For the memories and for the beautiful drone shots.
Look at these bad boys.
Thank you Brandon for these epic shots.
NUT REPORT WEEK 2
Well this podcast already proved out to be completely wrong. Apologies for the tiers being dramatically off. Since recording, Brandon has gone from Tier 3 to Tier 1 by sheer points alone. I told you all it was early. We’ll get more concrete facts next week as we add another data point to the equation.
Until then, enjoy the NEW tiers and all the other information you love.

NUT REPORT WEEK 1
Let’s go boys! Week 1 is in the books and the DVFFL content machine is firing up again. I’m very pleased to give you all the latest NUT REPORT for I believe our 7th year straight of it. And, of course, a Podly Weekly to accompany it. Think of the NUT REPORT as your steak and the Podly as your potatoes.
It took everything in me to not ramble on for over an hour. But I kept it short and sweet and to the point for 30 mins. If you’re interested in exploring more of my episodes metaphor, here is the link to the book.
Alright no more typing.

2021 Draft Grades
The fun is over. Now the work begins.
After an off-season of speculation, expectations and nerves, came one of the most anticipated drafts the DVFFL has ever had in it’s 11 years. This draft brings on a new precedent – the trading of draft dollars. This draft changed the landscape for every single team. Gone are the days of all of us starting from the same start line. This point was emphasized by $108 dollar gap between the highest starting budgets (240) and the lowest starting budgets (132).
Some things to keep in mind when looking at these grades:
The average budget for the league was $189.
The average budget for playoffs teams was $171.
The average budget for non-playoff teams was $215. ($227 if you remove Dyl).
It is impossible for me to go pick by pick and tell if it was a value or not. However, the baseline assumption is, the bigger the budget the better the draft grade.
The grades:
1. Kaden - A+ (100% chance of playoffs) Budget: $240
2. Mitch - A (84% chance of playoffs) Budget: $231
3. Gare* - A (81% chance of playoffs) Budget: $205
4. Jadon* - A (79% chance of playoffs) Budget: $194
5. Cody - A (79% chance of playoffs) Budget $240
6. Christian - A (76% chance of playoffs) Budget $226
7. Brandon - A- (68% chance of playoffs) Budget $202
8. Jesse* - B+ (65% chance of playoffs) Budget $200
9. Zach* - B (43% chance of playoffs) Budget $168
10. Kory* - B- (34% chance of playoffs) Budget $168
11. Brian* - C+ (26% chance of playoffs) Budget $132
12. Cal* - C (16% chance of playoffs) Budget $164
13. Dylan - C (12% chance of playoffs) Budget $148
14. Peyton* - C (12% chance of playoffs) Budget $138
*denotes 2020 playoff team.
**The percentage chance of playoffs is assuming an average level of team management. Those percentages will be higher with timely waivers, good trades and correct lineup decisions. However, with this league, you can’t always assume that consistently happens.
So can we trust these grades? Last year, 6 of the 8 teams listed in the top 8 made the playoffs. With the top two teams, Kory and Jesse, being the two teams that made the finals.
But let me explain further:
