Inaugural UFL Draft

[Fort]

They held their draft earlier tonight. 24 rounds. Each team had already signed about 20 players a piece, and most QBs were "protected" from the draft. JP Losman signed with LV and Tim Rattay with SF, I think. Rosters will be unveiled July 1st.

It looks like they'll actually stick around for the first season (all six weeks of it...). I'm excited, though. I love these lower level leagues as a draft nut. You see a lot of the sleeper-type guys who weren't given a shot (Brian Johnson and Shannon Woods on the same team = awesome).

The formatting sucks, but I pulled it straight from their website.

lol

can't wait.

[RaiderNdaBlood]

Kill joy, my brain tricked my eyes into reading the title as UNFL draft.

bummer....

[Maddict]

shane boyd will do some damage in that league imo...

[ShopCartRicky]

LaBrandon Toefield should dominate. He played well for the Jags when he was actually apart of the gameplan.

[Tdoggy]

Orlando has a nice squad

[Tokyoo]

All the former Vikes went to Orlando.. Bollinger, Wiggins, Doss. Beast. How much are these guys going to be playing for?

[Fort]

I've heard $80-100K. Only six games, so that's not awful. Especially for guys like Wendell Bryant that are trying to get back into the league.

I'm excited to see Kinoshita back in America. He's an electric little WR. Brian Johnson, Shannon Woods, Shane Boyd; all should be great young players for their teams that hopefully get a NFL shot after the season is over. Tyson Thompson is making a comeback with the league. I'm excited (if all of these player do indeed sign with the UFL).

I think the Panthers signed him last season, but I don't think he ever played.
