Hey gang, the AAFL draft is on if you want to watch. To view it online just go to the AAFL homepage. There's a link in the top left that let's you view it.

Alabama's first pick was OL Josh Sewell out of Nebraska. This kid just looks like he'll eat you if you get too close to him. He's a mean-looking, grown-a**ed man I'll tell you that.

Not that I'm against it because he looks like a player, but I thought each of the state teams were supposed to made up of players that played college ball in that state. In other words, I thought the Alabama team would be comprised of guys that played for Alabama, Auburn, Troy, UAB, ASU AA&M and Tuskegee.

I think that the protective lists for each time are made up of that state's players.
BAMA has guys like Miles, Saleem Rasheed, and some AU guys.

I wouldn't want him.
Bo, one thing I was going to mention too regarding the rosters. The only problem with having a draft and having the teams use players excusive to their state is that you couldn't actually have a draft.
If the teams were using players exlusive to their state then no one actually has a chance to draft any player they want. So you wouldn't have a draft you'd just have teams invite in FA's to eval and sign.
I'm just glad Alabama has a team. I hope they do well and I'll watch and try to support this. It could be fun.

Oh I agree about the draft chopper. And I'm some what excited about this league. I was one of the few that loved the USFL. As I said in the other thread, I just hope some of the gaems are televised on a channel I can get.

Dude! I loved the USFL! Birmingham had a good team too. I used to love watching Joe Cribbs and Cliff Stoudt play.

So has Alabama only made 2 picks so far?
Edit: A DL from Missiouri. Do we already have a roster and we're just drafting guys...or what?

ghice, I was jsut reading on another site and the poster says that it's going to be mixed rules. I'm assuming he got that off the AAFL homepage.
He mentioned OT would be like college. One foot in bounds, college hash marks, and a few other things. So it's a combo of both it appears.

We ended up getting a bunch of former Alabama and Auburn players. I might actually keep up with this league, I hope we're good though. Anyone know who the Alabama team's QB is going to be? Tennessee has Tee Martin and Florida has Chris Leak. :shock:
