The XFL Draft started today, October 15th at 10 a.m. ET and continues tomorrow, October 16th. Players from around the world received an invitation to become a part of the rebooted league. The draft will be phased the following way:
1. Skill Players (QB, RB, WR, TE)
2. Offensive Line (OT, OG, OC)
3. Defensive Front Seven (DL, LB)
4. Defensive Backfield (CB, NB, SS, FS)
5. Open Draft (In addition to P/K/LS, all remaining players after positional drafts will be available)
The D.C. Defenders had the first pick when it comes to the skill-position players. In Phases 1-4, each team will get to choose ten players, resulting in 40 players. Phase five is when teams can choose the remaining members of the roster. To make things interesting, the XFL will be going through a “snake” format; the team selecting first in the first round will pick eighth in the second round, first in the third, and so on. As of today, the XFL will be going through faces one through three.
The XFL has already announced the Tier One Quarterback situation:
