2021 UFFL Draft

PREVIOUS: 2019 UFFL Draft << 2021 UFFL Draft >> NEXT: 2022 UFFL Draft

The 2021 UFFL Draft (Season 7) was held on September 12, 2021 in Las Vegas (home of the Las Vegas Bandits) at 4 PM EST. It served as a celebratory event in introducing new rookies into the UFFL.

The event was hosted by ~pythos_cheetah (Simon Kurkewicz) and ~Madworld (Larry Walden), and lasted about 4 hours. First round draft picks had 5 minutes to select their first pick; the 2nd and 3rd rounds had 3 minutes per pick. A minimum three rounds are required per UFFL rules and regulations (48 picks total).

The first eight spots in the draft order were determined by lottery, with preference given to the teams with the lowest record. Spots 9 through 16 were determined by 2019 record.

The UFFL 2021 Draft Combine draftees' evaluations will be made available shortly. Below are the results of the draft.

Incidents

The first round of the Draft completed without much fanfare. Grand Rapids and New Orleans both traded up to obtain additional picks, sending DT Joan Connors and RB Kevin Ellison to Baltimore and Texas respectively.

At the procession of the second round, things went adrift during the first pick of the evening (#19) for the Texas Ramblers. The stage was "taken over" by Marcus Leroux, boyfriend of wide receiver Jacqueline Knight, who used the opportunity to propose to Knight. She agreed; however, this took up more than the three minutes allotted per UFFL regulations. Televisions went to break and returned after the stage was cleared, save for Knight; the three minute timeline restarted with the GM announcing his own pick.

Downriver (at pick #20) had attempted to make their pick (Rick Nicksen) after Texas ran out of time, in compliance to regulations which state if you run out of time you lose your 'spot in line'. Flustered, the Commissioners waived off the submission until the Ramblers completed their pick.

Later in the third round (#39), the Las Vegas Bandits ran out of time due to a trade deal with the Montreal Royal that was declined by the Commissioner. The clock was reset and the Bandits made their pick shortly thereafter without issue.
