XFL "Defensive Backfield" And "Open Draft" Draft Results
The time has finally arrived as Vince McMahon's XFL is starting to take shape. They announced the names of the teams that will be competing this upcoming season, as well as the broadcasts that will be sharing coverage for the masses. All that is missing are the players.
The XFL Draft began on October 15th at 10 a.m. ET and continued yesterday, October 16th. Players from around the world received an invitation to become a part of the rebooted league. The draft was 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)
Teams were able to choose the Defensive Backfield and all remaining players in the Open Draft. In case you missed it, attached are the results of the Skills Players Draft and the Offensive Line/Defensive Front Seven Draft.
