NBFL Season 30 Draft Grades

Heading into the offseason, NBFL teams can use the draft to fortify parts of their team that are lacking before the next season. Likewise, new franchises get to establish a foundation that will hopefully lead to future success (or instant success, as four rookie teams made the playoffs last season).

Of course all draft classes are not created equal, so we're going to look at each one to see who got the best value, the best fits, and the absolutely silly players that are guaranteed to not work (until they do). Let's go through the picks, in order this time, and see how everyone did.

My draft grade writeup prior to the show...

1) Charlie - Illadelph Sunshine - Needs hitter beastman and better CWs

1st pick - Jude Tasden Block, Mighty Blow, Guard, +ST, +AG as a chaos warrior
Player worthy of being the number 1 pick and a pretty week strength class this draft.
He'll be an annoying warrior, but would have been better as a beastman (block,dodge,guard ST guy went undrafted would have made a solid CW as a second round pick.
Also looking at his team, I really think he would have benefited from trading down a few spots, his team is still very basic for this league.

Grade B-

2nd pick - Jesse Ventura Mighty Blow, Guard, Dodge, +MA as a Beastman
No Block or Wrestle, but with 12spp banked, should get to it easily enough and team desperately needs some M.B., but also needs more tackle..I think Carlton Fist would have been better.

Grade B

Overall grade - B

2) Cervus - Needs a super blitzer

1st pick - Fred Taylor Block, Mighty Blow, [Primary], Tackle, +ST as a blitzer
Got exactly what he needed since he didn't already have a +ST guy.

Grade A+

2nd pick - Gene Okerlund Mighty Blow, Tackle, Guard, Juggernaut as a blitzer
Didn't 'Need' anything else except to get rid of the bloated Fling, so upgraded a niggled Blitzer.

Grade A

Overall grade - A

3) HouseBlackfyre - new chaos -needs a couple good warriors, a good hitter, a scorer, and a utility beastman

1st pick - Alfonso "Trece" Martinez +AG, +MA, Block, +MA, Dodge as a Beastman
Got a solid warrior, Good scoring beastman, and a starter utility beast in the Comp draft
Players like Alfonso don't come around very often. Smart to grab while he can. Speed and agility are essential in this league.

Grade A

2nd pick - Dead Ghoul Running Wrestle, Tackle, Strip Ball as a Beastman
Good Beastman sweeper, but I would have taken a Second Warrior here. 3 perfectly good 3 skill warriors still available at thsi point.

Grade C+

Overall Grade - B

4) Miyusu - Needs - Technically nothing, could upgrade a Valkyrie, Blitzer, or Ulf, or grab a special lineman

1st pick - Xcess +ST, Dodge, Block, Tackle, Fend as a Valkyrie
Don't like this pick at all...+ST is a lot of bloat on a player with built in dauntless, and needed a backup carrier, not another hitter.
If he really wanted +ST i'd have taken Jalen Wydermyer and replaced his blitzer or Cooper Korik for a better Valkyrie.
I'm also not experienced with the new norse at all, so I could be completely wrong.

Grade D

2nd pick - Chance Kalaugher 10 Wrestle, Strip Ball, Leap, +AG as a Lineman
Odd pick for Norse. Normally I love these kinds of players, and he certainly had nothing like him.
I still would have replaced the 2 skill blitzer...Taylor "Captain" Rapp II probably

Grade B-

Overall grade - C-

5) Astrolonim - Needs - New team, recommended 2 bulls, 2 chorfs, and either a 3rd chorf or special hob.

1st pick - Joni "27th semester" Gonzalez Block, Guard, Mighty Blow, Tackle as a Bull Centaur
Getting 2 good Chorfs and an odd hobgoblin in the comp, needed 2 Bulls
Joni makes a perfectly solid blitzer Bull, but isn't a game changer, which CD's in this league have proven they need at least 1 to compete.
Definitely would have gone stat here.

Grade B-

2nd pick - Bobby Brown Guard, Stand Firm, Mighty Blow as a Chorf Blocker
The only 3 skills a chorf needs other than the odd mutation or stat.
Normally I'd say get the second Bull, but lookiing at what was left...there were interesting Bull choices, but no great ones.
I think he made the right call.

Grade A

Overall grade - B+

6) Waagh - Needs - 2 better Pestigors and 2 better bloaters


1st pick - ShaKill O'Neal Block, Guard, Mighty Blow as a Bloater
With slim pickings in ST categorie, I understand the pick. He got the best one left for his needs.
But his team needs another ball carrier and another hard hitting Pestigor of which there were plenty to choose from.

Grade B-

2nd pick - Carlton Fist 8 Wrestle, Tackle, Mighty Blow as a Pestigor
Would have rather seen him take a backup carrier...but no great ones left, solid pick.

Grade B+

Overall grade - B

7) jmonforton - Needs - 2 Saurus and a ball carrier skink

1st pick - Johnathan Banks Block, Dodge, Side Step, Mighty Blow, +MA as a Saurus
This guys going to be a pain in the ass, very solid choice.

Grade A+

2nd pick - Makgiber Chavez Fregonius 0 Mighty Blow, Block, Dodge, Side Step as a Saurus
Another perfectly annoying Saurus

Grade A

Overall grade - A (only reason it's not a plus is he might have been able to trade down a couple of spots, still gotten these guys, and also had a third pick to bolster his depleted skinks

Cool Keshdr - Needs - Blitzer, 2 better catchers, throwers could both use to be upgraded as well

1st pick - Robert Wight Mighty Blow, Dodge, Tackle, Guard, +AG as a Blitzer
This guy is also going to be a pain in the ass. Blitzer was main priority.
Facing Chaos, Khorne, and Tombs...could have used a +ST here, but I don't think the ones left were better than this choice.

Grade A+ damnit

2nd pick - Juan Blade Poli Puerkos [POLI] 17 Block, Dodge, Fend, Tackle as a Catcher
Good player, but don't think he needed a third tackler catcher, I'd have grabbed one of the Guards left.

Grade C+

Overall grade - B+

9) GotrekSlayer - Needs - 2 Pestigors - at least one of them as a hard hitter

1st pick - Tuf Borland +AG, Tackle, Strip Ball, Wrestle as a Pestigor
Maybe I'm starting to rub off on people, this was the guy I wanted most in the draft.
Will be a game changer against the elves and rats, and still a neusance against the orcs.
Best possible pick out of what's left with the possible exception of Albert Crumm

Grade A+

2nd pick - Freddie Frawglegs SMU Wrestle, Tackle, Leap, Dauntless, +MA
Why have just one of these guys when you can have 2? Because this one is no where near as good...leap is just gonna get him killed, and dauntless is terrible on a beastman since the horns trigger first.
Also already has a double MV tackle Pestigor.
This pick absolutely needed to do damage, MB, frenzy, or even +ST...all were still available

Grade D

Overall grade - C

10) Amon242 (Traded up from 20) - Needs - Pestigor and upgrade 1 bloater

1st pick - Martin Vanderbilk Block, Mighty Blow, +MA as a Pestigor
Don't like the trade up here for an ok Pesti. This guy had a good chance of dropping to 20, and I like Makgiber Chavez Fregonius better, who went at 38.
and then he'd still have a pick to upgrade the bloater.

Grade D

No 2nd pick

Overall grade - F

11) Dutchlife - Needs - 2 Tomb Guardians

1st pick - Krampus Washington Huskarls 22 Guard, Stand Firm, Mighty Blow, Juggernaut as a Tomb Guard
No Block, but needs just 1 MVP to get it, don't like the Juggs on a T.G. though. Maybe Dutch wants a backup Juggalo.
Either the 22 SPPs were too shiny or he forgot T.G.s can draft from both Strength and Big Guy categories now.
I think I take Corbin Dulas here if he wants to turn a TG into a blitzer.

Grade B-

2nd pick - Michael Slay-Han JMSB 9 Block, Guard, Stand Firm as a Tomb Guard
Can't ask for better for a second round pick...except maybe Corbin Dulas.

Grade A

Overall Grade - A

12) Garcangel - Needs - All..new Dark Elves (Gets a nasty Witch, great blitzer, and good lino in comp)

1st pick - Jalen Wydermyer 2 Dodge, +ST, Side Step, Tackle as a Blitzer
Goes perfectly with him comp Blitzer

Grade A+

2nd pick - Grant Naul BYU [BYU] Blitzer 19 Dodge, Tackle
Too many good choices left for a second witch or good runner to take a 3rd blitzer that would have started with dodge or tackle as a rookie anyway

Grade D

Overall grade - A- (due a good bit to great comp picks)

13) mrt1212 - Needs - Thrower ...maybe replace the injured Dave Brown...maybe an interesting linerat

1st pick - Willy "Grisly" Dissly Thrower 0 Cannoneer, +AG, +ST, Guard as a Thrower
Hard to grade this one, very unique player, and mrT likes interesting players.
Only 4 throwers available this draft period, since rat throwers can only draft from that category.
But ST and guard with no block or banked SPPs I just can't justify on a thrower.
I think I replace one of the gutters with Garrett Wilson (who went undrafted?) for the 1 turn options and hope Warren Moon is still around for the second pick (he was)

Grade - D

2nd pick - Jim U. [BSCB] 4 Block, Tackle, +ST as a Linerat
Fun linerat while he lasts...I still take the 1 turner though.

Grade - B

Overall grade - C

14) Jeffro - Needs - Blitzer (could also stand to replace the injured Dawson Knox), more Guard, possibly a second runner.

1st pick - Isaiah Spiller A&M 0 Dodge, Side Step, Sure Hands, +MA, +ST as a Blitzer
Damn...hell of a steal at 14...sure hands a little odd, but not complete bloat, and with the other 4 skills who cares?

Grade - A

2nd pick - Doug Cuzco MIA 0 +ST, Block as a lineman
Already 3 +ST players on the team, don't need a lino one as well...block, guard would have been much better and less bloat.
Other options were Kenneth Sabo as a really neat Assassin, and I like Warren Moon better than his existing runner.

Grade - F

Overall grade - C (love the first pick, hate the second)

15) ryanfitz - Needs - New Slayer and Blitzer, better second blitzer maybe.

1st pick - Cooper Korik Northern Virginia CC Hawks [NOVA] Skill/Blitz 0 Dodge, +MA, +MA as a Blitzer
That's a fast dwarf! Anytime you can get extra move for Dwarves, grab it. He needs guys able to catch Elves and Bulls

Grade - A

2nd pick - Corbin Dulas Northern Virginia CC Hawks [NOVA] Blitz/Str 0 +MA, Mighty Blow as a Slayer
See previous statement.

Grade - A

Overall grade - A

16) OTS - Needs - A Defensive Runner, a Blitzer, a Slayer, a Deathroller, a better 2nd Blitzer...in that order.

1st pick - Cameron Saffle California CAL Blitz/Str 0 Sidstep, Dodge, +ST as a Blitzer
Not a fan of this one...there were better options for runner, slayer, blitzer for facing Frogs, Delfs, and Chaos

Grade F

2nd pick - Taylor "Captain" Rapp II U-Dub Elfskies UDUB Blitzer 0 Mighty Blow, Tackle, +MA, Diving Tackle as a Blitzer
Should have been his first pick, got lucky this guy dropped this far.
Still decent picks for Slayer and Runner too.

Grade A

Overall grade - C

17) BillBrasky - Needs - 1 Catcher, upgrade second Blitzer, backup thrower, Guards.

1st pick - Ralph Samuelson Minnesota UmGO Skilled 4 +MA, Sprint, Sure Feet, Juggernaut as a Catcher
Trying to wrap my head around this one, but can't. You think 1 turner, but then Juggs with no Block or tackle to go with it.
Steinnar Grimlisonn would have been better for 1 turn and Pelen Lath or would have made a better sweeper.

Grade - D

2nd pick - Elf Lives Matter Notre Dame ND Lineman 0 Wrestle, Dodge as a Linelf
Basic skills for a linelf to survive...but not needed at all.
Still good picks left to upgrade the Blitzer and one even for the backup thrower.
If he really wanted a linelf, his team needed Jeremy Ruckert so much more.

Grade - F

Overall grade - F sorry for the harsh grade, but I see your needs as drastically different

1Cool Klazam - Needs - 1 Chorf, that's it.

1st pick - Albert Crumm Northern Virginia CC Hawks [NOVA] Skill/Blitz 0 +ST, Grab as a Chorf Blocker
Don't know if he tried to trade up, but he should have. Doesn't need another Hob and I don't see this guy making a difference against 2 eles and humans
I like a few players better than this one to trade up for, and if he couldn't get a trade, I think Taylor "Captain" Rapp II helps him a lot more against his division.
Maybe he'll grow.

Grade - C

2nd pick - Antonio "Silvery Wooly Monkey" Barrios UC San Dogo Krytens UCSD Lineman 19 Block, +MA as a Hobgoblin
All he can take is a Hob at this point. Extra move is always helpful against Elves and Humans, but he already has that.
I like the Block Frenzy, or Block Fend +AG guys better here, just because he doesn't have a frenzy or because Charles Mallin could use a backup in case of MNG or early KO.

Grade - C

Overall grade - C

19) asteflix - Needs - Nothing - Could replace the double niggle BigUn, or upgrade the 2 skill blitzer

Trades up from 23 with Xelron

1st pick - Loren Thaimon the 3rd Northern Virginia CC Hawks [NOVA] Lineman 0 Guard, +AV as a Lineorc
Best lineman for his play style...perfectly good meatshield, there were still a few blitzers left that could have replaced Charles ''Serpentine'' Dork that I like better.

Grade - B

No 2nd pick

Overall grade - B

20) HyperboLemuR - Needs - 1 Blitzer, 1 Thrower (and other needs upgraded), 2 Scoring Catchers.

Trades down from 10 for 20 and 52

1st pick - Rodney Brand Arkansas ARK Line/Sk/Bl 5 [Primary], Sure Hands, +AG as a Catcher
Can't decide what I think of this one, I see saving the Blitzer or thrower for 2nd or 3rd pick.
I assume the skill choice will be block or maybe sidestep. But no strip ball in his division makes the sure hands a bit of a waste.
Maybe Hyper has some build plan in mind, but I like Steinnar Grimlisonn for this pick.

Grade - C

2nd pick - Dwayne "Pain" Washington II U-Dub Elfskies [UDUB] Skilled 10 Wrestle, Tackle as a Catcher
I do not see at all how you take this guy over replacing your rookie blitzer, also still scoring catcher options left on the board.

Grade - F

3rd pick - Ted Jennings Connecticut [UCONN] Blitzer 0 Mighty Blow, Tackle, Guard, Stand Firm as a Blitzer
There's the blitzer upgrade, solid blitzer, but I like Sir Gregory Longhorn for the Grab here over the Stand Firm

Grade - B

Overall grade - C- love that he traded, just not what he did with it.

21) happygrue - Needs - a Blitzer, a Catcher, and a thrower that knows how to throw forwards

1st pick - Brenston Basher Clemson [CLEM] Blitzer 9 Mighty Blow, Dodge, Tackle, Guard as a High Elf Blitzer
Perfect High Elf Blitzer unless you want a stat...who let Grue have this guy? Oh yeah, deep draft for Blitzers.
Upon looking deeper, I think I take Jesse Ventura for the +MV over the tackle here, as there is next to no Dodge in his division.

Grade - A

2nd pick - Jorge R. ITBA ITBA Skilled 0 Block, Guard, Dodge as a Catcher
Gives Grue a 4th guard which they say Elves can never have too much guard as they get targeted so much.
I think I take something like Deontae "Super" Cooper here to fill a role he doesn't already have.

Grade - B

Overall grade A-

22) KidCrestHill - Needs - 1 Bloodseeker, 1 Khorngor, maybe a unique lineman

1st pick - Jimmy Doolittle Air Force Warpstone Falcons AIR Blitzer 0 Mighty Blow, Dodge, Guard, [Primary] as a Khorngor
With how deep the skilled and blitzer categories are, I think I take Michael Slay-Han or Corbin Dulas as a Bloodseeker here.
Good goat though.

Grade - B

2nd pick - Davy Bowwie Poli [POLI] Blitz/Str 7 Tackle, Guard, Mighty Blow as a Bloodseeker
No stand firm left, so this guy probably the best choice of what's there.

Grade - A

Overall grade - whatevers between B+ and A-, lol.

23) Xelron - Needs - Nothing, could upgrade 2 Big'Uns or 2 Blitzers

Trades down from 19 though doesn't need a 3rd pick.

1st pick - Oscar Padinka Oregon Waterfoul [O] Lineman 21 +AG, Leap as an Orc Goblin
Fun pick, but the 3 blizters that went before this would have been better without the trade.
+AG great on a Gob, but the leap is pretty much a waste.
If you're going to draft a Gob, fine...but Steinnar Grimlisonn would have been a much more sensible choice.

Grade - D-

2nd pick - Bryan Karak University KAMU Line/Blitzer 0 Guard, Mighty Blow, Diving Tackle as an Orc Blitzer
Replaces tackle with MB and DT...already has 2 tackle blitzers so picking up the DT will probably be helpful

Grade - B+

3rd pick - Sir Gregory Longhorn UNAM UNAM Blitzer 9 Tackle, Mighty Blow, Guard, Grab as an Orc Blitzer
Replaces a niggle with Tackle and Grab...Probably would have taken the 2nd and 3rd picks in opposite order, but mobile Grab is extremely helpful.

Grade - A

Overall grade - B-

24) Stimme - Needs - 2 Throwers and 2 Catchers

1st pick - Pelen Lath Oregon Waterfoul [O] Skilled 0 +AG, Guard, Leap, Wrestle, Side Step as a High Elf Catcher
This guys going to harry your cage for as long as he lives.

Grade - A

2nd pick - Warren Moon U-Dub Elfskies [UDUB] Thrower 0 Sure Hands, Leader, Accurate, Dump-Off, Nerves Of Steel
Needed a real thrower, got the only thrower worth taking. Still a few choices left for catcher that might have been better than this though.

Grade - B

Overall grade - B+

25) wolvezzz - Needs - 2 New Bulls...Minotaur if he wants.

1st pick - Mac Steen Florida [FU] Big Guy 1 Block, [Primary], Guard Enslaved Minotaur
Only good choice if he wanted a Mino, but I can't justify taking a Mino before at least 1 Bull

Grade - C-

2nd pick - Kenneth Sabo Northern Virginia CC Hawks [NOVA] Skill/Blitz 0 Block, Guard, Side Step, Jump Up as a Bull Centaur
Best choice of what's left if he wants Block, but Bulls need to be hitting or carrying, not supporting.

Grade - D

Overall grade - D-

26) Bazakastine - Needs - Nothing really...perhaps upgrade the 2 catchers with only 1 skill

1st choice - Charles M. Schultz Minnesota UmGO Lineman 10 Block, Guard, +ST as a Wood Lineelf
I'm sure Baz didn't expect this guy to drop this far, so Snag.
Elves always need more guard and the +ST could help take a little stress off of Stan Jones

Grade - A lucker

2nd pick - Fanupo Peapealalo Hawaii Warrielves HAW Lineman 19 Dodge, Block as a Wood Lineelf
Already has a fine Linelf core (though 2 are on life support if they get hit unless some of those niggles come off)
I think I upgrade one of the catchers here or for a lino I grab the DP, Frenzy, or fend +AG guy. (I know Baz isn't a big fouler though)

Grade - B

Overall grade - A-

27) Dashergeaux - Needs - All, New Human Team

Gets Good catcher, ok Blitzer, and an odd Lino in the Comp draft

1st pick - Korey "Turkey" Durkee U-Dub Elfskies UDUB Lineman 0 +MA, Wrestle, +ST as a Human Lineman
Fun unique pick...if the team was established. Too many Good Blitzers left on the board, and needs one with a solid set of skills since he took a stat blitzer in the comp.

Grade - D

2nd pick - Ainias Smith Texas A&M A&M Blitzer 1 Dodge, Side Step, Frenzy, Pro as a Human Blitzer
Much better. I'm a firm believer that every human team needs a Frenzy blizter and the other skills support the frenzy...though they do make him a bit pricy.

Grade - B

Overall grade with Comps - C

2Cool ex-convict - Needs - 1 Blitzer ...maybe get a 4th catcher or upgrade the Krox...I don't know frogs for squat.

1st pick - Gerard Sheppard Connecticut UCONN Skill/Blitz 18 Block, Dodge, Tackle, Side Step as a Slann Blitzer
Looks just right to me, compliments the existing 3 Blitzers very well.

Grade - A

2nd pick - Jeremy Ruckert Bro-Hio State BRO Lineman 4 Block, Guard as a Linefrog
Didn't 'need' anything else so why not grab more Guard while you can.
I think I pick up a 4th catcher here as a backup scorer, since 2 of the other catchers are foulers. Undrafted Julian Fleming would have fit well.

Grade - B-

Overall grade - B+

29) Lorebass - Needs - 1 Wraith and I'd consider replacing ghoul Ezekiell Killeile

Traded up from 31 with Nelphine

1st pick - Tristan Secret Paris [PARIS] Blitzer 4 Guard, Mighty Blow, Tackle, Grab as a Wraith
Got what he needed. Perfect Wraith sans a stat upgrade.
Trade was silly though. This guy is most likely still there at 31 unless Nelphine said he wanted him
And still decent picks left at 63 to replace the ghoul or replace 1 of the zombies that rolled a bad random with something functional.

Grade - A

No second pick

Overall grade - C+ (because of the trade)

30) wintergreen13 - Needs - 1 Catcher and 1 or 2 Throwers (if he replaces the injured one, not technically needed with his skills)

1st pick - Steinnar Grimlisonn Washington Huskarls [WAS] Skilled 0 Dodge, Side Step, Sprint, Sure Hands, +AG as a Pro Elf Catcher
No Block, but if this guy's getting hit, he isn't doing his job right. Much clearer Scoring catcher than his other 3. (though I would rather see Sure Feet, than Sure Hands.
Sure Hands has him trying to recover loose balls in sketchy areas and getting himself killed.

Grade - A-

2nd pick - Brianna Ste-Croix RMC She-Devils [RMC] Lineman 10 Block, Fend as a Pro Lineelf
The only Thrower left is awful, so might as well grab a lineman.
But I easily grab the Kicker or the Frenzy guy over this one as the team needs both. (DP too but, I'm guessing Winter isn't a big fouler.)

Grade - F

Overall grade - C

31) Nelphine - Needs - 1 or 2 Runners depending on preferrence (same with Assassins, I guess...but no Delf team NEEDS Assassins), Could upgrade the 2 skill witch or blitzer, and a couple of the Linos are dead weight.

Trades down from 29

1st pick - Madani Diarra Saint Louis StLB Lineman 6 Block, Dodge, Guard as a Dark Lineelf
Replaces one of the bad linos with very good one. Elves grab guard while you can.

Grade - A-

2nd pick - Makai Manuwai Hawaii Warrielves HAW Lineman 12 Block, Dodge as a Dark Lineelf
Replaces the other bad Lino with an ok one.
Should have grabbed a Runner here, no Throwers left, but several skilled guys that would work, I think Julian Fleming makes for a fun runner.
Or at least take the Kicker over another simple Blodger

Grade - D

3rd pick - Amari Cooper Alabama Silver Tide BAMA Skilled 3 Dodge, Side Step, Tackle as a Dark Elf Blitzer
Upgrades his Blitzer 1 skill, Meh. For a Blitzer take the Guard/Stand Firm left on the board (he doesn't need a 3rd tackler for Stimme's 2 dodgers.)
I like the Kicker over this choice too.

Grade - D

Overall grade - C- (nothing technically bad..but definitely could have been better.)

32) captainmalkor - Needs - Nothing - Maybe grab a Big Guy or replace the injured Warrior

1st pick - Jan Vizeir Ottawa Bee-Bees OTT Big Guy 7 Guard, Stand Firm, Grab, +AV as a Chaos Troll
All of the picks I wanted for Beastman or Warrior were already gone so grabbed the only other useful Big Guy, no Block, but Troll just needs to be a Meatshield anyway and those skills support that.
Probably should have traded up to try to get one of the Beastman I really wanted since a 1 skill troll is good enough.

Grade - C

2nd pick - Deontae "Super" Cooper U-Dub Elfskies [UDUB] Skilled 0 Dodge, Block, Tackle, Diving Tackle as a Beastman
Wanted a replacement Sidestepper of Frenzy, but the ones left just didn't have the right combinations of skills,
so went with a second Diving Tackle since Benjamin Razor [O] gets picked on so much.

Grade - B

Overall grade - C+ (perfectly solid picks, but nothing fun...should have traded up)

decides a player with the appropriate skills needed to build a solid Pestigor at 155 has more value than a bloater and pestigor at 300+ with multiple unneeded doubles..

I'll take the F in the draft Smile

NBFL Season XXX Week 1

Ah, week 1 of a fresh NBFL season. The fields sparkle with dew, the stands gleam with fresh paint, and the draft picks bounce around the clubhouse with the overeager excitement of a Labrador puppy. And then? They jump into the meat grinder that is the NBFL. What kind of sausage have we produced this week? Why, one just brimming with the mangled limbs of draft picks! Two dead and another 7 blessed with permanent injuries! Pull up a stool and have a great big bite of this belabored metaphor! Delicious.

Dead of the Week

Loruvae Grenda: Pittsburgh lineman; Kick, Block
Theodore Mene: Trans-Fat Crisco catcher; Guard, Block, Kick
D'Horndre Swifter: Detroit beastman; Block
Von Skinner #7 [IND]: Brew More runner; +AG, Block, Dodge, Pro, Leader
Tyrone Montgomery [Miss]: Dallas longbeard; Side Step, Diving Tackle, Guard

Death of the Week: You mean to tell me that both dead draft picks are DWARVES? And it’s not even my birthday! Of the two, the Death of the Week can only go to Von Skinner of Brew More. This was almost an ideal runner, minus a stat or two, and if anyone on that team is sober enough to notice his absence, will probably be missed. Now that I think about it, there is a very real possibility his death gave the team an excuse to go on a week-long bender, so I wish Brew More's next opponent a healthy dose of luck. They're gonna need it.

Maimed of the Week

Barthélémy "Alien" Darrigo [POLI]: Arizona hobgoblin (-ST); Guard, Mighty Blow, Block
Fabio Variola [OTT]: Manglesota wraith (-MA); Tackle, Mighty Blow, Guard, Fend
Lorebass: Mean Fae catcher (-PA); Guard, Dodge, Block
Loren Thaimon the 3rd [NOVA]: ChicagOrkz lineman (-PA); +AV, Guard
Kassim Osgood [SDSU]: Tijuana rotter; Dirty Player
Juan "Speedy" Gonzalez [SMU]: Detroit beastman (-PA); +ST, Block, Sure Hands, Side Step, Sure Feet
K. DaDrake [PAIN]: Illadelph blocker (-PA); Mighty Blow, Guard, Block
Bertrand: Illadelph beastman (-MA); Dodge, Block
Jalen Wydermyer [A&M]: Witchington blitzer (-AV); +ST, Dodge, Side Step, Tackle
Avery Nato: New Ziggland hobgoblin (-MA); Block, Pro

Total NI this week: 15
Total MNG this week: 19

7 VP: Mean Fae Quackers (North), New York Kroaks (East), Szeattle Scimitars (West), Trans-Fat Crisco Porky Diners (West), Witchington Commies (East) in the lead with 7 VP!

And the trailing teams with

In the anxious AFC, we have

7 VP: Houston Treants (South), Jakesonville Jortles (South), No-Skincinnati Bungles (North)

And everyone still has a great shot at the playoffs! (everyone within 6 wins and 1 draw of the leaders of their conference)

10 VP: Atlanta Atrocities (NFC South), Carolina Pinkeye (NFC South), ChicagOrkz Borkz (NFC North), Clampa Bay Robotineers (NFC South), Cleaved Land Bedlam (AFC North), Houston Treants (AFC South), Jakesonville Jortles (AFC South), Kansas City Geese (AFC West), New Ziggland Chariots (AFC East), No-Skincinnati Bungles (AFC North), Witchington Commies (NFC East)

NBFL Season XXX Week 2

Week 2 Haiku

The hush of the crowd
A boot rises, lit crimson
Crack! The skull is cleaved

That kind of tasteful cold open is what you can expect in OUR league! We are nothing if not composed and professional at all times. Now let's gloat over the corpses of our fallen enemies!

Dead of the Week

Tanoh [KCT]: Mean Fae lineman; Block, Dodge, Guard, Side Step

Donbot Godwin: Clampa Bay catcher; Sneaky Git
Case Keenum: Buffalo runner; Pass
Kenzie Merg: Carolina rotter; Dirty Player

Death of the Week: I mean, it’s gotta be “Grisly” Dissly, right? Just look at that guy! He’s so… Grisly! But what’s that over here, RottyMcRotterface not only died but joined his opponent’s team? That is not only hilarious but also just so perfectly Rotty. I award a double Death of the Week! To the meme king and… the other meme king! Your empires were both weird while they lasted.

This week furthers the spread, but, everyone is still within 5 wins and 1 draw of each other.

NBFL Season XXX Week 3

*wanders in wearing bathrobe, with two days’ stubble and a cup of coffee that is 90% whiskey from the smell of it*
Whassa? Deadlist? Oh sh… I mean *clears throat* here it is!
*does a half-hearted soft-shoe, slopping “coffee” onto the floor*
Eh, y’all can figure it out on your own. I’ve seen a bit of what next week has in store and… I don’t know if I can. And anyway, there’s a Claw & Order marathon on Cabalvision that I need to watch for… research.

Dead of the Week

John ‘Joints’ Boy [NOVA]: No Skincinnati tomb guardian; Block, Guard, Stand Firm, Mighty Blow, Grab
Dac Hirga: Szeattle lineman; Block, Dodge
Nagrub Beastshield: Orkapolis big ‘un; Block, Guard
David Carr: Houston thrower; Dodge, Sure Hands, Kick
Bunji: NOLA lineman; no skills
Walter J. Ong [STL]: New Zig chorf blocker; +MA, Dodge, Guard, Mighty Blow, Pro
Russl Wilsn [UNAM]: New Zig hobgoblin; +MA, +AG, Block, Dodge, Sprint, Sure Hands
DJ Moore: Carolina pestigor; Block, Guard
Taylor Moton: Carolina rotter; Mighty Blow
Melvin Ingram: Floridaman lineman; Kick, Dauntless, Strip Ball

Death of the Week: A hearty DotW welcome goes out to New Zigland, last season’s MVP of this space. They are BACK baybee! This time it was not the loss of a bull centaur that gained them the leagues highest, most dubious accolade, but a legendary hobgoblin (and one-turn threat in Wolvezzz capable hands), Russl Wilsn. With New Zig slowly shedding their old guard (they also lost a 5 skill dwarf this week) we might see an entirely different team by the end of this season than the one we saw enter the 2020 rules changeover (except, of course, for Not Dyin’ Ryan).

Maimed of the Week

Nashuda Clackbones: Arizona hobgoblin (-AG); Wrestle, Kick, Shadowing
Micah Kisser: Glams lineman (-AV); Wrestle, Side Step, Kick
Maverick Ohtran [BYU]: Kansas City blitzer (-AV); Guard, Dodge
Kaylee Morie: Kansas City lineman; no skills
Yak Dorfburster: Orkapolis big ‘un (-AG); Block, Guard
Niril: NOLA blitzer (-PA); Dodge
Gerhart: NOLA lineman (-MA); Block, Dodge
Joni Gonzalez [UNAM]: Atlanta bull centaur (-AV); Block, Guard, Mighty Blow, Tackle
Calculon Gabbert: Clampa Bay thrower (-AG); Block
Zach Davidson: Buffalo lineman (-AV); Leap, Sprint

Week 6! Maybe a thing can possibly happen with the playoffs! (We don't know, the games aren't played yet! But nothing happened in the AFC.) Due to this, we shall convert to scoring by conference, instead of overall. And this week, teams need to be within 4 wins to still be close to the playoffs.

NBFL Season XXX Week 4

While renovating the Las Vegas locker room, a curious document was discovered. While archeologists have yet to determine the full purpose of this record, we present it to you now for the first time.

Dead of the Week

Gene Okerlund [UmGO]: Trans-Fat Crisco blitzer; Mighty Blow, Tackle, Guard, Juggernaut
Cherry Waz [RMC]: Arizona chorf blocker; Mighty Blow, Side Step, Guard
Jack Jewsbury [StL]: Las Vegas catcher; +AG, +MA, Block, Dodge, Leap
Aiden Vythethi: Kansas City blitzer; no skills
Louis Necur: Kansas City lineman; Wrestle
Grant Naul [BYU]: Witchington blitzer; Dodge, Tackle, Guard
K. DaDrake [PAIN]: Illadelph chosen blocker; Guard, Block, Mighty Blow
Ainais Smith [A&M]: Clampa Bay blitzer; Dodge, Side Step, Frenzy, Pro
Reggie “the Edgy” Williams [UDUB]: Buffalo witch elf; +ST, +MA, Wrestle, Juggernaut
Elf Lives Matter [ND]: NOLA lineman; Wrestle, Dodge

Death of the Week: All that can be made out in this smudged, torn section is “Ja-” and “best ca-“ so our team thinks it may be referring to this Jack Jewsbury above. Apparently there is heavy water damage and traces of various different stains, possibly wine or juice of some kind, that make this passage impossible to interpret.

Maimed of the Week

Karter Efnie: Trans-Fat Crisco blitzer (-AG); Guard, Strip Ball, Grab, Multiple Block
Albert Crumm [NOVA]: Arizona chorf blocker (-ST); +ST, Grab
Bertland Berry: Denver skink (-AV); Diving Tackle
Alex Bars: Las Vegas lineman (-PA); Dodge
Trey Jortsnake: Jakesonville lineman; Kick
Santana Moss: Witchington lineman (-AV); Block
Erica Flowers: Witchington witch elf (-PA); Wrestle
Denise Kelly [CHI]: Illadelph beastman (-AV); Block, Guard, Stand Firm
