Seattle Dragons will soon have players as XFL to hold draft Oct. 15-16

The Seattle XFL team got its name in August, and next week the Seattle Dragons will have players.

The XFL announced Monday that the eight teams will each select 71 players during a two-day draft that will take place next Tuesday and Wednesday (Oct. 15-16).

Before the draft, each team will be assigned a quarterback. Then, during the draft, teams will take 10 players from four different pools (skill players, offensive line, defensive front seven and defensive backfield). Finally, the final 31 players will be selected in an open draft, with teams able to pick players at any position.
