Examining the S41 ISFL Draft Class
One of the most highly touted and controversial draft classes in ISFL history has been thoroughly highlighted among our peers. The Season 41 ISFL draft class deserves an updated look to see how players and teams fared in their ISFL journey. This class represents some of the league’s brightest minds and hard-working individuals. On the other hand, it also comes with a sense of chaos and unruliness.
Season 41 Draft by Team
Arizona
1.14 - Benji Aguilera - WR (current TPE: 1121)
2.08 - Logjammed McBobface - DE (retired)
2.14 - Benjamin Duvernay - CB (current TPE: 988)
3.07 - Brian Vincent-Vega - S (current TPE: 738)
3.14 - Beeg Beeg Yoshi Jr. - OL (current TPE: 690)
4.08 - Scruffy the Janitor - DT (current TPE: 455)
6.14 - Cheeky Lad - OL (retired)
Grade: A-
Arizona hit the nail on the head with its first round pick in Benji Aguilera, user CROney3. The Outlaws had a great draft for season 41 and have great contributors all the way down which helped lead them to a season 42 Ultimus. Unfortunately, McBobface retired early due but he did appear to be a great second-round pick at the time. The Outlaws have been compared to the New England Patriots due to their sustained success but it’s clear to see it comes from drafting well.
Austin
1.09 - Oliver Tolliver - WR (current TPE: 987; now on OCO)
4.05 - Ryan Knock - LB (current TPE: 262; now on BAL)
4.09 - LeAnthony LeDavis - WR (retired)
5.09 - Great Khali - OL (current TPE: 643)
6.09 - Albert Einstein - LB (retired)
Grade: D
Although the Copperheads drafted Einstein, this was not a very wise draft for Austin. I will acknowledge that they did not have a second or third round pick but this team’s draft is not one to remember. Luckily, they have a solid 600+ TPE offensive lineman still contributing to the team.
Baltimore
5.02 - Frederick Carlson - DE (current TPE: 459)
5.10 - Bubba Chubb - OL (current TPE: 357)
5.11 - Myrtle Beach Tolliver - LB (retired)
6.02 - Garrett Cheetahman - WR (retired)
7.02 - Luca Rossi - DT (retired)
Grade: F
Also not really fair since they only had picks in rounds 5-7 but Baltimore missed out on one of the greatest draft classes of all time. However, I’m sure they don’t mind since they got an S43 Ultimus win.
Berlin
2.05 - Emile Charles - WR (current TPE: 1100)
3.01 - Burnt Toast - TE (current TPE: 350; now OL)
3.03 - Nick Williams - TE (current TPE: 1040)
3.05 - Lukas Van Ness - DE (banned from league)
4.10 - Forozka Duanei - WR (current TPE: 705; now on OCO)
5.05 - Ivan Baldwin - CB (retired)
5.12 - Pierce Hawthorne - TE (retired)
6.05 - Atlas Kirby - DT (retired)
7.05 - Aleksander Reznikov - LB (retired)
Grade: B
A solid draft by Berlin, especially with Emile Charles and Nick Williams leading the charge for the Fire Salamanders offense. Lukas Van Ness ended up going to NOLA prior to his permaban so Berlin was able to salvage some value there.
Cape Town
1.10 - Legs McMillion - WR (current TPE: 1070; now CB)
2.04 - Rolud Onyxgut - DE (current TPE: 1074)
2.09 - Justin Willis - OL (current TPE: 948)
2.10 - Jason Steele - DT (current TPE: 794)
4.11 - Bob Kickerson - K/P (current TPE: 602)
4.14 - Sticky Hands - RB (current TPE: 777)
5.14 - Bigton Hammer - LB (retired)
6.10 - Donny Doffenshmirtz - TE (retired)
Grade: A
What a solid draft by Cape Town. Six players who are highly valuable and still contributing to Cape Town. You have a very formidable defense with Legs, Rolud, and Steele. And solid players in Sticky Hands, Justin Willis, and Bob Kickerson. It is no surprise that the Crash are mainstays in the playoffs and even reached the S44 Ultimus game.
Chicago
1.12 - Rico Savage - S (current TPE: 1053)
2.12 - Bill Cravy - CB (current TPE: 512)
3.12 - Jake Jefferson - QB (current TPE: 635; now RB)
4.04 - Faust Leercor - DE (current TPE: 653)
4.12 - Amanda HugAndKiss - S (current TPE: 374)
6.12 - Icepick O’Hullihan - S (banned from league)
Grade: C
Chicago hit a home run with podcast extraordinaire TheRake with his player Rico Savage in the first round. The Butchers second through fourth round picks are great users with mid-level earning players who still put up good numbers for the Butchers. Not a bad draft for Chicago but not a grand slam like other teams.
Colorado
1.02 - Mary Marie - S (current TPE: 1123)
1.07 - Craig Brand - LB (current TPE: 693; now on CTC)
1.11 - Wolfie McDummy Jr. - QB (current TPE: 1122)
3.02 - Synystyr Gates - CB (current TPE: 811)
5.07 - Banjo O’Kudah - CB (retired)
6.07 - Spooky Diddler III - LB (retired)
7.07 - Quarl Walkins III - RB (retired)
Grade: A
A superstar in the making, Mary Marie was mocked to go number one overall in the ISFL draft as she did in the DSFL draft. I am sure Colorado was giddy when she fell to them at pick number two. aeonsjenni is a great contributor to the league as current Bondi Beach GM and legendary media content creator. With three first round picks, the Yeti loaded up on foundational pieces. Unfortunately, Brand went to CTC but McDummy Jr. ended up being the QB of the future like the Yeti envisioned.
Honolulu
1.03 - Billy Jor-El - DT (current TPE: 1132; now CB)
2.03 - Ray Baker - K/P (current TPE: 1096)
3.08 - Liath Squirrel - LB (current TPE: 1097)
4.03 - Trent Silverback - OL (current TPE: 288)
6.03 - Offe Panic - DT (retired)
7.03 - John Smith - DE (retired)
Grade: A+
Automatic A+ if you have three or more players over 1000 TPE at this point. Honolulu drafted bonafide superstars in Billy Jor-El, Ray Baker, and Liath Squirrel. All three were major factors in Honolulu’s championship win in season 44 and look to keep that momentum going. Icebear did his homework for once when it really counted in the S41 Draft.
New Orleans
1.05 - Ezra Azazel - CB (current TPE: 1136)
1.06 - Bruce White - DE (current TPE: 1070)
2.06 - Kyle Crane - RB (current TPE: 1051)
4.06 - Malik Brooks - RB (current TPE: 953; now on CTC; now WR)
5.01 - Rodney Rosadino - LB (current TPE: 266; free agent)
6.06 - William Barkley - TE (retired)
7.06 - Nwoye Musa - DT (retired)
Grade: S
Another team with three 1000+ draftees is actually NOLA. Despite their recent lack of success, NOLA had one of the best drafts to remember. Not only did they draft max earning players, they drafted their future GMs in back-to-back first round picks. I’m no ISFL historian but something tells me that has never happened before. Although it is easy to pick on NOLA, their S41 Draft is one for the ages.
New York
1.01 - Dub Redd - DT (current TPE: 1132)
2.01 - Loose Cannon - LB (current TPE: 1165; now S)
3.06 - Sean Robinson - WR (current TPE: 1044)
3.10 - The Riddler - WR (current TPE: 936; now CB)
6.01 - Bradley Welch Jr. - CB (retired)
6.04 - Saveour Piethons - CB (current TPE: 326; now on COL; now OL)
7.01 - Slim Reaper - WR (retired)
Grade: A+
Here’s a recurring theme: more 1000+ TPE players. The Silverbacks hit the jackpot with their first 4 picks in Dub Redd, Loose Cannon, Sean Robinson, and The Riddler. New York has also been a mainstay in the playoffs and even reached the S43 Ultimus thanks to these great season 41 players.
Orange County
1.04 - John Stark VIII - LB (current TPE: 1099)
3.11 - Lloyd Bannings - QB (current TPE: 1024)
4.07 - Leo Stud - LB (retired)
5.06 - Joshua Mabry - OL (current TPE: 569; now on BAL)
6.11 - Akele Kekela - RB (retired)
Grade: B+
Two solid picks in JSVIII and Bannings who are team leaders for the Otters. Great foundational draft for Orange County but not as franchise-changing compared to other teams.
San Jose
2.02 - Jumbo Edward - DT (current TPE: 663)
2.11 - DJ Maclean - LB (current TPE: 1062)
3.04 - Diego Lopez Alonso - WR (retired)
3.09 - Modest Mussorgsky - OL (current TPE: 327)
4.01 - Otto the Orange - TE (current TPE: 545; now WR)
5.04 - Kenny Szymborski - TE (current TPE: 705)
7.04 - Samuel Nelson - DE (retired)
Grade: B
Good draft for the Sabercats especially with grabbing a 1000+ TPE player in the second round and a 700+ TPE player in the fifth round. Great players and great users in this draft. I won’t talk about Diego 1 retiring early though.
Sarasota
1.08 - Max Honestly - LB (current TPE: 1126)
2.07 - Artemis Entreri - WR (current TPE: 375; free agent)
4.02 - Damarcus Cole - DT (current TPE: 542)
5.03 - Eilliot Berry - RB (current TPE: 241; now on CTC)
5.08 - King Dedede - LB (current TPE: 533)
6.08 - Mr Robb - S (retired)
Grade: C
Honestly, a great first round pick in Max Honestly. A workhorse on defense and in the TPE count. Picked up some mid-earning players in later rounds who are still contributors to this day.
Yellowknife
1.13 - Kadarius Claypool II - CB (current TPE: 1079)
2.13 - Terry Johnson - LB (current TPE: 667)
3.13 - Orga Panda - WR (current TPE: 784; now CB)
4.13 - Andrija Divac - TE (retired)
5.13 - Garth Silver - S (retired)
6.13 - Wade Right - K/P (retired)
Grade: C+
You can’t go wrong drafting my man Weaves. It was obvious he would be a great contributor to any team and it has shown. This was a good draft for the Yellowknife defense. I thought Divac would stay around longer which would have helped the Wraiths’ grade here but still a good defensive draft.

4.01 - Otto the Orange - TE (current TPE: 545; now WR)
5.04 - Kenny Szymborski - TE (current TPE: 705)
7.04 - Samuel Nelson - DE (retired)
Grade: B
Good draft for the Sabercats especially with grabbing a 1000+ TPE player in the second round and a 700+ TPE player in the fifth round. Great players and great users in this draft. I won’t talk about Diego 1 retiring early though.
Sarasota
1.08 - Max Honestly - LB (current TPE: 1126)
2.07 - Artemis Entreri - WR (current TPE: 375; free agent)
4.02 - Damarcus Cole - DT (current TPE: 542)
5.03 - Eilliot Berry - RB (current TPE: 241; now on CTC)
5.08 - King Dedede - LB (current TPE: 533)
6.08 - Mr Robb - S (retired)
Grade: C
Honestly, a great first round pick in Max Honestly. A workhorse on defense and in the TPE count. Picked up some mid-earning players in later rounds who are still contributors to this day.
Yellowknife
1.13 - Kadarius Claypool II - CB (current TPE: 1079)
2.13 - Terry Johnson - LB (current TPE: 667)
3.13 - Orga Panda - WR (current TPE: 784; now CB)
4.13 - Andrija Divac - TE (retired)
5.13 - Garth Silver - S (retired)
6.13 - Wade Right - K/P (retired)
Grade: C+
You can’t go wrong drafting my man Weaves. It was obvious he would be a great contributor to any team and it has shown. This was a good draft for the Yellowknife defense. I thought Divac would stay around longer which would have helped the Wraiths’ grade here but still a good defensive draft.
