Rookie Draft

[Laimbeer40]

Rookie Draft 


The Draft will begin no later than June 1st and will last 5 Rounds.  The draft will not snake. 
Draft Order based on following factors:
1. Record
2. Points Scored
3. Super Bowl Winner picks last. The Runner-up picks 2nd to last.

Draft Picks are tradable. If a team misses their pick time, then they will be skipped. The team can make up the pick anytime, but the draft will continue. Just like real life. 

*In order to protect franchises with owners who are unresponsive, players will be assigned to teams if their owner does not make up a pick by the end of the following round*

Rookie Wage Scale

All drafted players in rounds 1-3 are immediately assigned a 4-year contract with annual salary based on their slot they were drafted in. Players drafted in rounds 4-6 will assume a 3 yr deal.

- These are slotted salaries not based on a player's real life draft position.

Beginning with 2025 draft picks we will effectively move 3rd round picks from 4 year deals to 3 year deals.
