We saw yet another trade fest in Round 5 as 8 picks were acquired via transaction. I have to say that Rounds 1-3 played out pretty much as I expected but when we hit Rounds 4-5, that’s when the party started. As we progressed through the rest of the draft, the high level of activity continued and everybody pretty much agreed that the league was expected to be among the most active whether owners had small volume or crazy volume (40+ for yours truly). We wrap up our coverage with Part 5 of 5.
Round 4 jumped off the rails as seven of the 12 picks selected came via trade. By far the most active part of the startup, the movement here set the tone for the rest of the draft. At this point, the feeling out portion had concluded and it was officially game on – Round 4 of 5 was fireworks personified.
Not much in the way of trades as we moved through Round 3 but our first rookies came off the board at 3.04 (Ashton Jeanty) and 3.06 (Tet McMillan). Tet would later be moved via a blockbuster deal between @FFDelly and @DFF_MR – full download below. We also witnessed two more TEs drafted at the top of Round 3 as both @dirrim23 and @DFF_MR opted to lock down top-tier options with the Tight End Premium and take full advantage of the Third Round Reversal benefit. The DFF League of Record Startup Draft continues with Part 3 of 5.
Madness ensues as Round 2 gets underway in the Dynasty Football Factory startup draft. Jump into the minds of these twelve Dynasty analysts in this DFF exclusive article!
The DFF Team volleys content ideas regularly in search of compelling articles at pertinent times. And though we’ve found our focus primarily on the 2025 NFL Rookie Prospects as of late, I asked the squad to pull together a mock start-up for the first five rounds. As the ideas started to percolate, @FFChalmers threw out the notion to not only cover the genesis of a startup draft, as we have done so many times in the past, but this time to make it an actual league. A bunch of us looked around the room and said, “Duh,” – so the DFF Dynasty League of Record was born (not to be confused with the other 5-6 DFF Leagues currently in operation). We hope that you can glean from the strategies, at least early on, should you choose to join a Startup before Free Agency or the NFL Draft. We start with the first round – Part 1 of 5.

It has become common knowledge in the Dynasty community that one should either compete for a championship or try to acquire future assets and secure a higher draft spot. While many can tell when it is time to “blow it up” and begin rebuilding on a team that was once a contender, the part often unmentioned is when to go from a rebuilding team to winning the championship. I have experienced the joy of earning the 1.01 as my rookie pick and winning a championship the following season, but I have also seen many teams stuck in the perpetual rebuild. Their roster and assets look great in any roster evaluation tool, but we aren’t here to have good-looking rosters. We are here to win championships. So how do we turn the corner?
