Round 10, Pick 1 - Krakow Knights
JOEL DRAKE, Safety (S24)
@Rusfan - 722 TPE
Hordle: Joel Drake is my secondary pick in safety. A great value pick here. A younger player with a lot of gas left in the tank. I believe that him and Nkiah will make a fantastic pair. Giving Joel the chance to play and learn from his safety counter part as he has room to grow. Rusfan is someone that I don't know very well. But I've never had a negative interaction with him. And as such I believe that he will be an amazing pick up for the team. Eventually teaching another young up and coming safety. I hope that Joel will grow to take on a leadership role in the secondary.
Round 10, Pick 2 - Barbary Pirates
ADAM MELLOTT, Offensive Line (S25)
@GuitarMaster116 - 588 TPE
Zeagle: S25 Offensive line gang! My team did not have enough cult members (any cult members), so who better to pick than an awesome dude who's super involved in the league? Guitarmaster is a rookie mentor, which is probably the most important job in the league! I have no clue if having a rookie mentor on my team will make prospects think my team is cooler, but it's worth a shot. On top of being a rookie mentor, he is a great user who is a max earner and is active both on the forums and on discord.
Anyways, I badly needed an offensive lineman, so it made sense to grab an awesome S25 OL here with the 92nd overall pick. Mellott will hold down the blind side for Caliban. Since he has so many seasons until regression, Mellott will be a fixture for the Pirates for many seasons to come.
Round 10, Pick 3 - Bali Banteng
ZEE RECHS, Tight End (S22)
@ZootTX - 840 TPE
Rev: With the 93rd pick in the redraft, the Bali Bagels select tight end (hon hon hon) Zee Rechs from the YellowKnife Wraiths. While there are still some obvious holes in it, my defense is rounding out nicely and I should probably continue to get Blas some more weapons on offense or else he might throw footballs at me. Rechs is a no-brainer pick here - he's the second highest TPE tight end still on the board, with the guy above him being a season older. I'm trying to avoid drafting any more people older than S22 if possible, so Rechs is the obvious choice to fill a position of need. As it happens, Zoot is also a great LR addition: he's a fellow Birddog and a pal of mine, and he will be an excellent asset in the Bali war room.
Round 10, Pick 4 - Pacific Ocean Gulls
PETER PATTERSON, Cornerback (S25)
@slate - 605 TPE
Joefish: We're already into the double digit rounds of the draft and a get another awesome player. Peter Patterson is a nice young, max earning, active cornerback from season 25 who I took from the Sarasota Sailfish, and I really just can't complain about this at all. He probably won't be complaining about leaving Sarasota either because Frost sux lmap. Patterson had one of the most passes defended in the league last season, 21, which only helps contribute to the plan of lockdown defense for seasons. He still has a long way to go in terms of regression, and he'll be one of the biggest names on the team in seasons going forward. Peter Patterson wasn't my original choice for this pick, but when he was still here I had to pull the trigger. It also helps that I'm great friends with Slate, the user of this player, and an owner of another redraft team. I'm sure he was probably going to pick himself this round if he made it there, but I sniped him. I am so glad to welcome him into the locker room and probably the war room as well.
Round 10, Pick 5 - Munich Machtapparat
DAYMOND BROOKS, Defensive Tackle (S22)
@ForSucksFake - 929 TPE
Pat: So I have to admit something - I waffled on this pick many times before finally pulling the trigger on Brooks. Defensive Line was definitely not a position of need, as I'd already spent two of my first eight picks on it, but when looking at it I just couldn't pass up the chance to round out the unit by bringing in another Season 22 standout on the DL. Draymond Brooks is a monster on the interior of any line, as he's recorded 24 sacks over the last three seasons for the Butchers (including 11 in Season 26), and his ability to play either over Center or over either Guard opens up a ton of versatility when deciding on our defensive game plan. Much like the other Season 22 defenders I've picked, Brooks still has a couple more seasons of earning before he hits regression, so I know I'll get full production out of him for the foreseeable future. As for the user, ForSucksFake, I have to admit I don't know if I've ever actually had an interaction with him. I do know that he is quite a good graphic artist with his Total Legal Sig Shop as well as providing draft cards for the MN Grey Ducks. I couldn't have asked for better value here with my tenth pick.
Round 10, Pick 6 - Western Reds
MATTHEW MCDAIRMID, Kicker/Punter (S22)
@Matty7478 - 1087 TPE
Simo: With this pick we are finally moving briefly away from offence but fret not cause we will be right back. On the extremely rare occasion that we don't score a touchdown on every drive we will need someone to punt the ball away. And if you want someone to punt the ball away why not get the best punter in the whole god damn league? That's what we at the Western Reds went and did when we brought in Matty “Ultimus MVP” McDairmid. We don't expect Matty to be doing to much work at all really so he is kinda free to just do what he wants, but off the field he too will be an integral part of the locker room and an awesome addition to our war room. GM experience in the DSFL and now also in the ISFL before I took him what more can you want? One thing to note is that Matty will not be kicking field goals. Punter only.
Round 10, Pick 7 - Fargo Woodchippers
HONKY-TONK HAYWOOD, Defensive Tackle (S25)
@jzajenius36 - 579 TPE
Zayn: I dont know too much about Jza, other than he was philly's 2nd round pick and has been earning at a very good rate. Pat was annoyed at me when i made this pick, so thats all the confirmation I needed to know I got a good one. At this point i needed a killed DT and Honky-Tonk appealed to me for many different reasons. Firstly he has been an amazing earner in the S25 class, and I wanted to get a young D-Line to help even out the slightly older DB's I drafted. Honky-Tonk is also one of the best names in the league and I am excited to get this guy on the team. Paring him up with Goku to inflict pain on QB's near and far
Round 10, Pick 8 - Tokyo Tanuki
DAVRIEL LAVIGNE, Safety (S25)
@Raven - 609 TPE
Swanty: Now that the offensive/defensive balance of the Tokyo roster had been somewhat restored, I looked to bag the final key position that I didn't yet have a player for, safety. There were a few tempting options at other positions but I didn't want to go and make things so complicated. Raven is a fantastic user who has contributed a lot to the league, and will be a great addition to the war room. It helps too that Lavigne is one of the top safeties in the S25 class, being the #1 overall pick in the S24 DSFL draft.
Round 10, Pick 9 - Seoul Searchers
THOMAS PASSMANN, Wide Receiver (S22)
@StamkosFan - 974 TPE
Katarn: After picking a younger cornerbakc to play in the secondary, the Searchers turn back to the offensive side of the ball, this time opting for experience over youth. Thomas Passman slots in nicely as the WR2 for QB Colby Jack to throw to. Passman is currently at 974 TPE and will certainly break the 1,000 TPE mark this season, only improving his value to the team. To be entirely honest, I do not know a lot about user StamkosFan, although I feel that I can safely infer they are a fan of Tampa Bay Lightning centre Steven Stamkos. However, if he is good enough to be Arizona's number one wide receiver in the ISFL, he is more than good enough to be my number 2.
Round 10, Pick 10 - Santiago Condors
FELIX ARCHSTONE, Offensive Line (S25)
@GlimsTC - 535 TPE
Slate: To quickly get the football stuff out of the way, Archstone is the second highest TPE OL among the Season 25 class and will develop into a bookend tackle to pave the way for Zoe Watts and protect whatever QB I decide to draft later.
Now that that's done, let me take this opportunity wax emotional on the user behind this player, who makes me so stoked to have him on the Condors. It's only fitting that with the 100th pick of the draft I take the 100% most grounded and compassionate user in the ISFL. Glims was the first person I ever watched get drafted to be my teammate as the Coyotes' 2nd round pick in the Season 24 DSFL draft. He quickly became the first S25 rookie to take on GM responsibilities, stepping up alongside Simo to fill in when Butters and Matty decided to step down partway through the season. He had to learn a ton about the league very quickly and I did my best to learn alongside hm in the KCC war room and help share the workload he suddenly had to deal with. To put it simply, neither one of us would be the users that we are today without the other.
If it wasn't clear from that, I have the utmost respect for Glims as a human being and he instantly instills the Condors locker room with an unwavering positivity and sincerity. The intangibles alone would make him an incredible draft pick, but on top of it I get one of the best young offensive linemen in the league to bolster my young offense.
Round 11, Pick 1 - Santiago Condors
ROTTICUS SCOTT, Defensive Tackle (S21)
@RotticusScott - 1161 TPE
Slate: With my 11th pick of the draft I finally take my first player older than the Season 22 draft class. Rotti may be a geezer, but at some point you have to take the 1100 TPE player that's left on the board, and I decided that the 101st pick was that point. Together with Patrik Money, Scott will be a formidable presence in the defensive interior. I drafted two younger DEs to play on the edge, so having two seasoned veterans wreaking havoc in the middle of the line should give opposing offenses problems and make for easier assignments on the outside as Crowder and Montain continue to develop into the surefire star players they will become. And with so much TPE and a full season of earning left before regression, Scott should be a dominant player for several seasons to come. I will aim to come back for a younger DT in the later rounds to shore up the future of my interior defensive line given the relative age of both DTs I've drafted thus far, but that's a problem for a later time.
Round 11, Pick 2 - Seoul Searchers
ERNEST LOVER, Defensive End (S26)
@Mojojojo - 449 TPE
Katarn: This might be my favorite pick of the draft, for several reasons. First off, the name. As soon as Mojo joined the league, her player's name immediately caught my attention. I feel that we all can aspire to Ernest Lover's. Second is the position, one after my own heart, defensive end. Defense wins championships and there is simply no better place to build a strong defense than in the trenches. As a former defensive end, I respect others who aspire to be great at the position. Third and most importantly, Mojojojo is simply a power user and wonderful person. Mojo has been super involved in the league since joining, including getting a job as a media grader, as well as recently joining the London Royals war room. Although still young, Ernest Lover's youth will help carry the team to future success.
Round 11, Pick 3 - Tokyo Tanuki
SWANTAVIUS JONES, Cornerback (S25)
@Swanty - 600 TPE
Swanty: This guy is a stud. I also didn't want one of my fellow GMs to be forced to write something about me.
Round 11, Pick 4 - Fargo Woodchippers
TRE'DARIUS J'VATHON, Wide Receiver (S24)
@Smitty - 728 TPE
Zayn: I needed another WR, and looking at the tracker, I realized Sarasota had a S24 Gem tucked away, and I was happy to snag him here!! I Dont know this user rise of Smitty well at all but i see that he has made some interesting media. I needed a strong and young WR2 and this guy checked the boxes for me, I was shocked he was still around as I was considering this guy a couple rounds earlier, but I decided due to the depth of tallent at WR i could afford to wait. To my surprise this guy kept falling and at this point i could not pass up a talented and exciting WR this late in the draft. With Lim, KKM, and Lewadowski, so far I am really excited about the offensive potential of my team
Round 11, Pick 5 - Western Reds
AUSTIN MCCORMICK, Tight End (S19)
@Nokazoa - 1046 TPE
Simo: I could not believe it. I added an amazing tight end to my roster way earlier and then like 8 rounds later there is the other best tight end in the league right here sitting for me to take and add to my explosive offence. I feel like some people are just asleep at the wheel here letting me build an offence this good but I'm not going to complain and I'll just be throwing touchdowns all over them for fun, that's when they'll realise their mistakes. Aside from the fact of what a great tight end Austin McCormick is, Noka is also one of my favourite sim league people so when I saw him available I just had to go get him and bring him to the Western Reds. I imagine with two players this uncoverable we will use both of them a lot and Chika will have no problem making completions and keeping the chains moving. Along with a great player, Noka is obviously a great person to have in the locker room and an A+ addition to our war room also with all sorts of knowledge.
Round 11, Pick 6 - Munich Machtapparat
JEFFREY PHILLIPS, Tight End (S22)
@DrunkenTeddy - 820 TPE
Pat: With my defense in a very strong spot I KNEW I had to start getting some weapons for Mike Boss Jr to throw the ball too. With an abundance of highly-talented Wide Receivers still left on the board I knew that I had to jump on a Tight End, as it is traditionally a thin position. Imagine my surprise when someone who has been a consensus top three option at fantasy football for the last three seasons at least, Jeffrey Phillips, is still sitting there. So there is a saying that a Quarterback's best friend is a reliable Tight End he can throw to across the middle to move the chains. Oh wait, I already said his best friend is a good running game. Okay, so Quarterbacks can have multiple best friends, and one of them is a good Tight End. As for the user, DrunkenTeddy, I don't believe I've ever interacted with him, but as a fan of beer and other alcoholic beverages, I can tell that I'm going to enjoy having him around based on his name alone.
Round 11, Pick 7 - Pacific Ocean Gulls
KILLIAN CHAMBERS, Wide Receiver (S25)
@charlit - 587 TPE
Joefish: Another round, another pick, and this time around I was looking to build up my offense a little bit more. After looking at my options, I pick the one and only Killian Chambers to be the team's wide receiver 2 behind Ty Hood. I know I've been focusing on my defense with most of my picks, but I feel really happy about my offense both for now and in the future. The user of Killian Chambers, charlit, is a great guy in the league, as I'm sure Pat and Cody can attest to. Right now he plays for the Philly Liberty behind Flash Panda, who is entering regression soon. Killian still managed to have a 1000 yard season this past season, and that's pretty impressive as a WR2. I met char in the among us server, and he's a great dude who I'm really glad to have on the Pacific Ocean Gulls. POG.
Round 11, Pick 8 - Bali Banteng
LUCA SCABBIA, Wide Receiver (S23)
@enigmatic - 827 TPE
Rev: With the 108th pick of the redraft, the Bali Ballers (on HBO) select wide receiver Luca Scabbia from the Chicago Butchers. Enigmatic is a hall of fame quality user and would be a hall of fame player if the voters didn't have sand in their eyes and if you disagree then maybe, just maybe, you're a butthead. Having just been promoted to WR1 in Chicago's scheme, it's a shame (for them) that I'm stealing Scabbia to come play for my team, but she will be a welcome addition in my soon to be ballin' offense. Engi is hands down one of the nicest people in the league in addition to having a wealth of league experience in many different capacities. Overall, Enigmatic is an absolute steal in the 11th round, even when stacked up against every player/user in the league, and I'm delighted to still be adding war room quality people to my team 11 rounds into the draft.
Round 11, Pick 9 - Barbary Pirates
HANK WINCHESTER, Linebacker (S25)
@timeconsumer - 624 TPE
Zeagle: So I wanted a young linebacker here to shore up my LB corps for the forseeable future, and Hank Winchester fits that bill to a tee. He is currently at 624 TPE, which is good for 6th highest in the S25 class as a whole and the top linebacker! Everyone knows how amazing the season 25 class was, so this a very impressive feat. I do not know if I will be playing 3-4 or 4-3 defense yet, bur Hank Winchester will feature prominently in either, as a great compliment to Haha Mango-Panda, eventually recplacing him when the time comes.
So I made this pick exclusively based on the player, but I have been informed that Winchester's user is a fantastic guy as well. Time Consumer has made a whopping 4600 forum posts, roughly one post for every tackle he will have for the Pirates. I have never interracted with him, but his forum posts are generally funny so I imagine we will get along once we are on the same team.
Round 11, Pick 10 - Krakow Knights
JIM WATERS, Cornerback (S22)
@siddhus - 819 TPE
Hordle: CORNERS! I needed to get more to go with my stud defense. Jim Waters is a younger guy with experience and room to grow. He'll line up with Shields and another pick to be mentioned later. Hopefully with the aid of the safeties this will be a shut down secondary. I've got personal experience with Sid in QCC and he's a cool guy. Even if he is like six years old and sleeps till noon. I'm confident he is a good add to a team and the Locker room. With all of my corners being around the same age. I have little to worry about in terms of replacement for the next few seasons. But I'm going for a win now approach anyway. Jim is a great value pick up for this late in the draft. I'm excited to have him.
