benji here is a strong commitment to getting a true WR1, but without a QB to throw to him yet. I’m curious to see what kind of depth chart that Cycro puts up, and what Benji could do with some volume if he gets it.
2.08 Frost: swoosh - CB Dino Nuggets - 1316 TPE / S42
Frost grabs a 1OA player right at the point where they get to run the league. Taking an ISFL GM who’s a graphics savant at a position where you need high TPE is crucial, having swoosh’s Dino Nuggets and a #1 CB is going to be great for that secondary. I’m loving how variable the strategies are starting to get. We’re seeing different spots get plugged, and with who the GMs in this draft consider top users to contribute to the team in the sim and out.
2.09 Zeagle: Pvtpenne - RB Kit Fisto - 750 TPE / S45
I believe this is the youngest player to get drafted so far, and for good reason, FEED FISTO. TRUE FISTERS RISE UP. With a S43 QB and now a S45 RB, it looks to me that the Arizona Outhouses with Zeagle at the helm are going for a younger team that is built to compete for seasons down the line. Maybe Zeagle is planning on some of that sim magic to make up for a lack of TPE at the 1 positions, but I do like everyone he’s picked so far.
2.10 WalterYensid: Number 82 - WR Emile Charles - 1450 TPE / S40
Walter with a great value pick, there are three top WRs in the class TPE wise, Benji Aguilera, Emile Charles, and Nick Williams. Of course, a year behind we have Hank Mardukas who’s also been a fantastic earner. Feels like a bit of a run as people see that we’re not light at the WR1 category, but we’re not super heavy either, this feels similar to the range of top QBs/RBs going in the first. If Walter’s passed on a QB in the first, no need to go for one here either.
2.11 Tmoney: ZodiacEXE - LB Crasher Wake - 1102 TPE / S43
The reigning Defensive Player of the Year and I believe the TPE leader of the class (assuming you take out Opera Phantom who’s a monster TPE wise). Tmoney forgoes some TPE and experience (we’ve got a few max earners in the S41 and S42 classes) in order to secure another fantastic year of earning and regression proofing with Zodiac.
2.12 Zayn: ChickenLips - WR Hank Mardukas - 1277 TPE / S42
And then the undisputed TPE king of the S42 WRs (and drop king too), Zayn takes Lips here! Nick Williams is left as one of the big 4 WRs in the position as Zayn takes the Minnesota Grey Ducks GM to continue his role as on NOLA on the Guadalajara Ganadores. Fantastic positioning for the Lips pick, and goes well with Opera Phantom’s Jay Cue III as well. No RB yet, but we can grab one after the turn, all the top ones seem to have fallen.
2.13 CeeKay: jeffie43 - RB Money Tolliver - 956 TPE / S40
Perhaps seeing the dwindling RB base, CeeKay opts to take a running back to help his team out. Having just met regression, Money Tolliver still has his prime years ahead of him, although the lack of banked TPE is a bit concerning. I think I would have preferred Bertie Mannering-Phipps, a S43 running back or the San Jose Sabercats back in Maple Dogwood but the 300 TPE drop off is huge, and sometimes you just have to grab a second back to grow into the #1 role in this spot.
2.14 .Laser: Sebster - QB Willier Miller - 1030 TPE / S39
Laser grabs an experienced QB and top user in Sebster’s Willier Miller. With sparse QBs on the board, you take one before you’re stuck for another 28 picks without another selection. Laser prefers the 2 years of experience on Miller than the 200 TPE that Lloyd Bannings does, but both of these users are fantastic, and you can’t go wrong. With Ayame on the roster, it might not be as important to get that last bit of TPE.
Wow, words from myself from months ago. So wise! Now, let’s go through each user’s draft to see what we can see from a roster building perspective, and any big hits or misses!
Team 1: .laser
1.01 - ValorX77 - S40 RB1 Nakiri Ayame - 1278 TPE
2.14 - Sebster - S39 QB Willier Miller - 1031 TPE
3.01 - nickWilliams - S41 WR1 Nick Williams - 1403 TPE

15.01 - Beta - S40 DL1 Iosefa Fuamatu-Ma’afala - 489 TPE
16.14 - HalfEatenOnionBagel - S44 WR3 A Waffle - 517 TPE
17.01 - allbetsonjames - S43 LB3 Iman Outlaw - 659 TPE
18.14 - ThreeToeSloth - S40 DL3 Ryan Lawrence - 460 TPE
19.01 - LIL MUNKEY - S43 CB3 C.G Breezy Jr. - 459 TPE
20.14 - Rydychyn - S46 KP Wynn Jenkins - 477 TPE
21.01 - LeatherneckMike - S41 OL1 Saveour Piethons - 326 TPE
22.14 - Attopax - S40 OL2 Melvin Harris - 228 TPE
23.01 - Gordon Bombay - S46 LB4 Léopold Roy - 375 TPE
The Laser Approach was to get that top tier talent to compete, and he did a great job stocking up at the big offensive positions and getting key stars for the defense. Making use of the ability to buy OL bots, this team looks good, looks strong in the sim and will compete for a few championships but I’m worried about their future outlook and level of LR activity.
Team 2 - CeeKay
1.02 - CeeKay - S42 QB Octavion Speedings - 1208 TPE
2.13 - jeffie43 - S40 RB1 Money Tolliver - 956 TPE
3.02 - woelkers - S45 RB2 Hercules Henry - 664 TPE

15.02 - Matty86 - S40 LB3 Mathias Mayhem - 693 TPE
16.13 - IsaStarcrossed - S39 WR3 NCADV RAINN - 640 TPE
17.02 - DarknessRising - S37 Flex1 Preston Beatz - 686 TPE
18.13 - pauadrian - S40 S3 Tyler One - 560 TPE
19.02 - Void_DCXI - S39 LB4 Donte Darius - 648 TPE
20.13 - Lowkey - S39 OL1 Johnson Lovehammer - 339 TPE
21.02 - Pfluginator5 - S41 DL3 Frederick Carlson - 459 TPE
22.13 - Agent Chaos - S47 Flex2 Upceti Spaghetti - 301 TPE
23.02 - Yeenoghu - S35 KP Swantavius King - 331 TPE
24.13 - Muddym13 - S48 DL4 Rex Havoc - 161 TPE
Love seeing someone take themselves at the top of the draft, value be damned. Ceekay built a great roster of seasoned vets as well as fantastic new talent. Especially with hits like Woelkers/AJ/ProdigalSon and an absolute home run in the last round Muddym13, this CK team looks ready to rock now and in the future. CeeKay also took Darkness to take some QB spot hostage, but we all saw what late stage Beatz looked like.
Team 3 - Zayn
1.03 - Opera_Phantom - S43 QB Jay Cue III - 1144 TPE
2.12 - Chicken Lips - S42 WR1 Hank Mardukas - 1277 TPE
3.03 - bernardhibou - S43 RB1 Bertie Mannering-Phipps - 904 TPE
4.12 - LtHudz - S41 CB1 Billy Jor-El - 1410 TPE
5.03 - FootballIsCool - S43 CB2 Spruce Willis - 1052 TPE

14.12 - Water - S43 DL2 Sack Sparrow - 607 TPE
15.03 - Drizzy - S46 CB3 Devin Jones - 566 TPE
16.12 - okestboomer - S44 DL3 Ronald McDonald - 483 TPE
17.03 - JMoney762 - S39 WR2 Jay Money - 624 TPE
18.12 - DeadlyPlayer - S43 S2 Tha Thu Craicte - 523 TPE
19.03 - 124715 - S39 LB3 Mario Moloka’i - 633 TPE
20.12 - ToastCharger - S41 OL3 Burnt Toast - 350 TPE
21.03 - Menace0528 - S44 KP Pete Moss - 346 TPE
22.12 - Seymour - S47 LB4 Bean Beanman III - 332 TPE
23.03 - rbro18 - S39 WR3 Branden Rojas - 399 TPE
Zayn’s approach was another balanced one, mixing in ascending stars with veterans to contribute TPE during the season. This was S47, pre-regression for the S41 class and so we’re going to see a huge amount of TPE gain and dominance for a long time with this roster. I think the Zayn mid-rounds were basically only hits, and you’ve got a lot of active ISFL vets that would make this a great team to be a part of.
Team 4 - Tmoney
1.04 - shrub02 - S42 RB1 Reginald Shrubbery - 1279 TPE

22.11 - ajtigger - S38 KP Booter McGavin - 622 TPE
23.04 - NUCK - S47 RB3 Will Nuck - 332 TPE
Tmoney has one of my favourite drafts. I see active, engaged users who follow the league and contribute heavily towards the media. I think we’ve got a general meh draft in the later teens, but that’s to be expected, it’s a shame that many of those didn’t hit, but we do get the controversial JJ down there and Ben is a king so it’s not all flubs. A team built of steady anchors and quality at all the important positions.

Zeagle built his team around the Fisto/Fig Newton combo of up and coming RBs. Relying on a big defense with big earners everywhere to hold the opponents back while the Fisto/OJ/Newton/de la Rosa stack grew into TPE to start coming up big. I liked a lot of the picks here, there’s a ton of names that everyone will know and who are strong contributors back then and still are now.

Frost draft good lmap. I think this might be my favourite draft out of all of them. We’ve got active vets and fun locker room and discord presences as well as snagging future stars. Frost was really able to maximize each draft spot and fill out a team that his super high in TPE as well as building pipelines for replacements for positions of importance.

Cycro with a strong roster, although a lot of older players and some mid-earning/early retires does make this roster look a bit worse than it felt when they were drafted. The quality of user in this draft is super high and so is the activity, but the players themselves doesn’t lend itself to the best on-field product in a season or two.

Croney with the HUGE lemonoppy in the first round. I think the top Croney picks are fantastic, a bit lacking in WR talent but we’ve all seen how Benji Aguilera has had to deal with wINTers so that’s not a surprise there. Croney foregoes the WR and QB spots early in order to build a massive defensive wall and puts the pressure on FSF to deliver, and that’s an MVP winner so he’s got something right. Grzegorz Winnicki and Seer Ial have come along in a big way so we’ve got the future being built up as well. Also, the Rake/Toof combo is crazy.

Sconnie’s draft I loved from getting so many of the most engaged league users in the league, we’ve got a lot of GMs or GM type of players in this squad, and especially that run from Daniel, Kya, BRNX, AMK, Papalinator, Cody, and HonoredMexican goes really hard. I think that there was some false gold at the top with users that may be a bit checked out but with the late hits, this roster scales really well into the future.

Tomato took a pretty scattershot approach positionally, but one thing he did super well was grab GMs and very engaged users with loads of jobs. This draft, like Griddy’s, is a bit iffy on how well the team will do in the current season but is built to win forever. I don’t love some of the mis-evaluation of team building and positional value, but you can’t disagree with the users selected.

The orb-pondering Wizard Literal had a truly fantastic back half of the draft, grabbing users who were sure prospects and easy first rounders. With enough talent to play now, the wiz team is strong in all phases, I couldn’t really believe how much TPE he was able to gather with drafting at the back and how well set up the team is for now and later.

Griddy took the user approach to this draft, grabbing actives, experienced War Room members and building a team that could have helped him go towards dynasty material. Taking a 10 season old Crunk is bold but I love it, ask him to be your co-GM and your team is ready. The positional value we’ve got here is a bit questionable, but if they hit, we’ve got some good talent. There was a lot of focus on newer users that worked out really well, and if Crunk is helping you sim and build, you’re the team of the future.

Negs had a hard path, drafting at the back of this 14 man. I did love the plan he had to just trot out ol’ Adrian St. Christmas and run the ball with Ace Anderson and Frank Dux. I’m a bit worried with having such a low TPE QB but with a strong OL, Defense, and skill positions, this team should be able to compete as long as there’s a mystery FA QB for them next season as well.
Alright, this mock-redraft is finally out. How do you feel about the teams selected and built? How do you feel about where you went in the draft? Sorry that it took so long and that I ended up with such a scuffed article
