AAF draft to leverage fan interest in regional QBs
Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2018 5:54 pm
“Quarterbacks have been allocated by region based on where they played college football or last NFL/CFL team. If they went to school outside of an Alliance team's area the player will essentially be a free agent.
“The draft will begin with each team deciding which, if any, quarterbacks that have been allocated to them by their region they will protect. The protected pick becomes a team's first round selection, much like a keeper league in fantasy sports.
“After each team has made that first pick, the teams which chose not to protect a quarterback will begin selecting from the entire pool of signal callers in their draft order.”
