The XFL began building for its Feb. 2020 launch on Tuesday, and continuing into Wednesday, as the newly rebooted league held its first draft.
The league assigned a quarterback to each of the eight teams and then the five-phase draft began with the Skills Postitions, Offensive Line, and Defensive Front Seven phases on day one; the Defensive Backs and Open Draft phases will take place on day two.
In the first of this three-part series, we examined the eight XFL teams: Seattle Dragons, Los Angeles Wildcats, Dallas Renegades, Houston Roughnecks, St. Louis BattleHawks, Tampa Bay Vipers, and the New York Guardians.
The quarterback assignments were also revealed and we broke down the skills positions phase of the draft. In part two of the series, we break down the rest of day one of the XFL draft and the offensive line and defensive front seven phases of the draft.
