In case you missed it, I almost did, The XFL held their inaugural draft this week.
Because this is the first draft for the league it’s being conducted in positional phases. Before the draft began each team submitted a list of their preferred quarterbacks and the league assigning one quarterback to each team prior to the draft as “tier 1”.
- Phase 1: offensive skill positions 10/15
- Phase 2: offensive linemen 10/15
- Phase 3: defensive front seven 10/15
- Phase 4: defensive backs 10/16
- Phase 5: open draft 10/16
Tyree Jackson - DC Defenders - 9th round (Skill Draft)
Jackson was not one of the preferred quarterbacks and was the fourth quarterback taken in the draft.
